I prodded this article, citing the lack of independently written sources. The prod was removed without comment by the article's author, so here we are. All sources on the article come from the organization itself, or from it's sponsor. I was unable to find any sources myself in searching, though you will find a fair number of trivial mentions on google scholar, reporting that they funded various studies.

- An editor requested the National Bird-Feeding Society article be deleted because it lacked independently written sources. The page was revised and now includes citations from 1 book, 5 magazine articles including National Wildlife (magazine), and 5 newspaper articles including Financial Times. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvsnature (talk • contribs) 17:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
