Corrections and questions are genuinely welcome. Sales pitches are less so.

Please put the page URL in the subject line if you are writing about a specific guide. It makes corrections much faster to act on.

What we are glad to hear about#

  • Corrections. A wrong measurement, an outdated disease recommendation, a species range that has shifted, a broken link. These get priority, and substantive fixes are made promptly with the page's update date changed. See the editorial policy.
  • Gaps. If you searched for something on backyard bird feeding and this site did not answer it, that is useful information. Tell us what you were trying to find out.
  • Questions we have not answered. We cannot reply to every message, but recurring questions become FAQ entries and sometimes whole guides.

What we cannot help with#

  • Injured or orphaned birds. We are not a wildlife rehabilitation service and cannot advise on a bird in distress. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your state or province; a local Audubon chapter or your state wildlife agency can point you to one. Our sick bird at the feeder guide explains the immediate steps and who to call.
  • Bird identification from a description. For that, eBird and the Cornell Lab's Merlin Bird ID tool will do a far better job than an email exchange. Our bird profiles cover the common feeder species and the birds they get confused with.
  • Product recommendations by brand. We do not review or rank products, for the reasons set out in the editorial policy. Our buying guides give you the criteria to judge any model yourself.

How to write a correction we can act on fast#

The most useful correction messages have three things in them, and they take about a minute to write:

  1. The page URL, so we are not guessing which of two hundred guides you mean.
  2. The exact sentence you think is wrong, copied and pasted.
  3. What it should say, and ideally where that comes from. "The entrance hole for Eastern bluebirds should be 1 1/2 inches, per NestWatch" is instantly actionable. "Your bluebird page is wrong" takes a lot longer to resolve.

We do not need you to be an expert. Plenty of the best corrections come from people who simply noticed that a bird described as absent from their state is sitting on their feeder right now. Regional detail is exactly where a site written for a whole continent gets things wrong, and local knowledge is genuinely valuable to us.

Response times, honestly#

This is a small operation. Corrections are read and acted on quickly because they affect other readers. General questions are read but may not get an individual reply, and questions that recur end up answered publicly, either as an FAQ on the relevant guide or as a new page, which helps far more people than an email would.

If you have written about something urgent involving a bird's welfare, please do not wait on us. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator directly.

We do not accept sponsored content, paid guest articles, or paid link placements, and we do not respond to outreach about them. Display advertising on the site is handled through an ad network, not through direct sales.
