The saying goes that there’s no such thing as a true squirrel-proof feeder because no matter what you do, those pesky rodents will always find a way to eat all your bird food.
The Yankee Whipper from Droll Yankees begs to differ.
This week’s featured product is one of our best-selling items here at Backyard Chirper due to the fact that it does a fantastic job stopping hungry squirrels from raiding your feeders.
The Yankee Whipper Squirrel Proof Feeder features a simple design with four ports and a UV stabilized polycarbonate tube that holds five pounds of seeds. But the real magic comes in the perch.
The unique curved perches on the feeder are delicately calibrated to hold the weight of a bird up to the size of a Northern Cardinal. If anything heavier tries hang on, the perches will give way and drop the invader to the ground.
An addtional advantage of the Yankee Whipper is that it keeps out larger unwanted species like invasive blackbirds.
Although the feeder may seem simple, the design cleverly fends off squirrels without complicating things. Thanks to the emphasis on craftsmanship and durable materials, this feeder will be stopping squirrels in their tracks for years to come.
