Happy Customers

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.

Here is a photo of Jeff in the wild.

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.

Pepper is a recent addition to the family home. We think cats should be able to enjoy the outdoors but they need help being good neighbors sometimes. After 3 bird kills within a few weeks of each other, we knew we needed some support. We found Birds Be Safe in an internet search. Pepper now sports the colorful puzzle edition. It is comfortable for her and after almost 2 months of wearing it, no more birds have met their untimely demise. Easy to wash, easy to see with the reflective trim. Pepper is happy. We are happy. Birds are happy. Win-win-win. :)

Highly recommend! And please consider adding a small donation to your order. I did out of respect for the feathered friends that Pepper was not very friendly with.

I can’t definitively swear that it works. But I haven’t seen any new evidence of bird kills. After she killed three Lesser Goldens in one day, I had to do something or I was going to do something drastic.
I take the collar off at night and, after removing accumulated hair every morning from the fabric, put it back on her before she can go outside. After crooning, and praising her for wearing it for a couple days, she now submits to my putting it on her. After making sure the length of the break away collar is flat, not twisted inside the fabric, I approach from behind and below her eyes. The break away collar is hard to snap together, but it seems to work the way it was designed .

Thank you from our cat Eliash! Greetings from Poland!

When I purchased this collar, my male cat was bringing a minimum of a bird a day into the house (mostly finches). He has worn the collar for 3 weeks now and has brought a hummingbird in the house (which I was able to rescue and put back outside.).

The collar is great! Here is our cat Poppi.

I have found zero dead hummingbirds since our cat started wearing this collar. He tolerates the collar well and I highly recommend it!

My nine-year old cat is an avid hunter. She was bringing in a kill, or live bird almost every day. I originally purchased the giant bell for her collar from this company and it worked for four days. This collar has worked now for three weeks. No birds, lizards, or rats (dead or alive) in my house for THREE WEEKS!!! Whereas I used to tentatively walk into my kitchen every morning, steeling myself for some level of carnage requiring a cleanup crew, I can now start my mornings on a joyful note. I highly recommend this product. If you have a bell on your cat's collar that you want to keep, I recommend putting a small stitch on each end of the openings to keep the bell from sliding into the fabric tube. The tube is rather wide and presents some issues, but they're not insurmountable - and applying a couple of small stitches helps a lot.

He looks like a dashing courtier in his multicolored ruff.

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.

We think Cubby looks quite fetching in his BBS collar

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.
