Product Review: The Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder

During one of my frequent travels to Franklin TN we visited the local True Value Hardware store Harpeth True Value Homecenter.  We saw two products that caught our attention.  One was the Yankee Flipper Squirrel Feeder.

We were simply amazed by the video that was playing continually beside the product.  It was so funny.

The official Yankee Flipper video can be seen here.

We never laughed so hard watching hungry Squirrels getting flipped off this well built feeder.

The feeder is constructed quite well.  The birds really enjoy.  It is being emptied at least twice at week.   The feeder is placed at a private residence that adjoins  one of the area’s most respected birding locations John James Audubon State Park.  The park is a bird sanctuary.

We positioned the feeder in two different locations trying to get a glimpse of them trying to eat from the feeder.  We have had the feeder up in place since April 1, 2009.  We have never been able to catch a squirrel on the feeder.  Disappointing.

We think possibly that the squirrel has been flipped off of the feeder when we were not looking.  Several times the squirrel has been seen looking up at the feeder thinking about making a move on it but does not.  Again, disappointing.

The birds however have really been enjoying the Black Oil Sunflower seed.

One thing for sure is the people at Droll Yankees did a great job creating a hilarious video that made us buy the product.

If you are looking for a bird feeder that is squirrel proof this is the one!  If you are looking for a bird feeder with some entertainment value, this is NOT the product!  This feeder works too good for the squirrels in this neighborhood.  They are very smart squirrels.

Buy your Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Feeder.

What do you do to keep pesky squirrels off of your bird feeder?

Do you have a Yankee Flipper?  If so how are you getting the squirrels to play on it like the video show?
