Amazon.com Review
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

5 out of 5 stars Yankee Flipper throws off the squirrels   July 14, 2010
Shar
This is the second Yankee Flipper we have purchased. We had our first feeder for many years. It is so much fun watching the squirrels try to get to the feed. When they do get on the Flipper, they fly around and around. We love this product and would recommend it to anyone who is having problems with squirrels eating all the feed in their bird feeders.


5 out of 5 stars Tons of Fun   July 9, 2010
JOHN C. OAKLEY (GREENSBORO, NC, US)
We have enjoyed watching the squirrels trying to get to the seeds inside the cylinder. Those which have failed
show respect for the Yankee Flipper but still keep trying. One result is that the birds flock to the Flipper far more than
they do to the other feeder. A big benefit is that we aren't using up seed intended for the birds as fast as before.
You have a great product.



5 out of 5 stars I have really enjoyed watching the squirrels try to get to the food   June 24, 2010
Charlotte H. Coffey (Chesterfield, Virginia)
The squirrels have tried and tried to get to the food. They just get thrown off. I have had this feeder for a few weeks and so far the squirrels have not
been able to eat the seed. I am so glad I purchased this item. The BIRDS love it, especially the Cardinals.

This feeder is definitely worth the money just to get a laugh out of watching the squirrels. Only negative is that you need to make sure the feeder is anchored in a stationary position. When the squirrel is spinning the feeder is making an arc and the seed falls out very rapidly. It does deter even the most determined squirrels after a while. Seed lasts so much longer as you are only feeding the birds so it wouldn't take long to pay for the feeder in seed savings.


5 out of 5 stars Great product and AMAZING customer service!   May 27, 2010

I bought my Droll Yankee Flipper about 2 years ago. I just love it, but what I love even more is the company's customer service. Whenever I have a question or need a repair, they are so helpful!!! You can find their product at [...] and the phone number is [...] . If I could give this product and company more than 5 stars, I would!
