Sick of squirrels getting into your bird feeders? Take action! Our line of Droll Yankees squirrel-proof bird feeders will prevent squirrels from eating all your bird food so that the birds can feed in peace. Plus, we’ll admit it’s kind of entertaining to watch squirrels “flip” over these clever bird feeders. See for yourself in the videos below!
The Yankee Dipper 90 Degree Bird Feeder
Perfect for songbirds and other small birds, the Yankee Dipper 90 Degree bird feeder has perches that collapse when more than two ounces rest on them. From every direction, squirrels will try—and fail—to get a handle on this bird feeder. Topped with a heavy metal cap that fits snugly onto the feeder tube, this squirrel-proof bird feeder is also inaccessible to squirrels if they try to open it.
The Yankee Tipper 360 Degree Bird Feeder
When it comes to bird feeders, some birds prefer to alight on a tray instead of a perch. The Yankee Tipper 360 Degree bird feeder has a weight-sensitive feeding tray that tips under the weight of eight ounces or more—definitely squirrel-proof! The feeding tray can accommodate the weight of multiple birds at once (approximately four cardinals or the weight equivalent). A snug metal lid prevents squirrels from gaining access to the feed from the top, and four seed ports allow several birds to feed at once.
The Yankee Flipper
Talk about taking a bird feeder for a spin! Squirrels will literally flip over the motor-driven Yankee Flipper bird feeder. With a weight-activated perch ring that starts spinning the moment a squirrel lands on it, they won’t stand a chance of getting to the feed before they’re lightly tossed off. Safe for squirrels and functional for even larger birds like cardinals and woodpeckers, the Yankee Flipper has four feeding ports so that several birds can feed simultaneously. The metal lid is secured tightly enough so that squirrels won’t be able to access the seed, but loose enough for you to re-fill the feeder with ease.
The Yankee Whipper 180 Degree
With its curved four-perch design made so that each perch collapses under the weight of anything larger than a bird, the Yankee Whipper 180 Degree bird feeder is another Droll Yankees bird feeder that will save you both money and bird seed! Four seed ports allow multiple birds to feed at once from this tubular bird feeder, cleverly constructed so that its height prevents squirrels from hanging onto the top and bypassing the collapsible perches to access the feed. Watch these squirrels try and get past the Yankee Whipper, Mission Impossible-style! (Because, for them, the mission is truly impossible!)
