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

 Great Bird Feeder January 2, 2009
Mary L. Epstein (Houston, TX USA)
We've never had so many birds before! Watching the occasional squirrel go for a ride is fun too.
It's almost perfect! December 21, 2008
Suzanne K. Geldmacher (St. Louis, MO)
It's a wonderful product and I recommend it! The squirrels learned very quickly. Although I wanted to squirrels off the bird feeder, I do put their food (sunflower seeds, dried corn) on the ground - so that helped them keep focused off the feeder.
There are some drawbacks for the Yankee Flipper: 1. It's very hard to remove the lid to pour the food in, especially when you can't hold onto the bottom (activating the spin control). 2. The metal rod controlling the lid and connecting to the side of the feeder, comes out of the plastic feeder side too easily - it's a struggle inserting it back in. Eventially it might not stay connected. 3. The feeder will not stand upright on its own when recharging the battery. If it falls over when rigged to stand up, seeds will be spilled. Emptying it is a pain, because filling it after charged is a pain (again because there is no place on the bottom to hold it easily.)
All that said - I would still purchase this product again.
Birds love it and so do I December 4, 2008

I have been a bird watcher and feeder for 16 years. This is the best feeder I have ever found to truly keep the squirrels out of the feeder and on the ground where they belong. It holds a lot of seed so we don't have to constantly refill it. We live in the NW where it rains a lot but the seed stays dry. And every morning the birds flock to it, mostly chickadees, finches, nuthatches, and pine siskins. We use an S hook to hang it from a tree limb, so it is easy to access. It is great!
