At the 2009 WBFI Annual Meeting and at Global Pet Expo, the WBFI Research Foundation demonstrated the Database Query Tool. Using this query system, you can search the 1.1+ million lines of data from PROJECT WILDBIRD® quickly to learn imporant answers you need.

Areas in which your company might use the query tool could be:
» Product design for specific species based on species preference
» Packaged bird feed formulation based on species preference by season and region

Comments? Suggestions? Let us know at WBFI Headquarters and we'll pass the information along to the WBFI Research Foundation.

A slide show of 13 photos can be seen on the Members Only homepage. These photos include views of the people attending the lunch event.

WBFI is pleased to welcome Hiatt Mfg, Winona MN as a Feeder/Accessories member of the WBFI. Crystal Hiatt, Marketing Manager, will be the WBFI Representative.
