I've often thought about getting one those flippers but I'm afraid my dog would view it as some kind of a squirrel 'skit shoot' contraption!!! .. lol
I recently bought one, but it isn't really in a location where I can watch it all the time. Also, the squirrels, for the time being, don't seem to be bothering the feeders in front too much. I do, however, plan to get a deck mount and arm and hang it off the back porch, where I expect it will be quite amusing. I have to say that I'm very impressed with the quality of the feeder itself though, and I expect I will buy more Droll Yankee products.
