Why become a member?
NATIONAL CONSUMER RESEARCH
Which age or income group purchases the most feed? Which feed is purchased most frequently? Does this vary by region or season? WBFI members have exclusive access to industry information that answers these questions, and more!
INDUSTRY STANDARDS
WBFI Standards have been adopted for feed and products. The Quality Standards seal assures consumers the product they purchase meets a standard of quality. National promotion of this program benefits WBFI members and consumers by ensuring a positive feeding experience and return sales.
MEMBER EXCLUSIVE EVENTS
The Wild Bird Feeding Institute members have access to exclusive online events - and the annual meeting this year is open to non-members to join the only event that serves those that work in the wild bird food industry.
