Our yard has a special guest this year, an Eastern Phoebe sitting on her nest about 50 ft. from the house. We're glad we have an indoor cat only. Although Birdsbesafe® cat collars are wonderful at protecting many songbirds, a ground-nesting bird is in danger of being caught by a cat because the bird does have to sit on the nest.

This email came today, and I thought I would share it with you. "Dear Nancy,I was getting so desperate about the number of birds my cat was killing. She was bringing in at least one forlorn, broken bird a day and I was beginning to hate and resent her -it felt like I was luring the birds to their deaths by putting feeders in the garden...

The Pacific Wildlife Care center in California has written about Birdsbesafe cat collar covers on their website--and it's a ringing endorsement. Read more here...

Spring is here if you look at the leaves on our trees (out early), but there's a cold wind and a fire in the woodstove. And yet, newly returned warblers are showing up. This morning, along with some nice bird song, I got a very complimentary email from a recent customer...

As the new year approaches, I reflect on my year with Birdsbesafe. I want to keep in mind all the songbirds and all the housecats. Birdsbesafe co. will end 2009 with high hopes for 2010.

Birdsbesafe Cat Collars protect your local songbirds from hunting by your housecat in most situations, but one of the situations that the bright collars don't overcome is when young birds leave the nests. Many songbirds leave the nest before they can actually fly.

Spring is flirting with the late New England winter and we are readying to help you save birds from cats. Birdsbesafe LLC is born! Please read more about us here.
This is Alice patiently waiting for me to open the door. The collar has been very effective in preventing her from getting birds.
Here are some photos of my cat, Fish, wearing his Birdsbesafe collar! 😀 He is on Instagram at @fish_the_kat and we'll be happy to share if you tag him if you post something there!
Here are a few photos of Loki in his collar. I can't find photos of him outside wearing his collars - tho' of course he does and that's why we purchase Birds Be Safe collars!!
We LOVE the collars!!!!!
Since wearing the collars, he has only caught two birds in two or three years - can't remember when we first got the collars.
He does lose them time to time - and also I have found them in the yard, lol. I throw them in the wash and air dry - they come out great!
I love changing the collars for the season.
If you had a seasonal pack - maybe set of four - I bet it would sell well!
I'm happy to provide a testimonial. WE LOVE OUR COLLARS! And I tell everyone about them!!
FYI, we have a second cat - she is a wanderer and wears a tracker - it's been too hard to do both birdsbesafe collar and tracker -- plus she isn't a hunter like Loki. We had a third cat who passed. I wish I'd known about the collar sooner bec she was a very skilled hunter. She wore her collar in last season of life.
We are animal lovers - birds, cats, bees, etc.! My yard is planted with many CA natives and I do what I can to support wildlife. Also, impossible to keep cats inside bec laundry room is outside and other complexities.
Our cat unfortunately is a great bird-hunter.. BUT it seem that your collar cover is working very well. We never find dead birds in the garden anymore - which I assume is a good sign ❤️ The downside is that the collar fabric ain´t (as we know) either organic, fairtrade og recycled. We would encourage you to use organic and fair-trade alternative. Preferably recycled if that would be possible 🫶🏼 This will also help birds and people struggling with loss of habitats and environmental issues caused by conventional cotton-production.
