Heritage & History
Droll Yankees was founded in 1969 in Plainfield, Connecticut, where the company invented the tubular bird feeder — a design so effective and elegant that it became the template for the entire category. Before Droll Yankees, bird feeders were mostly platform and hopper designs; the tubular feeder's multiple ports, clear visibility of seed level, and ease of cleaning transformed backyard bird feeding into a practical hobby for millions of Americans.
The company has operated continuously in Connecticut for over 55 years, surviving the broader hollowing out of American manufacturing by building products whose quality and innovation commanded a price premium that made domestic production sustainable. The Droll Yankees name — a nod to New England's reputation for Yankee ingenuity and craftsmanship — captures the brand's character perfectly.
Made in Plainfield, Connecticut
Droll Yankees manufactures its bird feeders in Plainfield, Connecticut, where the company has been based since founding. Connecticut has a centuries-long tradition of precision manufacturing — from Colonial-era clockmaking to 20th-century aerospace components — and Droll Yankees carries that tradition forward in the surprisingly demanding world of bird feeder production.
A quality bird feeder must withstand year-round outdoor exposure, resist squirrels who are both clever and persistent, hold seed securely against rain and humidity, and clean easily to prevent mold. Droll Yankees has engineered solutions to all of these problems over five decades, producing feeders in a range of styles — tube, hopper, suet, and platform — all made by American hands in Connecticut.
