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.
I’ve used bibs on my cats in the past. These collar covers are better by far. The cat doesn’t resent wearing it at all, plus they aren’t able to work around it. And it does not impede their gait. I’ve watched my young cat, a budding mass killer of birds, stalk, lie in wait, etc. All in vain. So much so that she seems to have grown less enamored with birds overall. Maybe due to her zero success at catching them so far. I think this product is a brilliant breakthrough.
Prior to this collar, Jean Louise brought in two chipmunks, a baby rabbit and a bird, (only one fatality). Since she’s had the collar, she’s only caught one bird, but dropped it after I told her to put it down, (good girl). Sincei had added bells to her original collar, I call it her jingle necklace. ❤️
This is the third collar I have put on my little serial killer and it works so well, she’s unable to capture any songbirds as long as she has her bright collar on. Prior to the collars she was catching a couple a week. It’s been years now since she’s been able to capture a bird!
My cat has tolerated these for years now. He really doesn’t notice it all. But the birds do and avoid being massacred. Neighbors love it. He’s known as the Elizabethan Elton John.
The collar seems to be effective in protecting birds. Doesn't do much for chipmunks though. The cat is embarrassed by the collar, but I think it makes him look handsome. He's a feral boy and well known by neighbors because of his collar.
