Prevent large birds and squirrels from eating all your bird food. You save money on seed when you use a Yankee Dipper bird feeder. The Yankee Dipper bird feeder has specially calibrated weight-sensitive perches that collapse under the weight of a squirrel to save your bird seed. The 17 in long clear, UV-stabilized feeder tube has a large 5 lb seed capacity and the heavy-duty metal components will hold up to the elements while resisting squirrel damage. The feeder tube is protected on top by the tightly fitting metal cap that cannot be lifted by invasive squirrels. The cap and base are powder-coated in a beautiful burgundy that compliments any backyard and will not chip or fade with use. Backed by the Droll Yankees lifetime warranty against squirrel damage.
