Description
Offer seed to several bird varieties with this Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. This fantastically popular feeder perfectly holds plenty of mixed seed for your feathered friends. The lengthy, UV stabilized reservoir holds 3.33 quarts of mixed seed, with 4 ports and a perch ring at its base. This ring has a battery powered rotation that reacts to the weight of a gray squirrel, providing you hours of interesting activity. Once a large squirrel or bird puts its full weight on the perch, an internal motor rotates it, which assists the animal in exiting the feeder. The hardy, die cast metal construction of this base and perch ring matches that of the cap, and the deep green, powder coated finish adds longevity. The snug cap keeps the seed protected from rain, and the powerstick inside the reservoir acts as a diverter, directing feed to the ports. The extra long feeding tube also prevents squirrels from hanging on the lid and grabbing seed, and the clear polycarbonate body keeps feed levels visible. An on/off switch at the base of the unit allows you to operate it only when desired, and an included AC adapter makes recharging the mechanism simple. This multitude of features has made the Yankee Flipper a classic, durable, and favorite addition to bird gardens everywhere. A robust looped, stainless steel top wire makes hanging the piece simple, offering stability and security. Discourage squirrels from dining while adding some fun to your backyard with the Yankee Flipper Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. Two year limited warranty on feeder. One year limited warranty on motor and battery.
The Yankee Flipper works well to prevent access by grey squirrels; however, red squirrels and chipmunks are not heavy enough to activate the perch ring. If red squirrels are coming to your feeders, we suggest the Yankee Whipper or Yankee Dipper.

Been wanting one of these for some time and finally got it as a birthday gift. Love it, funny to watch the squirrels try and get at the bird feed. Now, the only down side, once it stopped I took it inside to charge and nothing happened. I charged it for 14hrs and it still doesn’t work. Had it six-months so if it’s a battery issue that would be disappointing. Since there is no battery charge indicator it’s hard to tell if it’s the charger or battery.
