A favorite of almost every backyard feeder bird. They have easy to crack, thin shells and can be offered in a wide variety of feeder types, like platform, tube, and hopper feeders. These seeds also have a high fat content that is perfect for giving birds energy all year long, especially in winter.
100% SQUIRREL PROOF* – The feeder’s weight-activated spinning perch gently tosses squirrels off when they try to access the ports, but allows even large birds to feed
FEED MULTIPLE BIRDS – Four feeding ports allow multiple birds, including cardinals, chickadees, finches, grosbeaks, jays, juncos, nuthatches, and more, to dine at the same time
SUPERIOR DURABILITY – This feeder is made with heavy-duty metal components that have been powder coated, so the feeder can be reused for many birding seasons
SAVES SEED – The feeder’s squirrel-proof design ensures less seed waste, which means birds can enjoy more seed, while you save money and deal with fewer messes on the ground
EASY TO CLEAN & FILL – The Yankee Flipper features a lift-off lid and wide-mouth seed reservoir to allow for easy filling and cleaning. The reservoir holds up to 5 lb of black-oil sunflower seed or mixed seed

Title: Finally, one that works!follow up after 5 momths
Review: This anti-squirrel feeder is the bomb! It's a quality piece, easy to assemble, easy to clean, and easy to refill. And...it actually works in being squirrel-proof! It works so well that after about a week, the squirrels no longer even try. They just gather the seeds that lay on the ground. It has been such a joy watching the birds come and feed in the mornings and late afternoons. It's become quite the attraction. We now have the neighborhood diner for squirrels.I felt I was taking a small risk as this feeder is not inexpensive. But it works so well and the value is so great, this morning I ordered another one!Dec 2023. We've been using it for nearly six months now and I am more convinced now than ever before. This is an amazing feeder and is worth every penny we spent. The squirrels actually learn to stay away despite their best efforts to get to the seeds. It's easy to full and maintain and seems, except for one minor concern, to be incredibly durable. The battery holds a charge, but the longer we leave it out, the less frequently it needs to be charged because the squirrels learn to stay away. When it does need to be cleaned and charged, it's an easy and quick process.Our feeder area has become an incredible community center for the birds in our area. We spend early mornings and lazy afternoons amazed by the number of birds that show up. Trying to identify them all can be a challenge! One benefit is that, while the perches are better suited for small birds, the seeds that fall to the ground attract larger birds as well.I'll attach a picture of the lid to the feeder. It's made of rugged metal and shows the evidence of some squirrels that managed to get on top and tried to gnaw their way into the seed chamber. This is a well-thought-out design!Our only minor concern is the container for the seed. It is showing a faint crack near the top. I am going to investigate whether replacements are available. It will be a small price to pay for all the enjoyment we get form this feeder.

Title: This is a PERFECT, SQUIRREL-PROOF feeder!!!
Review: This feeder is AMAZING! Not only are the squirrels completely confused, but they are so persistent, trying EVERY conceivable way to access the seeds, and not only are they never successful, but it's absolutely GREAT entertainment!! The feeder is expensive but so worth it! We've had many different feeders, and this is the ONLY one that succeeds! We're so enthusiastic that we bought a second one for double the enjoyment!! 😊

Title: Great Product, Even Better Customer Service!
Review: I have owned sooooo many "squirrel proof" bird feeders over the years that I have lost count. But this one really IS squirrel proof! It is built like a tank, holds about 5 lbs of seed, and after a year + in Florida weather, looks like the day we put it up. We did experience a minor issue with our unit, but made a call to their customer service department and 2 days later, the piece arrived and been perfect ever since. Customer service like that seems to be so rare nowadays. We were impressed with how quickly and satisfactorily they responded. Couldn't recommend this company highly enough!

Title: A solid product - updated again! 5 years later
Review: Video: the Flipper in action! No squirrels got hurt in the process of making the video. :)Initial review from 2010: Works well so far - it's been outside since I got it in July and the birds love it. The squirrels were at first wary and then they got a little daring - and got flung gently away. I don't get a huge variety of birds (it's winter now so that has something to do with it) and my local birdfeed store guy told me that cardinals can't clutch the ring perch. It seems to be true - the cardinals will eat from the other (bar type perch instead of ring perch) feeder but not this one.It does seem tough and well made, extremely easy to fill, and it looks absolutely brand-new although it has been out there in the elements feeding a ton of birds for about six months now. I am glad I bought this, although it is pricey! and I would buy it again. It would make a great present for anyone you know who has a regular feeder and is sick of battling the squirrels.By the way, I spill some seed on the ground for the squirrels - I am not trying to starve them but I don't want them scaring away the birds.UPDATE to review (September 2012): Okay, 3 years later and this thing is going strong. The squirrels have been able to chew a little bit into the paint on the metal top (the damage is not disfiguring, or noticeable from a normal distance) - otherwise this has held up really well, and it's been out there 24 hours a day for over three years now in all weather. I have only had to recharge it once or twice a year (I bring it in overnight and charge with the AC adaptor) - you can tell when it needs charging when you catch the squirrels lying in the perch ring and gorging themselves 🙂 I have had cardinals, house finches, very pretty goldfinches, and a few red-bellied woodpeckers.Summary - this was a really satisfying purchase and I recommend it. If I need another feeder I will only buy Droll Yankee = every other feeder I have ever used has fed the squirrels and not the birds.UPDATE to review (July 2015): 5 years of gentle squirrel deterring and it's still working well! It's a bit scarred and scraped up by determined and toothy squirrels, but it works flawlessly. It still needs to be charged only maybe twice or three times a year (as above, I can tell it needs a charge when you see a squirrel lolling in the ring at the bottom gorging LOL - if you pay more attention than I do, you may notice that it needs a charge before the situation gets to that). I have seen the new version of the Flipper, and they have added a thingy at the bottom of the unit so that a clear plastic tray can be added very easily to catch the sunflower seed hulls. I would consider buying another just so I can use one of those with it. Those hulls make a terrible mess.So again - what a terrific purchase. Really, really happy with it. I am bumping my rating from four to five stars bcs seriously? What else works this well for this long without issues? Five stars it is!

Review: This bird feeder is a great. Quality made!My only dislike is that it's on the larger side meaning length and having to find a much larger pole for mounting. Too close to the ground for my liking with my existing pole. Holdes a lot of seeds.

Review: The birds love this feeder and it does hold the weight of a cardinal. It looked somewhat shaky but held it so it did work. I absolutely LOVE the fact that the feeder holds so much seed so that refilling doesn't have to happen so frequently. I think the design is really well thought out...nice job Droll Yankees!
