"Feeders are not an integral habitat component that sustains most birds through winter," emphasized Brauning. "They can be beneficial to a variety of species, but for the most part, feeders offer supplemental foraging opportunities. The exception would be for southern species that have extended their range further north into Pennsylvania, such as cardinals, tufted titmice and Carolina wrens. Hard winter weather could push some of these birds south if they didn't have feeders to lean on during deep freezes and periods of frozen precipitation."

The YANKEE FLIPPER is the definitive squirrel proof bird feeder. Birds love to eat from it, but 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. Thus, the name Yankee Flipper. The unit comes equipped with rechargeable nicad batteries and a battery recharger.

"Safety should always be a consideration when deciding where to place a bird feeder," emphasized Brauning. "After all, we're trying to help birds, not hurt them. So take the time to do it right. Place the feeder near cover, but away from groundcover that would hide an approaching housecat. A feeder ... should be placed no closer than 20 feet to windows. And don't forget to clean them regularly, even during winter.
