Domestic cats don’t cause bird populations to decline says the RSPB

PoC avatarPosted on June 25, 2022 by Michael BroadJune 25, 2022

The RSPB say that domestic cats do not cause bird populations to decline. A bold statement that requires serious consideration. I remember addressing this issue a dozen years ago when the RSPB said the same thing then. For those who … continue reading…

PoC avatarPosted on June 7, 2022 by Michael BroadJune 7, 2022

There is a product on the market called Birdsbesafe®. They are fluffy cat collars in very bright colours. They are deliberately bright because songbirds see bright colours especially well. You can immediately understand the idea. The cat stalks a bird. … continue reading…

PoC avatarPosted on May 25, 2022 by Michael BroadMay 25, 2022

On their website, the American Bird Conservancy state that domestic cats that are allowed outside in the USA “kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year. Although this number may seem unbelievable, it represents the combined impact of tens of millions … continue reading…

Cat owners should take this opportunity to work with ornithologists

PoC avatarPosted on March 18, 2019 by Michael BroadMarch 18, 2019

Birds Are Not More Important Than Cats

PoC avatarPosted on January 6, 2018 by Michael BroadJanuary 7, 2018

Libby Watson writing on splinternews.com coins a term which I like: birdheads. It’s a derivation of ‘petrolheads’ (car lovers) and it is very apt. It applies to ornithologists and people such as Jonathan Franzen, an American novelist and essayist, who … continue reading…
