Sasha had killed five birds within 10 days (two on one day), then I put him one of the collars from the three-pack, and he has only able to catch one bird in the last month (as far as I know - I am pretty sure he takes all of his catches into the house). Kudos!
I've been using birdsbesafe collars for two years now. My cat used to catch and bring birds inside my house often (one time 5 birds in a week, yikes). In the past two years I have seen him catch maybe 3 birds, so the collars seem to help considerably.
I give him a treat when I put the collar on or take it off and he really doesn't seem to mind it at all. He has lost two collars, dunno know where or how but I guess that's good proof that the breakaway works!
Also really appreciate the reflective trim and I love how the ruffs make him look like a goofy little clown <3
Certainly cut down on the bird deaths but not entirely. The “clown collar” is well made; be certain to have your own internal collar. Definitely take it off when kitty is indoors, tends to bother his neck-perhaps all of the folds of the collar?
So far, this seems to be working. I have a cat that loves to sit out on the patio with me, but I needed to tame her killer instinct with birds. It is costly, at $55. Now that I have it, I see that it is simply an ordinary safety collar with a little bell, along with three different brightly colored fabric "tubes," which I think would be very easy to sew at home out of brightly colored fabric. Each one is simply a 12" by 2.5" tube of fabric, open on both ends, that the collar slips into. The collar then fastens at the open ends of the tubes and the bell hangs down at the opening. There may be something about the particular colors and patterns that is effective here. In any event, I notice when I sit out on the patio, I don't hear chirping like I used to, so maybe the birds leave as soon as they see my cat in this. Either that or she's already killed all of them.
I love the blue color of the Bejeweled Stripes collar, especially for my orange cat, but it's just not as effective as the Rainbow Sally. For over a year, our cat Khan wore either the Rainbow Sally or the multi-colored puzzle collar when outside and he caught no birds. I don't know if it's because of the grey light in SoCal with the marine layer, or if our birds don't see blue as well as red or yellow, but unfortunately our Khan Kitty caught a hummingbird and a finch during the week he wore one of his new Bejeweled Stripes collars. We switched his collar back to the Rainbow Sally and he hasn't caught a bird since. So we will only be ordering multi-colored collars from now on. Rainbow Sally is our favorite.
My cat wasn't supposed to be an outdoor cat. Plenty of humans and a whole interactive dog to play with inside. After Khan Kitty bent/broke six window screens, however, we surrendered to the inevitable and began taking him outside on a harness and leash, with the leash turning into a long line. Even on a lead, Khan CAUGHT A BIRD in our backyard. We were able to free the finch and it flew away, but wanted to make sure Khan never caught one again. One of his kitty cousins on the East Coast wears the Birdsbesafe collar, so we ordered the Rainbow Sally and put it on Khan's harness. He's caught no birds while wearing the Rainbow, whether it's on his harness for walks or his collar when playing in the yard. He has, however, caught the pocket gopher destroying our butterfly garden, 2 rats, and about 8 mice. While Khan can no longer sneak up on birds, the Rainbow Sally doesn't stop Khan from serving as rodent pest control.
Love the collar. We had to get this for one of our cats because she likes to go after birds and lizards. It works!! And I love that they are breakaway collars.
I purchased two Birds Be Save collars for Jane and Sally, my two long-haired cats, on the recommendation of a friend. It's too soon to tell whether the collars protect birds (and I may never know), but Jane and Sally look adorable.
I think these work! Of course the cats don't like the collar during wet weather, dew on the grass, or during the summer when temps rise. Always use a brake away collar. They really don't survive too well being run over with lawn mower - but do survive if left hanging from a tree limb along with the brake way collar. Between the collar & this bird deterent, you will spend $30+ but I really didn't intend to have 5 to 6 cats when we established a Purple Martin colony. p.s. I do NOT rely on these collars as the only predator deterrent. Fencing and water squirt bottles reinforce "stay away cat!" Get a quality brake away collar.
