Product Description

The Yankee Tipper collapsible mechanical feeding tray is weight-activated using a patented Droll Yankees design. Song birds can eat, but a squirrel?s weight on the seed tray causes it to tip down. 21" long tubular feeder with 5 lb seed capacity. Sturdy stainless steel wire hanger will not rust. Metal cap fits snugly so that squirrels cannot pry it off. 4-1/2" diameter seed tube is made of UV stabilized polycarbonate for durability and holds about 4 quarts of seed. Tube is long enough so that squirrels can?t hang down from the top and reach seed. Interior is properly baffled to direct seed to the seed ports. Four seed ports are positioned around the tube. Metal parts have a midnight black finish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not entirely squirrel proof, June 6, 2007

This review is from: Droll Yankees YCPT360 Yankee Tipper Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder (Lawn & Patio)

Squirrels quickly learn to brace themselves against the lip of the tray. As suggested,you can invert the seed tray but my squirrels still find a way to hang on and can feed for a few minutes at a time.

Our previous bird feeder, despite cones and shields on the pole, always had 5 to 8 squirrels -- crowding out the birds. Now we enjoy birds only -- all squirrels have left! Also, the large capacity means I only fill it every 3 to 4 days. I plan to buys another one for a different part of the yard. The only drawback is the price -- a lot to pay for a bird feeder.

This device works as designed. It is very entertaining to watch the squirrels try to figure out a way to get to the seed (they can, but only a few seeds at a time). It works so well that my wife feels sorry for the squirrels and fills a squirrel feeder so they won't starve during the winter.
