Droll Yankees Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer that designs and produces bird feeders and related birding accessories. Based in Plainfield, Connecticut, the company traces its origins to 1969 when Peter Kilham introduced the first commercially produced feeder, a development that helped set a standard in the market. The firm sources most of its components from domestic manufacturers, and its feeders are known for sturdy construction and a straightforward, functional design that has appealed to generations of backyard birders. Its customers are backyard birders and birding enthusiasts who value reliable, easy-to-use feeders. The business operates as a small American manufacturer in the wild bird feeding space, with origins rooted in a Rhode Island record label begun in 1960 and Kilham's 1969 feeder invention, and it broadened its lineup in 2017 with the Window Hook accessory.
