The Droll Yankees Yankee Flipper Powerstick Replacement can be purchased separately.
I can't get my power stick to come loose. What am I doing wrong? How do I get it out to charge?

Charging: Follow steps; Disassemble #1 and #2, and Assemble #5
1. Check the black activation switch, which is located on the base assembly, is in the “OFF” position.
2. Disengage the base of the feeder by first placing the base in the palm of your right hand with the black activation switch facing you, while firmly holding the lower section of the tube with your left hand. Insert fingers upward through perch ring spokes and grasp the base assembly (like a small ball) firmly with your fingers, placing your thumb against the right side of the black activation switch for leverage, and twist counter clockwise (viewed from the bottom) approximately ½”. You will feel a distinct click and then lower the base which will separate from beneath the port.
5. Remove the bail rod by laying the tube on a flat surface with the bail rod parallel to the table/floor. Apply pressure to the top of the tube until it becomes oval/oblong in shape to free one side of the bail rod. Reach inside the tube and shimmy the other end of the bail rod out of its hole.
Will the spinner be activated for something the weight of a chipmunk? In other words, will pesky animals lighter than squirrels also be spun off?
Answer by • Jul 28, 2020
Chipmunks weigh less than squirrels, and since the Yankee Flipper is designed to thwart squirrels, sometimes the not-as-heavy chipmunks can access the feeder without activating the perch ring flipping feature.
I understand how the spinner at the bottom of the feeder works to repel squirrels, but can't they climb on from the top and get at the seed?
Answer by • May 21, 2018
This feeder immediately spins when a squirrel lands on the perch to gently throw the intruder off. The feeder is too long and slippery for squirrels to climb to get to the seed ports.
