Birding Problems - CatsBirding Problems - Cats


In the fall of 1990, a study on the effects of cats on wildlife was
reported in the scientific and mass media. Researchers estimated that
house cats and feral cats are responsible for killing approximately 78
million small mammals and birds annually in the United Kingdom.
Numbers for the USA are unknown.

Feline predation is natural instinct. Millions of backyard birds and other
animals are killed by cats each year. Cats are a threat to
fledglings, birds roosting at night and birds while they're on the nest,
at the bird feeder and using a bird bath.

If you are unwilling to eliminate free-roaming cats, do not attract
birds to your yard by putting out bird feeders, bird houses and bird baths.
Eliminating free-roaming cats is the best way you can "protect" your
backyard birds from cat predation.

Responsible pet owners know there is a risk to wild birds. Most local jurisdictions
have enforceable leash laws for dogs, but cats are free roam. Contact your local humane
society if you need help.
