Product Description

The Yankee Dipper features collapsible mechanical perches that are weight-activated using a patented Droll Yankees design. Small birds can perch and eat, but large birds and squirrels on the perches cause them to collapse. They re-set automatically. 21" long tubular feeder with 5 lb seed capacity. Sturdy stainless steel wire hanger will not rust. Metal cap fits snugly so that squirrels cannot pry it off. 4-1/2" 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 burgundy finish.

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
