Willow is a stray we took on last year. He began hanging around our house so we fed him, tricked out our shed for him with a heated house and heated water bowl. After a few months of that he decided he lived here so he does! Our two dogs are not thrilled but we make it work.
I also feed birds so the combination was not great. Willow has brought me at least three birds. When I saw him by the feeders I'd go out and let the birds know they needed to fly off.
Now they see him coming in his snazzy Birds Be Safe collar! He goes out in the morning to check the world but spends most of his time in the house. I slip the collar on in the morning and remove it in the evening when I close his catio. We love it and I've told our vet and lots of people about it. I read about the collar in The Atlantic and ordered right away!!
Thank you for all you do.
We have had so many different ones :-) All striking! My cats never are bothered by it and they are comfortable. Definitely has reduced the bird kill rate. I tell everyone about it since they can't help but ask, give. How good they look!
I love your product and was just replacing 2 collars that my cats have lost somewhere outside. I want to protect the birds.
Our orange-and-white tabby Odi had been averaging two birds a week. Since we put the Rainbow Sally collar on him, he’s gotten not one single bird. It’s quite miraculous. I’ve got no idea why it works, but it does.
Seems Good, My Cat Doesn't Seem To Mind It On At All And It Looks Good, Seems To Slow Her Down A Bit As Well. Have Yet To See If It Helps Save Any Birds From This Bird Murderer Cat Of Mine! Hopefully!
These work so well for my former stray family. They lose their minds if they don’t spend a little time outside, but I want to keep the local birds safe. Especially important in the spring breeding season! I have been using these for years and just restocked- love the new colors and designs!
I've got a female cat who is a formidable hunter. But she has not been able to kill a single bird since I bought the collar more than a year ago. She did loose one, which I guess is a good thing, since she may have gotten caught on something and was able to get away. She doesn't mind it at all, now that she is used to it. The first day I put the collar on her she kept running from one end of the house to the other, which was quite entertaining, but she didn't mind it at all fairly quickly. I do still limit the times she is outside like early morning and in the evenings when the birds are feeding. Thank you BirdsBSafe for coming up with such an awesome collar!
Our cat loves to spend time in our yard, but he learned to catch birds with some acrobatic moves. Zero birds have been caught since he started wearing the collar. In addition to saving countless birds, these collars are a great conversation starter.
I ordered this breakaway cat collar in three colors, one for each of my cats. I’m delighted with the collars! Pretty, bright colors, plus strong fabric that won’t tear or break apart. But the best feature is the clasp: I can quickly pull it apart to open it without having the fuss of trying to unbuckle it while the cat wiggles and resists. It’s just as easy to put it on the cat— the ends just click together.
So far, so good! My cat is young and quite active! He loves to romp about outdoors! He has in the past, brought his catches indoors! Clearly very disturbing to me! I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, I know it’s his instincts. I needed to set him up to lovingly fail! It’s been almost a month, no catches! Not to mention he looks adorable! They are comfortable for him to wear all day, eating and napping is fine! I’m quite pleased!
His name is Bork and he's a rescue feral(ish) barn kitty for our sheep farm. We love our farm's bird population and this is going to be a great help.
Our cat Bubba was raised as an outdoor cat and we’ve been helping him transition to an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. It took him a little time but now he’s fine with the collar. What I like about it is: 1. It looks so cute on him. 2. It’s wide enough to have an AirTag hidden inside so we can keep track of where he goes (and find the collar when he loses it). And 3. Most importantly our neighbor has noticed a decrease in bird deaths around their bird feeder. Since we started using the collar in 2024 Bubba has only brought home 1 bird. Our neighbor is happy and we’re happy too! That’s why we decided to get this 3 pack since our first collar worked so well.
Fabric is very light, so my cat doesn't mind wearing his collar cover, all good!
Before my cat Lady got her birdbesafe collar, she brought me a bird almost everyday. Now that she’s wearing her stylish red collar—so becoming on a black cat—she has brought zero gifts. Thank goodness! She allows me to put the collar on before she goes out, and I make a fuss about how beautiful and stylish it looks. Everyone, including the birds, is much happier.
Only the original Birdsbesafe collar has not only the quality, but also the proper dimensions for our kitty, Simon. He is brilliantly bright and can easily eat & drink without getting the collar gross. Our old boy's hunting days are over! (We have a 100% fenced in yard & he has access to our yard as he needs - he was an outdoor cat when we took him in.)
I’m in the process of ordering my third set of bird be safe collars. They break away safely so that my cat doesn’t get hurt and they keep the birds safe as well. As soon as my cat loses its collar, I end up having to rescue birds from him, or cleaning up bird parts in my house!
Siberian cat Numi sadly specialized in catching bats from the roof terrace. I tried a collar with a bell and was very happy that it worked well. Bats are masters in recieving sounds, obviously any sounds.
But then she changed prey and brought careless sparrows. That's why I bought the birds be safe collar. She does not love it, but she accepts it. But I missed the fact with the "long hair style" - at the moment, there is only one article available for long haired cats. So the careless sparrows will need good eyes. As especially the forest cat breeds... Maine Coon, Norwegian and Siberian... are known as "hunting machines", birds would be safer with more collars for the fluffy kitties!
K will pounce when she hears an outside door opening, and rush out. We know our beautiful Irish Birds ( Tits, Goldfinches, Robins, Wrens, Starlings etal) are Safe.
Birdbesafe collars do cut way down on bird deaths. Our 2 cats are allowed out in daylight only and both were rescued semi-ferals. They have worn Birdbesafe collars for years. You have to check the collars regularly so that they don''t get lost. Recently someone put a lost one in our mailbox.
