Droll Yankees® Yankee Whipper® Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder – 5 Lb

Keep squirrels away from your bird feeder and save seed with the Yankee Whipper^® Squirrel-Proof
Bird Feeder. It
allows the birds to eat and saves seed by keeping squirrels away.

Hungry birds will adapt as best they can to the conditions in order to survive and larger birds will
sometimes hang onto the collapsed perch and continue to feed. It is uncomfortable for them and difficult so it
discourages them but might not be the ultimate preventative.

Placement to deter squirrels: The key to keeping a bird feeder successfully squirrel-proofed is
the placement. Place your bird feeder 4 feet from the ground and 8 feet from anything a squirrel can jump from.
When hanging from a pole by a hook, it is recommended that the hook have at least a 16” distance from the pole.
Placing a baffle on the pole or having a caged feeder will also help to ensure squirrel-proof success.

Cleaning: Dirty bird feeders spread disease. We recommend cleaning your feeders weekly, or
monthly at a minimum. Do not put your feeder in the dishwasher as the high temperatures can permanently damage the
feeder parts. Clean your feeders outdoors with a large bucket, and always wear gloves when cleaning. Soak your
feeder in a 9:1 solution of water and bleach for 15 minutes. Then use a bird feeder brush to scrub the feeder with
dish soap and water. Refill when completely dry.
