Editorial Review: Product Description: Collapsible perch feeder features 4 metal perches that collapse under the weight of nuisance birds or red and grey squirrels. Powder coated cap and base are burgundy in color. Interior baffle design allows seed to flow freely to seed ports. Cap slides up Amazon.com Review: With cheerful songs and gentle grace, birds bring charm and enrich the natural environment of most every yard. While plants, flowers, and bird feeders provide food for our feathered friends, smaller birds must compete with pesky squirrels and large nuisance birds, for a bite of birdseed. To encourage these small, feathered friends, the ornithological-minded folks at Droll Yankees created this Dipper bird feeder. The feeder holds seed in a slender tube that greedy squirrel paws struggle to grasp while the tube is extra long to prevent squirrels from hanging down from an above perch to wrest seed from the feeding ports. Smaller birds like cardinals, finches, chickadees, nuthatches, and woodpeckers dine comfortably on a special perch that will collapse from the weight of a bothersome crow or starling, virtually pulling the chair out from underneath these pests. Thoughtfully designed, the feeder hangs from stainless-steel wire, bail-looped to limit mobility. The durable die-cast metal cap and feeder base assist in keeping seed secure. The easy-to- fill, UV-stabilized polycarbonate tube resists coloring while holding up to 5 pounds of birdseed. Inner baffling ensures steady seed distribution while four feeding ports control seed flow as needed. Users should regularly clean the feeder with equal parts water and white vinegar to protect the birds from bacteria and disease. Wet or moldy food often host for such germs and should be discharged. Do not use chemicals on the bird feeder. For the best results, hang the bird feeder near trees and bushes rather than in the open. Droll Yankees offers a lifetime warranty for defective parts, workmanship, or excessive squirrel damage. The feeder is 21 inches long with a 4-3/4-inch diameter and weighs 11 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling Average Rating:
 Rating:  - It's red squirrel proof!This feeder is truly red squirrel-proof! Most squirrel-proof feeders can keep the grey squirrels from the bird seed, but the red squirrels are the true enemy. This is the first feeder I have owned that can keep the red squirrels away from the seed. I have had it since mid-June, it's now mid-August. The red squirrels try very hard to hang onto the feeder and/or the perches, but they can't do it. They even tried to chew through the top lid but all they did was scratch the coating. On top of this, the ... Read More Rating:  - Yankee Dipper Really WorksThe Yankee Dipper Feeder has saved us from the Poor House. Grackles and red-winged blackbirds were eating us out of house and home. The sunflower seeds disappeared in hours. This feeder truly does dump off the heavy, piggy birds. Consumption of seeds is reduced, and it's entertaining to watch the big birds slipping and sliding on the perches, not to mention the squirrels! Seed management makes this feeder well worth the investment. Rating: - Absolutely as advertisedI've waited a year to write this review (purchased this in Feb 2007) because I wanted to be sure that this feeder was truly the answer to our squirrel problems. We've certainly had squirrels make well-choreographed attempts at this feeder but, in this past year, we have not seen a single success. Another big plus for us is how well this feeder has fared in the tough Wyoming winters. It isn't just the snow; we have extremes in day/night temperatures with relentless wind and the feeder has been out ... Read More Rating: - Excellent feeder even if pretty expensiveIt's hard to imagine that ANY feeder is totally squirrel proof. They seem to grow fifty foot long arms anytime they're near a feeder and they seem to be able to figure out just about anything. I recommend this feeder because it's one that large birds can't stay on---anything larger than a cardinal just basically falls off the perch because each perch is spring-loaded. So, if you're bothered by bigger birds taking over your feeders, this is a good choice. In fact, it's worth the price just to see ... Read More Rating: - droll yankee truly lived up to its word of 'squirrel proof'...I've gone through numerous of bird feeders in my lifetime and i am just tired of the squirrels eating the seeds and chewing on the feeders. I gave up a few years back then realized how much i really miss watching the birds. So I decided there has got to be a "real" squirrel proof feeder. I saw this one and told myself that if i saw one darn squirrel on this or even a blue jay, it was going back to the retailer and i'm getting my money back. I've had it 2 years and NOT ONE DARN SQUIRREL!!!! Not only ... Read More |
