Murdoch University in Perth, Australia has done a lengthy and large field study of Birdsbesafe devices and their effects on native fauna (including birds and lizards). You can find the study here, in the journal of Applied Animal Behaviour. Or if you want the short version from the press, the Daily Mail, a U.K. based newspaper has written it up, here. We're happy to summarize the research highlights, as we understand them, and then, for the details, please do give the above references a look.

Dr. Susan Willson of St. Lawrence University has given her first press interview about the field study that she did on Birdsbesafe cat collar covers.

The Conservation Biology department released a study summary and you can read it in its entirety here: St. Lawrence study summary on Birdsbesafe field work.
