The Twirl-a-Squirrel™ Story:
Pat Marshall, owner of
BirdQuest™ and inventor of the Twirl-a-Squirrel™ Electronic Bird Feeder Baffle,
relates the story of how the idea for Twirl-a-Squirrel™ came to be:
"I was sitting in my
kitchen one day watching the birds eating when I noticed that I could not
see the birds on the opposite side of the feeder. I tried to move from one
window to another to get a glimpse at the birds but was frustrated in that I
could not figure out what kinds of birds they were! That is when I thought of
the initial version of the 'Twirl-a-Squirrel™' invention! Except this version
would be for rotating birds very slowly.
"So about a week later
I had a crude prototype made that had a wire that went from the top of the
feeder to an on/off switch inside my house. Then when birds landed I
turned the on/off switch on and was pleasantly surprised to see that at certain
RPMs, the birds did not mind at all the rotating bird feeders. In fact I think
they liked it more since now they too could see 360 degrees around them, which
was great for looking out for predators like house cats trying
to sneak up on the feeding birds.
"Well one day, while I
was testing my new invention, a squirrel jumped on the feeder, which of
course scared away all of the birds. This was when I asked myself, 'If I
rotated the hanging feeder fast enough, would the squirrel want to jump off?'
So I took my prototype down, made some minor modifications to the gearbox and
motor and hung it back up again the next day. This time when a squirrel jumped
on, I turned the 'high-speed' switch on and was so excited to see that my new
invention 'Twirl-a-Squirrel™' worked fantastic! The squirrel did indeed get
dizzy after about five seconds of riding the 'merry-go-round' feeder. As the
days went by, it was even more fun watching the squirrels all try to defeat
this invention. Of course they never did!"
- Universal - use with all
hanging feeders up to 10 lbs.
- Lets consumers use feeders
they already own.
- Economical - retails for
33%-50% less than most other anti-squirrel devices.
- Safe - does not harm birds
or squirrels.
- Durable -
weather-resistant PVC.
- Easy to use - no assembly
required.
- No need to purchase
"special batteries" - operates on three standard "D" size
batteries (batteries not included).

motor fatigue.
- Any of the BirdQuest™

News from BirdQuest™
BirdQuest™ Twirl-a-Squirrel™
wins
"Best New Product" at Bird Watch America Show!
At the 2004 Bird Watch
America more than 45 manufacturers entered products to
compete for "Best New Product of 2004". After the dust settled and
the votes from the more than 1,000 retailers in attendance were counted, the
Twirl-a-Squirrel™ from BirdQuest™, LLC was named "Best New Product of the
Year".
On hearing the announcement,
Pat Marshall, the inventor of Twirl-a-Squirrel™ and owner of BirdQuest™,
commented, "We appreciate very much the excitement and enthusiasm…over
Twirl-a-Squirrel™. We felt that backyard bird feeders needed a device that
would make 'any' bird feeder (up to 10 pounds) squirrel proof and retail for
less than $50."
Marshall continued, "We were also extremely pleased
about the positive reception and orders for our newly-redesigned Spiral Feeders
which we also introduced at the show."
When asked to describe his
newest product, Mr. Marshall replied, "Twirl-a-Squirrel™ is just what is
needed right now to put the fun and excitement back into backyard bird
watching! Even the most stubborn rodent can't beat this battery-operated electronic
bird feeder baffle. Just picture the surprise of a squirrel that climbs down or
jumps onto your feeder. A tiny computer inside will sense the rodent and
activate a motor which starts rotating the hanging feeder and, ... 'the
startled squirrel!' He will try to hang on in vain but only for seconds before
he becomes too dizzy and finally gives up. Twirl-a-Squirrel™ is definitely
hilarious to watch and safe for both the squirrels and the birds. And the best
part of this product is that you can use it over and over again with any of
your bird feeders or suet holders."
The Twirl-a-Squirrel™ is
covered by three issued
U.S. patents (5,686,101, 6,363,891 and 6,655,319) with
other patents pending. The Spiral Feeders introduced by BirdQuest™ feature
several patented features, including a spiral that attracts more birds and
allows more birds to feed. The feeders also have locking lids and a new,
patent-pending "Easy Clean" and "Flip and Fill™" bottom.
This was an attractive feature praised by those who saw these Spiral Feeders at
the Bird Watch Trade Show.
Our goal at BirdQuest™ is to
provide unique patented products that help meet the needs of the backyard
nature enthusiast.
