Yankee Bird Feeders

Droll Yankee Bird Feeders Squirrel Proof

When you try to keep squirrels away from your feeders you must take into consideration not only limiting access to the feeders but also get the squirrels off from the feeder. Limiting the access to the feeder can be done with proper placement of the feeder and also with the use of some accessories like cages and squirrel baffles.

Droll Yankee bird feeders deal with the problem of squirrels from a different approach. The idea is to get the squirrels of from the feeder either by dropping them off the perches or spinning them off with a motor.

Probably the most famous is the Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. This model has a battery powered motor which spins the perch, and is activated by weight on the perch ring.

The Yankee Tipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder attracts ground feeders with a seed tray without feeding squirrels. He has a 10" diameter weight sensitive feeding tray that tips under the weight of a grey squirrel, but can hold the weight of up to four cardinals. The large tray gives ground feeders and songbirds a flat perching surface that also collects fallen seed and also serves as a platform that allows multiple birds to feed simultaneously from the four seed ports.

Another model is the Yankee Whipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. That has four individual perches weight activated that collapse under the weight of squirrels but not birds.  They will support the weight of larger birds like cardinals.

The more affordable is the Yankee Dipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. This one is sized for smaller birds. The straight perches will collapse under the weight of small red squirrels and larger birds.

The Droll Yankees squirrel proof feeders are some of the most effective feeders on the market. The simple tube design makes it difficult for the squirrel to even get to the feeders, but if they do, a simple spin of the perch has them back on their way. It doesn't harm the squirrel, it simply frustrates them, while it does nothing to the birds you are working to attract.
