Birdsbesafe Study at the International Conservation Biology Congress

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.

"The conservation implications are clear: if owners of outdoor cats choose to use Birdsbesafe® collar covers, a significant factor in the decline of bird populations would drop precipitously." S. Willson

Birdsbesafe Shown Effective in Science Study

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.

Cats didn't like it

Both my cats tolerated their new bird be safe collars for a few days. Then one lost his in the neighbor's yard and brought a bird in 3 hours later, his first bird in 6 months. The other cat wore it for about a week and then refused to let us put it on him. So I guess the cats won for now. We will try again.

Life saver 🙌

Found this dangerous cat as a 4 day old or so kitten in a church's parking lot. Yep and I think his mom abandoned him cause he is pure evil lol. He is so crazy that there is no way to keep him in the house he wants to go out to the yard and hunt. The problem is he hunts everything bunnies, birds, mouse, once I found a mole in my closet. ....so I needed a collar that said look I'm dangerous and now he is in a bright vibrant color with two huge bells on. Does it help? Yes the bigger animals have a chance lol! But the insects and lizards don't. I was concerned about the birds in my yard this has helped a lot. Now the mice in my yard? No chance I have no animals in my yard anymore I'm sure they see him coming. Good quality, fits easy over a collar, beautiful colors. Also if the color falls off I can see where it is now. I need to buy extra so don't buy them all my cat is on the prowl.

Here is my cat Stitch (aka Mick Jagger) wearing one of the many, many BirdsBeSafe collars I have purchased for him!

Here is my (male) cat, Quino

Quality made Collar

Tinx hasn’t worn it long enough to comment whether or not the birds are feeling safer when she is nearer to them.
Though I will say the collar is nicely made, the reflection strip looks great and she feels comfortable wearing it. She is more at home and that maybe a sign that birds are no longer her playmates to be found.
Thankyou, will buy again from you when another is needed…
