Scientist at Work on Testing Birdsbesafe
Nov/07/2011
Big news! A scientific study is going to be conducted in the upcoming months in Australia, by a scientist at Murdoch University, which is in Western Australia. Results should be published in a scientific journal by next June 2012, and the results may be available earlier, pre-publication.
How did this come about? Mike Calver, a scientist with experience doing studies of wildlife-saving devices for cats, wrote to us recently offering to do the study in the coming months. It is, of course, late spring in Australia, so summer season will come along soon for them, for their birds, and their cats.

Australia has quite a bit of a stray cat problem, and Mike Calver sits on the board of the Cat Haven, a shelter/re-homing non-profit that helps re-home cats. We had sent some Birdsbesafe cat collars there, so he heard about us, and now he's planning the study.
Here in Vermont, we're getting ready to ship Birdsbesafe® test collars down under. His study will involve some graduate students, 30 cat owners, 30 cats with bird-hunting tendencies, and our collars.
This study is independent and scientific. Do we have to say it? We are thrilled! Our customers have validated the effectiveness of Birdsbesafe cat collars to our satisfaction, but what could be better than getting outside validation? It is great news!
