Saving Birds from Cats
Aug/05/2009
Birdsbesafe recently visited the Vermont Institute for Natural Sciences (VINS) at Quechee VT. A great place to visit. They do wildlife rehabilitation, focusing on birds and birds of prey. It's a center that is open to the public for education purposes.
After a tour of the stunning raptors that they exhibit (birds that were injured in the wild and are unable now to live in the wild), we looked at the rehab center. A poster indicated that 14% of the injured birds that come to VINS are injured in cat attacks.
That’s too many! Let’s all try to get Birdsbesafe Cat Collar to be the new standard for cat owners who let their cats roam outdoors.

Or perhaps you will choose to keep your cat indoors instead--where it would be safe from owls and other wildlife. That’s smart, too. Birdsbesafe isn’t in conflict with “Cats Indoors”--we’re just practical enough to know some cats are going outdoors anyway. It’s good to have a solution for those owners, too.
Thanks, everyone, for trying to protect wild birds.
