We had a collar with a large bell, but this just wasn't enough. Eco, our serial killer, brought in a bird a day. Now, after one week, we haven't had a bird!! We are so impressed with the Birdsbesafe collar. Not only are the birds safe, but the reflective strip on the collar keeps the cat safe.
Aside from the fact that my cat looks like a circus clown, this contraption has downgraded him from a stealth bird assassin to zero kills in two years. Take that, Frank!
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!
