I was wondering why the battery in my Droll Yankee Flipper "squirrel-proof" bird feeder kept getting run down. Now I know. This guy just keeps coming back until he's eaten his fill!

  • I'm liking the Brome Squirrel Buster II, Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder. It's usually available on eBay. It was a pain to originally set up but now it's easy to refill and it really does frustrate squirrels. As soon as a squirrel jumps on the perch bar it clamps down and bars access to the food. So far no squirrel has been able to defeat it.

  • yeah but have any squirrels/bigger birds jumped on while a smaller bird was feeding and clamped down the port and crushed his head? - i've heard of that happening

  • You're commenting on the Brome. Sounds like an urban legend. I've never seen and can't imagine this happening. When a large bird or squirrel is anywhere near the small birds take off.

  • How is it staying on there? I was wanting to get one of those.

  • Small red squirrels and chipmunks have no problem at all defeating this feeder but most grey squirrels get spun off once or twice and give up. This grey Squirrel didn't give up. He learned through trial and error how to stay on without being spun off.

  • Can you add a metal peg sticking up an inch or two from the spinning ring? It seems like that would bump into the squirrel and knock him off.

  • Good video. I'm sure my squirrels would figure this out too. Thank you for just saving me $100!

  • RollerFeeder is the only feeder I've used that is 100% squirrel proof - I found it here rollerfeederCOM good luck

  • @earl6282 They eat too much. They will empty one of these feeders in less than a day. They tear all the stuffing out of our patio furniture. They chew holes in our garden hoses in spite of multiple water sources just feet away. They dig up all my wife's plants just because they like digging. They don't even eat the plants they dig up. They get in our attic and rip it apart. I am going to get one of these anyway and hope the pit bull gets them before they have a chance to figure it out.

  • Dinner AND a butt massage? That squirrel's got it made.

  • @mpekar1945 I had one similar to the Brome, the squirrels hanged upside down on it to pick seeds from the bottom, and eventually wore out the spring so it is was always closed.

  • @earl6282 Many birds won't feed at a feeder that squirrels come to. Ours in particular, as soon as squirrels start feeding at it regularly the cardinals and finches stop coming entirely.

  • There is no such thing as Squirrel Proof! They will find a way...
