Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

The Short Version

Some links on this website are affiliate links. When you click them and make a purchase, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps me keep the blog running and continue providing free content.

Full Disclosure Statement

WBF. (this website) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means that if you click on a link to a product on Amazon and make a purchase, I receive a small percentage of the sale. This does not affect the price you pay—you pay the same price whether you use my link or not.

What This Means For You

No extra cost: Clicking my affiliate links and making a purchase costs you nothing extra. You pay the same price as if you went directly to Amazon.
Supports the blog: The small commissions I earn help cover hosting costs, product testing expenses, and the time I invest in creating helpful content.
Honest recommendations: I only recommend products I have personally tested or thoroughly researched. I never recommend products just because they pay higher commissions.

My Promise To You

✓ I never accept payment for reviews. No company can pay me to write a positive review. My opinions are always my own.
✓ I disclose affiliate relationships. I clearly mark affiliate links and include disclosure notices on pages with affiliate content.
✓ I share negatives too. If a product has flaws, I'll tell you about them. I provide balanced, honest reviews.
✓ I test products personally. The products I recommend are ones I've actually used and tested in my own backyard over 25+ years.
✓ Your trust comes first. I value your trust more than any commission. I will never mislead you to make money.

How I Choose Products to Recommend

My product recommendations are based on:

Personal testing: I use products in my own backyard bird feeding station before recommending them.
Quality and durability: I prioritize products that are well-made and will last for years.
Value for money: I consider whether a product is worth its price point.
Customer reviews: I consider what other buyers have experienced.
Bird-friendliness: I only recommend products that are safe and beneficial for birds.

I do NOT base my recommendations on:

Commission rates (I don't pick products just because they pay more)
Payments from manufacturers
Free products sent for review (I purchase most products myself)

Types of Affiliate Relationships

Currently, I participate in the following affiliate programs:

Amazon Associates: Most product links on this site go to Amazon.com

I may add additional affiliate relationships in the future. This page will be updated accordingly.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
