Global Ecology and Conservation Journal: Birdsbesafe Research

February 02, 2015

Global Ecology and Conservation Journal: Birdsbesafe Research

The Birdsbesafe® company is pleased to share in the discussion of the new science study, from St. Lawrence University, as reported in the Global Ecology and Conservation Journal, an Elsevier journal available online.

Here are the major points, with direct quotes from the journal article.
    • "The Birdsbesafe cat collar is highly effective at reducing bird deaths."
    • "We strongly suggest its use for owned and feral cats..."
    •  "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."
    • "Across all cats in our study, the average cat will kill and bring home 0.72 birds per year with a Birdsbesafe® [Collar Cover] and 5.56 birds per year without [one]." (From "Discussion" section.)

      Using the numbers, above, we at Birdsbesafe company calculate that represents an 87% decrease in birds killed by cats, per year, if cats wear Birdsbesafe® covers in all seasons. Here is the math to use to get to the percentage of birds saved: 

      1. Calculate the number of birds per year per cat that would be protected, using the above numbers: That's 5.56 minus 0.72 = 4.84 birds protected by device, on average, per year per cat.

      2.To turn that into the percentage of birds saved: 4.84 divided by 5.56 = 87% birds protected!

      That's why the Birdsbesafe company is devoted to this product: It really works! Tell your friends, your local nature center and your local pet store about us, and help save birds. We're already saving tens of thousands of birds. Let's reach for more!

      Swiss Scientific Field Study is the Seventh to Confirm Birdsbesafe Products Benefits

      April 29, 2022

      When I started Birdsbesafe company in 2009, after inventing the product for my own cat, George, I did not imagine how many scientific field studies would eventually test the product's effectiveness. That number rose to seven studies, this week, with the publication of the Swiss field study being published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.

      Happy Spring, cat owners and bird lovers.

      Along with spring rain and greening plant growth, the the migratory songbirds are returning to the north of North America and other northern latitudes. In my yard, we celebrate the first American Robins coming to look for a nesting habitat. Their singing at dawn and dusk ushers in the welcome retreat of wintertime, while our last snowbank melts. Where we live, birdfeeders are removed for the warm months, to avoid attracting black bears!
