Squirrel-proof Bird Feeder Sends Unwelcome Guests Flying
Tired of the neighborhood squirrels chomping down the food you set out to attract birds? The clever little rascals are even good at getting into bird feeders to munch those tasty seeds. Maybe what you need is a squirrel-proof bird feeder such as the Yankee Flipper.
This large (5-pound capacity) tube feeder has a weight-activated device at the base. Birds aren’t heavy enough to set it off, but when a squirrel jumps onto the perch, a little motor spins the base. After a few revolutions around the feeder, the squirrel goes flying into the bushes at a rather high rate of speed (there’s a video on the manufacturer’s site). Watching the squirrels might just become more entertaining than watching the birds. You’ve got to pay $120 for this high-fangled feeder though.
