In Montpellier France, in July 2015, Dr. Susan Willson of St. Lawrence University presented information about her study of Birdsbesafe® cat collar covers during the International Conservation Biology Congress. Her poster session was entitled, "Birds be safe: Can a novel cat collar reduce avian mortality by domestic cats (Felis catus)?" This study was previously published as a journal article in Global Ecology and Conservation Journal.  

Our exclusive fabric formula for success at warning birds about cats is based on more than six years of research, sales, and customer feedback. What we know can't be imitated. We're Birdsbesafe® LLC, the originators of using bright colors to warn birds away from cats.

Just a short note to mention that despite the resemblance to a certain human hairstyle accessory, the patent pending Birdsbesafe® cat collar cover is designed for cats and their cat safety needs. It's an open-ended tubular shape and you slide a breakaway cat collar into it to hold it onto the cat's neck. Both pieces release under pressure--for your cat's safety outdoors. Read on the FAQ page for more details. PLEASE, do not put an elastic band around your cat's neck. Thanks! We love cats and birds!

Dr. Susan Willson of St. Lawrence University has given her first press interview about the field study that she did on Birdsbesafe cat collar covers. She noted that the spring trial (one 12-week period) showed cats that wore Birdsbesafe were 19 times less likely to catch a bird. The Conservation Biology department released a study summary and you can read it in its entirety here: St. Lawrence study summary on Birdsbesafe field work.
