Colorful Cat Collars Save Songbirds
 |

“It protects most birds from cats that hunt, by giving the birds the time to see the stealthy cat and fly away to safety. It reduces birds caught by about 87 percent - so not quite all birds will be protected, but the great majority will,” says the Vermont inventor.
She started Birdsbesafe® LLC in 2009 after making a collar for her cat and seeing how effective it was. Since then scientific studies have proven that it works.
The collar is comfortable and can be worn all the time or just when the cat is outdoors. In case it gets caught on something, the collar has a safety breakaway feature. The cloth covering is a tube, open on both ends with a collar insert. Both release under pressure. Patented in 28 countries and heralded by conservation groups, the collars are available on Amazon and in many stores listed on the company’s website, as well as through the website. The insert collar sells for $8.50 and an assortment of collar covers sell for $9.39 to $9.99. Wholesale pricing is also available.
“Birdsbesafe is a rare story of how a ‘backyard inventor’ has succeeded in the marketplace with a unique and valuable product. We have had the best customers in the world, who championed the product in the early days, when the concept of the product was new to everyone,” Brennan says. “Our mission is to popularize the product and help it become even more widely distributed around the world, to save as many birds as possible.”
