Affiliate disclosure

As an Amazon Associate, YardBirdHQ earns from qualifying purchases. When you click a "Check price" button or a product link on this site and then buy something, we may receive a commission from the retailer. You pay the same price either way.

What this funds

Commissions pay for maintaining the species and gear databases, the field-guide entries, and the free comparison tools. There are no sponsored placements, no paid reviews, and no manufacturer relationships that touch editorial output.

What this never changes

YardScores, species entries, and verdicts are written from the databases with documented weights before affiliate links are attached. A smart feeder whose AI features need a subscription keeps its berry chip; gear that scores poorly keeps its poor score — we link to it anyway so you can check pricing yourself.

How links are marked

Affiliate links route through /go/ on this domain and carry rel="nofollow sponsored". Every page containing them displays a disclosure notice above the first link, per FTC guidance (16 CFR Part 255).
