Product Description

The Yankee Whipper features collapsible mechanical perch rods that are weight-activated using a patented Droll Yankees design. The curved perches attract a wide variety of birds including cardinals, but squirrels on the perches cause them to collapse. The perch re-sets automatically after the squirrel slips off. 21-Inches long tubular feeder with five pound seed capacity. Sturdy stainless steel wire hanger will not rust. Metal cap fits snugly so that squirrels cannot pry it off. 4.5-Inches diameter seed tube is made of UV stabilized polycarbonate for durability. 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 beautiful evening blue finish.

Customer Reviews

Squirrel loves it
This is a well built feeder but it doesn't keep all squirrels from eating at it. We have one pesky critter that gets each of his four paws on a separate perch and as they lower it places his face right at the opening so he can just hang there and eat. It IS entertaining, I'll admit, but not what you'd expect from a unit made to prevent squirrels and heavy birds from eating at it!

absolutely the best out there
I have had this one for over a year and bought another one. It took the cardnals a while to figure it out but they finally feed at it. Anything bigger than the cardinal and they fall off. I can't believe how much bird seeds I am saving just by not having those squirrels making a pig out of themselves. This is truly worth every penny. It holds 5 lbs. of seeds so you are not making numerous trips out there and I can't believe the amount of bird traffic that I have out there. This is truly a great investment.

UPDATE:09/20/2009
Still working like a charm. NO SQUIRRELS! I ended up buying another one so now i have 2.

Another squirrel chaser.
This feeder gives anything over five ounces or so a rude surprise. Step on one of the feeder platforms and it immediately collapses. Highly shocking to squirrels, and even to crows, etc. Very clever feeder.
