Roller Feeder Squirrel-Proof Bird Feeder Review
The Roller Feeder is a very ingenious design for a squirrel-proof bird feeder. The outer shell spins under the weight of
the squirrel while the inner chamber stays stationery so that no seeds are spilled. The squirrel is dumped the ground every time.
And since there are no batteries to recharge and replace, this makes the roller feeder an excellent choice. It works very effectively with very little maintenance.
It has another advantage over some of the other squirrel-proof bird feeders such as the Droll Yankee Flipper: the weight calibration can be adjusted. This means that you can set it to keep out the heavier birds such as starlings.
As with the Droll Yankee Flipper, a mechanical action of any kind involves moving parts, which means a freezing rain may prevent the Roller Feeder from rolling.
However, for the most part, this feeder works exceptionally well.
If you do purchase the Roller Feeder, hang it where the squirrel cannot be injured when he falls. Over level ground should be fine.
Here are some online places to find it:
