Thank you for your review and I am glad you are happy with the Droll Yankee Plastic Rain Guard and it`s good to hear you are happy with the way it is packed and the delivery time.
“Speedy delivery and good product. However if you want a squirrel guard/baffle this does not work, the squirrels in my garden just walked straight across it and onto the feeder every time. It may keep a bit of rain off the seed but I'm not sure as it's never there long enough to get wet with the greedy squirrels!”
“Finally, a squirrel guard that actually works! Some birds are messy eaters and drop seed bits that stick to the guard when it is wet (after rain), but it's easy to clean. I've used a caged feeder previously, but smaller squirrels can get their heads through these and have chewed and damaged the feeder, as well as stealing the seed. They tried for a day or two to get past this guard but have now given up. Highly recommended.”
“It keeps thee rain off. Clearly, it is at its most eeffective when the wind is moderate or less. But on balance, buying it seems to have been a good idea from the point of view of the birds. Now, what do you sell to save us from having to watch the local sparrow hawk eating a dead - not sure what, not enough left, might have been a pigeon - outside the kitchen window. I know sparrrow hawks have to do what they do, and I'm a meat eater too. But really, there's a time and a place....”
“This was a replacement for my existing droll yankee which I have had for over 10 years.Reason for replacement was damage by squirrels chewing it !
Highly Recommended product!”
