Birds love it and so do IDate: 2008-12-04 Rating: 10 out of 10I have been a bird watcher and feeder for 16 years. This is the best feeder I have ever found to truly keep the squirrels out of the feeder and on the ground where they belong. It holds a lot of seed so we don't have to constantly refill it. We live in the NW where it rains a lot but the seed stays dry. And every morning the birds flock to it, mostly chickadees, finches, nuthatches, and pine siskins. We use an S hook to hang it from a tree limb, so it is easy to access. It is great!

Bewertungenspills seeds, not entertaining, not really worth itDatum 2008-10-18 Rang: 4 von 10This design has no tray to stop seeds from falling to the ground. I have watched small birds knock 5 sunflower seeds to the ground, eat one, knock 5 to the ground, eat one, etc. The squirrels are getting more seeds now from the ground than from our old feeder that they would occasionally jump to.
I have twice seen the feeder swinging wildly no doubt from a squirrel, but have never actually seen a squirrel on it, so don't expect any entertainment like shown on the video. Very poor, expensive birdfeeder choice.Datum 2008-09-28 Rang: 2 von 10I recently purchased the Yankee Flipper from a local English Gardens store. First of all I'd like to say I'm an avid birder. First, this birdfeeder might be appealing to the eyes. A beautiful droll yankees, 5 pound capacity tube feeder. Then come the problems. There has been a lot of Mourning Doves, and Pigeons being able to sit on the perch ring, and they belong on the ground. They take up too much room and no other birds can feed. Squirrels can sit on it too once the battery is dead. Secondly, the very, very poor way this feeder was designed. Supposedly, "the seed flows freely to the four feeder ports." Well, it doesn't. It gets stuck in there time and time again. You have to bang on the feeder to get it to unclump and go down into the ports. Another thing about the feeder ports is that the seed gets WET and soggy. And thirdly, it was very poorly designed once again, with the choice of a battery. Come on, a battery? The battery stops working after about 2 days. What kind of bird feeder have you ever heard of that you have to recharge? And last of all, the birds don't even really seem to like it.
So, in conclusion, if you want a really good not only a Squirrel-Proof feeder but a quality working feeder also, don't buy the Yankee Flipper. Go out and buy a Squirrel Buster Plus. It's cheaper than the flipper, designed better and works better in just about every way.Feh - unpopular with cardinals - dumps seed...Datum 2008-09-06 Rang: 2 von 10I don't know about this feeder - seems I'm now roaring through even more seed, with tons of pigeons, squirrels underneath the feeder (not on it though - suddenly 6 or 8 inches of seed will disappear - I think it dumps seed on the ground with the wind.
Also, my cardinals and other bright and interesting birds, don't appear to like the feeder. Small sparrows, pigeons and squirrels love it. Maybe I'll go back to having a squirrel acrobatically nabbing food, but use less seed, and get my pretty birds back...great feederDatum 2008-09-01 Rang: 8 von 10I am delighted with this bird feeder. My Mother has had one for years with great success.I have not seen any squirrels eating at mine and it has been filled a week and is only half empty. The birds are waiting in line to eat at it. I even saw a pretty big woodpecker at it yesterday. I was afraid he would get flipped but he ate at ease if upside down style ala woodpecker. It is great to have the birds and not have to fill up the feeded every other day. My indoor cat appreciates it too!
