It's raining cats and dogs in Vermont today. And it's cold. The migrating birds are just beginning to return to our region, but spring seems to be waiting a little longer than usual to arrive. Or maybe it just seems late because we have had snow on the ground since October and we're all ready for flowers to pop up. Just as soon as the snow goes away.
All of which reminds us that spring arrives to different areas of North America and Europe at different paces. (Not to mention arriving 6 months later down under.) Wherever you are, when the songbirds are plentiful in your yard and the weather is nice for cats to spend time outdoors, your feathered friends are at risk of being caught by your cat. Try our products this year!
We have a ten-year track record of successfully protecting birds from cats. Our product has been studied in field studies, confirming how well it works. It also has been tested in backyards all over the United States and Canada for ten years. We can assure you that the product succeeds from Alaska to Florida, from Maine to Hawaii. In Canada, the product is very popular, and we also have a wide group of cats wearing it from Iceland to the UK to France and Belgium, Switzerland and more.
We have satisfied cat owners all over North America, in cities, suburbs, on ranches or in the desert climes. Scientists may still be collecting more data for their studies in some locations, but as the makers of Birdsbesafe cat collar covers, we can tell you that the product works uniformly well in the northern temperate climates. Thanks for caring about cats and birds, and happy spring!

Results of a scientific field study, led by Univ. of Exeter's Dr. Robbie MacDonald, were published in the journal Current Biology this week."Fitting Birdsbesafe collar covers reduced the numbers of birds captured and brought home by 42% but had no discernible effect on mammals."
And, the research paper characterized it: "Birdsbesafe is a colorful collar cover that works as a visual warning, increasing the visibility of cats to potential prey animals with color vision. It exhibited pronounced effectiveness in reducing killing of birds, and more generally, prey with good color vision, including herpetofauna."

As we enter the holiday season, in 2020, it is remarkable how very unique 2020 has been around the globe. What remained the same, for us at Birdsbesafe company, was our devotion to helping cat owners save birds!

We really enjoy hearing from you about your successes with Birdsbesafe® collar covers on your cats protecting birds in your yards. Here's just a sampling of some recent emails that we have received! We appreciate every one of them.
Thanks for caring about cats and birds.
"We love your product, it’s amazingly effective…not a single caught bird since we’ve started using the collar covers. Wish all cat owners who let their cats outside knew about these."
