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.

Summary: Happy with purchase.
Comment: I bought this feeder because the individual perches allow several birds to feed at one time. No cumulative weights. It took two - three weeks for the birds to adjust to it. The cardinals do not seem to like it that much but they will feed from it. The springs in the feeding arms make a tapping noise when the cardinals fly off. This does not happen with the smaller birds. It is fun to watch squirrels, dove, and blue jays drop off the perches when they release. The large tube is great for being away for a day or two.

Summary: It really works
Comment: This bird feeder really does foil the squirrels. I have replaced all the feeders that the squirrels have destroyed with this one!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Unfortunately, grackles love it
Comment: I purchased this feeder because the grackles were emptying my other feeder in an afternoon. I hoped they'd be heavy enough to tip these perches, and thus be unable to empty the buffet. Well, the perches DO dip under their weight, but the curve makes them easy to hold on to, and the grackles end up at perfect feeding height.

If anything, this feeder attracted MORE grackles than my previous feeder that just had the little stick perches.

The feeder seems well-made, and may or may not prove a challenge for squirrels. However, in my experience, "nuisance" birds like grackles perfer it to traditional feeders.

Summary: Large seed tube, great quality product.
Comment: There is not much to say about this other than it's a high quality product and should last years longer than cheaper feeders.

Summary: Squirrel loves it
Comment: 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!
