Welcome to Chill With Birds.
We believe that honesty, clarity, and trust are the foundations of any strong relationship between a website and its readers. This Disclosure Page explains how our website operates, how we may generate income, and how we handle endorsements, recommendations, and sponsored content.

Our goal is to make sure you always know who we are, what we stand for, and how our content is produced. Whether you’re reading an article about bird feeding, watching a video about pet bird care, or clicking a link to purchase bird-related products, you should feel confident that the information is accurate and that our intentions are clear.

Purpose of This Disclosure

Transparency matters.
This disclosure serves to:

• Inform you about affiliate links and possible commissions.

• Explain how we handle sponsored posts and product reviews.

• Describe our content creation process.

• Clarify the limits of our responsibility for third-party content or products.

• Comply with the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) guidelines and other applicable regulations worldwide.

Who We Are

ChillWithBirds is an educational and informational website dedicated to:

• Bird Behavior – Understanding and interpreting the actions, sounds, and movements of various bird species.

• Bird Feeding – Providing guidance on feeders, seed types, and seasonal feeding practices.

• Bird Habitats – Helping readers create safe, resource-rich environments for wild and backyard birds.

• Pet Birds – Offering advice on care, nutrition, enrichment, and health for domesticated birds.

Our content is a blend of expert knowledge, personal experience, and thorough research from reliable sources such as ornithology publications, bird welfare organizations, and environmental studies.

Income Sources

To keep ChillWithBirds running — including paying for website hosting, research materials, photography, and the countless hours spent producing content — we may generate income in the following ways:

1. Affiliate Links

We sometimes include affiliate links within our articles, reviews, or resource pages. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

• These commissions help us maintain and grow the website.

• We only link to products, tools, or services that we believe can genuinely benefit our readers and that meet our ethical and quality standards.

• Common affiliate programs we may use include Amazon Associates, bird-supply retailers, and pet care product companies.

Example: If we recommend a bird feeder and link to it on Amazon, purchasing it through our link might earn us a commission.

2. Sponsored Content

From time to time, companies may approach us to feature their products, services, or events. When we agree to do so, the following rules apply:

• Sponsored posts will be clearly marked at the beginning of the article (e.g., “This is a sponsored post in partnership with XYZ Bird Feeders”).

• We only accept sponsored content from brands that align with our mission of promoting safe, ethical, and environmentally responsible bird care.

• We reserve the right to refuse sponsorship if we believe the product or service is harmful to birds, their habitats, or the environment.

3. Product Reviews

We may review products such as bird feeders, cages, seeds, habitat tools, or pet bird toys. Reviews are handled as follows:

• If a company sends us a product for free to test, we will clearly state this in the review.

• Receiving a free product does not guarantee a positive review. Our assessments are based on performance, safety, and value.

• We aim to test products thoroughly before publishing a review.

• Negative findings will be reported honestly, even if it might affect affiliate earnings or relationships with companies.

4. Advertising

We may display third-party ads on ChillWithBirds through services such as Google AdSense or similar networks.

• These ads may be based on your browsing history (contextual or interest-based advertising).

• We do not control the specific products or services displayed through these ad networks.

• Clicking on these ads may result in income for us, but it does not mean we personally endorse the advertised products.

Our Commitment to Accuracy and Integrity

We understand that our readers rely on us for trustworthy and factual bird-related information. Therefore:

• Every piece of content is researched from credible sources (scientific journals, reputable bird organizations, expert interviews, etc.).

• Where possible, we cite references or link to official resources.

• We update older posts when new, relevant information becomes available.

However:
We cannot guarantee that all information will remain accurate forever — especially in rapidly evolving areas such as veterinary guidelines or environmental laws.

Medical and Veterinary Disclaimer

While ChillWithBirds provides information on bird health, nutrition, and care:

• We are not veterinarians.

• Our content is for educational purposes only and should not replace professional veterinary advice.

• Always consult a qualified avian vet before making decisions about your pet bird’s health, diet, or medical treatment.

Wildlife and Environmental Responsibility

We encourage responsible birdwatching, feeding, and habitat creation.

• We do not support illegal capture or trade of wild birds.

• We promote practices that protect local ecosystems and biodiversity.

• Any advice we give is intended to minimize harm to both birds and their environments.
