Droll Yankee's Yankee Flipper YF

The Yankee Flipper is the definitive squirrel proof bird feeder. Birds love to eat from it, but grey squirrels are prevented from eating from

it in a way that will make you smile. The weight activated feeding perch is calibrated to react to a squirrel's weight. When a squirrel steps on the perch, a connection is made with a motor that makes the perch spin, and the squirrel is flipped off the feeder. The metal cap prevents squirrels from reaching seed from the feeder top. An internal baffle design keeps seed flowing freely to the ports. The clear feeder reservoir is made of UV stabilized polycarbonate for long lasting durability without yellowing. The cap and feeder base are green powder coated metal. The motor and batteries are encased to protect them from moisture. Easily turn the feeder on and off with the knob on the battery pack. Hang the Flipper from its looped stainless steel wire for secure hanging and to reduce motion. The unit comes equipped with rechargeable battery unit and a battery charger. The feeder carries a Lifetime Warranty. The warranty on the motor and battery unit is limited. Made in USA.

New Lil Sweety Hummingbird Feeder

Lil Sweety Hummingbird Feeder from Love My Birds

Lil Sweety

The newest hummingbird feeder from Love My Birds is here and available for immediate delivery. Your hummers will love our new Lil Sweety hummingbird feeder, with over 200 bright red facets they won't be able to take their eyes off of it. Just like the larger version making nectar right in the feeder is fast and easy. We found the built in ant moat keeps ants away, and the rasied feeding ports not only keep rain water out, they prevent bees from reaching the nectar too. When bees can't reach the nectar they will move on to other feeders and leave yours alone. The people at Love My Birds stand behind it with a Lifetime Factory Warranty. Everything from Love My Birds is 100% Made in the USA.  You can read more about the Lil Sweety here.

Our Snowman Bird feeder is Hot

Over the years we've had hot holiday gifts.... several years ago it was the Singing Bird Clock (not to change the subject, but they are hot again too). This year it's our little Snowman Feeder that is setting sales records. Not only is he a popular gift, but he's also popular with our birds. We hung one at our store and within 3 minutes our chickadees were on him, feeding ravenously on the black oil sunflower seeds we had just filled him with. Just $20 for anyone on your gift list.

Birdola "Rounds" em up

Birdola the originators of the first wild bird seed cake has  rounded up their product line  with their recent introduction of Stackers.  A new and easier way to offer the birds in your backyard just seeds they want to eat. No fillers, and no undesirable seeds,  just the very best seeds your songbirds desire.

We...or I should say, the songbirds in our backyard had the privilege of field

Birdola Stacker

One of our 'field testers'

testing a number Stackers this last winter. Stackers are round and have a hole thru the middle, sort of like a donut which makes them easy to stack on the center post of Birdola's new feeder.

We hung ours next to another feeder and within minutes we had our first tester, a chickadee. Now normally chickadees grab a seed and fly off to a nearby branch to eat then they return to the feeder repeating  process over and over seemingly expending more energy than they consume . Our chickadee chose a sunflower seed without the shell from a "No Waste"  Stacker and stayed right on the feeder eating till he was full. Within the first hour our Stackers had attracted, cardinals, nuthatches, tuffted titmice, and a downy woodpecker each choosing just the seeds they wanted to eat.

Watch here for the latest news on when Stackers will be available for sale. You can also send us an email  - birdwatcher@birdwatchers.com and you will be one to the first to know when Stackers are available for your songbirds.


Banner

Thank you esigns.com !

We've never done a lot of signage around our store. A few handmade signs along with too many lame ink jet banners (read: tapped together 8 1/2" X 11" sheets of printer paper).  A custom professional banner was simply out of our league and more than our checking account could manage. Last October we held our 15th Annual Fall Seed Sale, and to celebrate the fact that our business had survived 15 years, Debbie wanted a nice sign (read: not another one of my tapped together banners ).

Thanks to esigns.com, googling 'banner' and choosing which sign company to order from was the hardest part of the whole process.

Oh,... and our Fall Seed Sale?

A huge success!
