Droll Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder

How the Yankee Flipper Works

The Droll Yankee Flipper features a unique, weight-sensitive motorized perch ring that flips squirrels off the feeder while allowing birds to enjoy their meal in peace. This clever mechanism is finely tuned to detect the weight of a squirrel. When a squirrel attempts to land on the perch, the motor is activated, and the ring spins, quickly sending the squirrel on its way—without harm, but certainly without a snack. This system ensures that your birdseed is reserved exclusively for the birds, giving you more value for your feed.

More giant birds, such as cardinals and woodpeckers, are welcomed on the perch, as the system is calibrated to handle their weight without triggering the spin. The feeder accommodates these larger species while keeping squirrels and unwanted visitors at bay.

Durable and Squirrel-Proof Design

The feeder's 21-inch-long, clear polycarbonate seed tube is essential to its squirrel-proof design. This U.V.-stabilized polycarbonate is not only durable but also transparent, allowing you to monitor seed levels easily. Its length and wide circumference make it difficult, if possible, for squirrels to reach the ports, further discouraging their attempts to steal food.

Birds can only access the seed from the ports around the perch ring, ensuring that squirrels can't outwit the system. The snug-fitting, heavy-duty cap at the top of the feeder is designed to stay firmly in place, preventing squirrels from lifting it to access the seed. Only human hands can remove the cap for easy refilling.

High-Quality, Weather-Resistant Materials

Built to withstand outdoor elements, the Droll Yankee Flipper features powder-coated metal components in a beautiful forest green finish. This durable coating resists chipping and fading, ensuring that your feeder maintains its visual appeal even after prolonged exposure to sun, rain, and snow.

The transparent seed tube is made from U.V.-stabilized polycarbonate, a material known for its resistance to weathering and cracking. You can rest assured that your bird feeder will maintain its integrity and appearance year after year. The heavy-duty metal parts are sturdy and, with their sleek green finish, add an elegant touch to your garden.

Easy to Hang and Refill

Thanks to the sturdy, stainless steel looped hanging wire, hanging the Droll Yankee Flipper is incredibly easy. Whether you're attaching it to a tree branch or a hook, the feeder stays secure and well-positioned, ready to attract your favorite birds.

Refilling is just as convenient. The large-capacity seed tube holds plenty of birdseed, minimizing the frequency of refills. When it's time to add more seed, remove the cap at the top, fill the tube, and securely replace the cap. This user-friendly design ensures that you spend more time enjoying birdwatching and less time maintaining your feeder.

Attracts a Variety of Birds

The Droll Yankee Flipper is designed to attract a wide range of songbirds, including cardinals, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, and woodpeckers. The motorized perch ring supports these species by offering a comfortable feeding spot, while the squirrel-proof mechanism ensures uninterrupted access to food.

This feeder can accommodate a variety of bird species, making it a focal point for birdwatchers who want to enjoy the beauty and diversity of their local bird populations without the frustration of dealing with squirrels.
