Protecting wild birds from happy cats.
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.
I like how the collar looks, and surprisingly my cat, Birdie, doesn’t mind keeping it on. He has had it for about a week and still caught 2 birds so I’m not sure if this collar will help my guy.
This collar works so well! My cat hasn’t killed a single bird since I put it on her!
My cats aren’t necessarily the pickiest but they have had a bit of difficulty wearing other collars. So far this is the only collar they haven’t tried to take off. I haven’t ran into any problems with the collars as they do break away if the cats are caught onto something. The collar has a nice flexibility to it. Overall so far a good experience
I was extremely surprised when I first put this collar on my sass-pot, Pica. She has not shown a sign of caring about it on her whatsoever, she wasn't even mad at me for putting it on... which is saying something for her. Despite her size, she's quite the effective hunter. So hoping both her and the wildlife's health get some benefits. She's a lot easier to see at night too!
I've noticed she's not able to clean her upper chest below the collar, so I might try to figure something out for that. It is one of the best things watching her try though, lolol.
I can't help but be delighted every time I see her :)
This is a good quality product but for our boys we need a louder bell and easier on and off ability. We only put it on them for their supervised outings and the quick release is great for emergency- but kinda awkward to take on and off several times a day. The bell is too quiet in our opinion. Luckily the big collar has been doing the trick fantastically so no need for the extra bell right now.
They do stop the slaughter of outside wildlife but my cat has managed to loose all 4 that I have purchased
Well he can't seem to catch any more birds, but he looks smashing as a pacifist! Great product. Both our kitties wear them when we take them out on supervised field trips into the "big room" and it has stopped the bird-murders. Thank you!
My cat Zoey is the ultimate hunter, she can catch & kill multiple birds daily. In case you’re wondering, she is well fed too! This “clown kitty” has now caught 0 birds in the week she’s been wearing this!! It works as expected and we’re so happy with her again!
I used to have to rescue a bird every other day inside my house or clean up what was left of a bird. My cats have been wearing these collars for two weeks and apparently, the birds are safe!
Pye is very content wearing his collar. He’s been wearing one for about a year. Every morning I tell him that I need to put his collar on him before he can go outside. He looks up at me and waits for me to slip it on him.
I’ve been using these (and a homemade equivalent) for four years now. Our cats have only ever killed a bird when they accidentally went outside without a bird collar! As a veterinarian, I try to educate my clients on bird predation by cats and always recommend the Birds Be Safe collar.
Less than a week after I put the rainbow collar on my cat, she brought a live bird into the house late yesterday afternoon. (At least we were home to let it out--the most recent time a bird was brought in, we were far from home, and the motion sensors in the alarm system summoned the police to the house!) She doesn't seem to mind wearing it, and hasn't lost it so far; she ditches them frequently.
Our cats are the handsomest, and thankfully the birds are safe. The only thing I would do different is start sooner, before they get any birds.

I often have to reorder as he does give them away from time time.
Thank you Birds Be Safe for all you do to save song birds and make kitties look cool in the process.

My cat does not bring me birds anymore! What a great item! Does not bother him at all! He can still hunt, but now the birds have a chance to get away🥰 you will not be disappointed!👍
Our killer kitty now looks more like a clown with his colorful collar on but worth it if the birds are safer from his stalking.
I was going on vacation recently and the cat sitter asked that I have a bell collar so she could find the cats when she came in as one of them I call the round mound of sound tends to not be overly food motivated and will eventually come down when there's a sitter for food but may need to stretch and walk around a bit beforehand.
We have purchased a few collars in the past, two of which looked quite similar to this albeit with bowties, and the kitty jerks I live with managed to remove the collars somewhere they can not be found (we suspect they removed them in a closet behind some furniture at this point but who knows)
Anyway, it worked for its intended purpose which was to notify the cat sitter where the round mound of sound was.
I adopted a couple of cats, and of course they need collars. I selected the pretty, green BirdsBeSafe breakaway collar for my rusty-colored cat. It was easy to adjust. The construction is excellent. It's reflective, which is a great feature even if I don't intend on letting these cats outside. The best part of all is that in addition to the breakaway clasp (which looks like a cute cat's head), the fabric is stretchy! This collar wasn't just designed with the safety of birds in mind but also the safety of the cats! My only possible complaint is that the bell, which has a nice, light jingle, is more of a blue color than green.
Do I recommend this collar? Most definitely! In fact, I just ordered a second one, this time in blue, for my other new cat!
Got this for a 2 month old kitten and he was very annoyed for about 30 min and then he just acclimated. It looks adorable, has a decent sizing range and the bell helps keep up with this little fella.
My cats look freaking adorable AND they haven’t caught anything since wearing them
I am extremely pleased with my purchase of 4 collars from Birds be Safe. I had tried every collar out there to get my cats to stop hunting and killing birds and small prey. Since my cats have had their collars, we have not had one incident of dead or injured animals in or around our house. I will be ordering from Birds Be Safe in the future. Highly recommended!! Thank you!
This is an attractive colorful cat color with an effective bell to help warn smaller furry friends outdoors.
It's easy to adjust and secure on your family cat.
Compared to other "breakway" collars, this one takes some force to undue which may help prevent losing outdoors but I'm not sure if a cat can undue. The material isn't as soft as others on the market but my cat seems comfortable and doesn't complain.
