Get The Best -- Once and For All!
STUPID IDEA: Spend $20 on a cheapo feeder at Target, then when it breaks, spend another $20 at the hardware store. Then watch that one get chewed up by squirrels. Time to buy another replacement.
SMART IDEA: Buy a great and truly squirrel-proof feeder made to last!
Buy the Yankee Whipper feeder and attract some neat birds with no hassles! I took this picture of a rose-breasted grosbeak at my Whipper.
The Top Five Reasons is the Best Birdfeeder
- Holds the most popular bird seed -- sunflower seeds. And perches are long enough for small birds (chickadees) as well as larger ones (cardinals).
- Because of their brilliant design, you can hang them nearly anywhere. Even squirrels jumping up from the ground are thwarted!
- The perches collapse if anything heavier than a bird comes to eat. This saves you seed!
- Lifetime guarantee on all Droll Yankees feeders.
- Large capacity, so you only fill them once in a while.
