droll yankees yankee flipper squirrel-proof bird feeder feed birds not squirrels
Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder

Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder

Looking for a fun and entertaining way to feed birds, not squirrels? The Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder combines superior durability and a weight-activated, motorized perch to provide humane squirrel defense. The UV-resistant seed reservoir and powder-coated, heavy-duty metal components offer superior durability and resistance to the elements and squirrel damage, so you can be sure this feeder will last through many seasons.

Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder has a squirrel proof design

Squirrel-Proof Design

The 100% squirrel-proof* design is centered around a spinning perch. When a squirrel tries to gain access to the feeder, the weight-sensitive perch activates the motor. The spinning action then gently tosses the squirrel off before it can devour your seed supply. In addition, the tight-fitting metal cap prevents squirrels from lifting the lid, while the long seed reservoir prevents them from reaching the ports from above.

*A 100% squirrel-proof feeder starts with hanging it correctly! Hang the feeder at least 4’ off the ground and 8’ away from anything a squirrel can jump from, so squirrels can’t reach the ports without activating the spinning perch.

Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder accommodates multiple birds

Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder ensures less seed waste

Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder is easy to fill and clean

Feed Birds, Not Squirrels

The Yankee Flipper is calibrated to support the weight of even large birds like cardinals and woodpeckers but is immediately activated by squirrels. With less competition from squirrels, birds won’t be able to resist stopping by for a visit! With four feeding ports and a circular perch, multiple birds can dine at the same time, and you can enjoy a better view.

Less Seed Waste

The feeder’s squirrel-proof design ensures less seed waste, which means money saved and fewer messes on the ground. Plus, the large 5 lb seed capacity ensures you won’t have to worry about birds emptying your feeder too quickly during peak feeding times. Convenient internal baffles also help to keep seed flowing freely to the ports as birds feed.

Easy to Fill & Clean

Cleaning and filling is an effortless process thanks to the feeder’s convenient design. This feeder features a lift-off lid and wide-mouth seed reservoir so you can easily get to every nook and cranny. We recommend cleaning the feeder at least every two weeks and regularly checking the seed to ensure it is free of insects and mold.

Product Description

Product Description

A favorite of almost every backyard feeder bird. They have easy to crack, thin shells and can be offered in a wide variety of feeder types, like platform, tube, and hopper feeders. These seeds also have a high fat content that is perfect for giving birds energy all year long, especially in winter.

Amazon.com

This Yankee Flipper squirrel-proof feeder is the ultimate feeder for keeping your feathered friends fed, and the furred fiends hungry. Let's talk about the basics first. The sturdy polycarbonate feeding chamber is a whopping 4-3/4 inches in diameter and 21 inches long, giving you a break between refills--and ensuring that squirrels can't hang down from the top to reach seed. The four feeding chambers are easily accessible via the perch ring, and the interior of the chamber is designed to direct seed into the seed ports.

Now, for the fun stuff: The birdfeeder features an encased motor and rechargeable (and replaceable) batteries. When you receive the feeder, simply charge the batteries overnight, hang the feeder from its looped bail wire, and prepare to be amazed (and entertained!). The motor is connected to the weight activated perch ring--birds will not set it off, even larger species like woodpeckers and cardinals. But the minute a squirrel hops onto the perch, the motor is triggered and the feeder begins spinning, taking the squirrel for a whirl before it loses its grip and is thrown (gently) from the perch. It's a humanitarian way to deal with persistent squirrels--there are no shocks or poisons to hurt them, simply a wild ride that they won't be inclined to repeat. Birds are free to eat without disruption, and your family will get a kick out of watching squirrels go for their rides. There's a lifetime warranty on the feeder body and a one-year warranty on the motor and battery charger. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Almost perfect
4 Stars
Almost perfect
Does what it claims and throws off squirrels. Our squirrels gave up after two weeks and haven't bothered it since. However, the switch to turn it on is poorly designed. I'm in my seventies and am not the least bit feeble, but still I couldn't operate that switch without the spinner trying to take off a finger. Reaching it from above, I could touch it but not turn it. To solve the problem, I rigged a simple lever. (See photos)For the high cost of this thing Yankee Droll ought to add one. Admittedly, mine could conceivable provide a support for a squirrel (not a problem for me since my squirrels gave up long ago.) The manufacturer could easily add one that pivots and tucks out of the way underneath.

Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023
This anti-squirrel feeder is the bomb! It's a quality piece, easy to assemble, easy to clean, and easy to refill. And...it actually works in being squirrel-proof! It works so well that after about a week, the squirrels no longer even try. They just gather the seeds that lay on the ground. It has been such a joy watching the birds come and feed in the mornings and late afternoons. It's become quite the attraction. We now have the neighborhood diner for squirrels.
I felt I was taking a small risk as this feeder is not inexpensive. But it works so well and the value is so great, this morning I ordered another one!

Dec 2023. We've been using it for nearly six months now and I am more convinced now than ever before. This is an amazing feeder and is worth every penny we spent. The squirrels actually learn to stay away despite their best efforts to get to the seeds. It's easy to full and maintain and seems, except for one minor concern, to be incredibly durable. The battery holds a charge, but the longer we leave it out, the less frequently it needs to be charged because the squirrels learn to stay away. When it does need to be cleaned and charged, it's an easy and quick process.
Our feeder area has become an incredible community center for the birds in our area. We spend early mornings and lazy afternoons amazed by the number of birds that show up. Trying to identify them all can be a challenge! One benefit is that, while the perches are better suited for small birds, the seeds that fall to the ground attract larger birds as well.
I'll attach a picture of the lid to the feeder. It's made of rugged metal and shows the evidence of some squirrels that managed to get on top and tried to gnaw their way into the seed chamber. This is a well-thought-out design!
Our only minor concern is the container for the seed. It is showing a faint crack near the top. I am going to investigate whether replacements are available. It will be a small price to pay for all the enjoyment we get form this feeder.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defeats Squirrels
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023
Well made feeder that defeats squirrels. Hi quality & design. Ring Perch operates with rechargeable battery and will spin rapidly if squirrels get on as the weight sets the perch spinning throwing the squirrel off. I have birds as large as doves sit on it without setting it spinning. Squirrels are not able to remove lid and cannot stretch from lid to feeding holes as the length is too long. It is expensive but you will save at least that much in bird seed expenses in a relatively short time. It pays for itself and provides entertainment. I just recently replaced my original which lasted well over 15 years.
