Join Ivan as he wades into the conservation quagmire surrounding house cats and their effects on wild birds.
First, we’ll look at the status of house cat and feral cat populations around the world. How are all these free-ranging cats affecting our wild birds?
Many scientific studies of this issue give us some answers. Research also provides guidance for how best to solve the problems that cats create for birds. Some approaches are more severe than others.
We’ll also go over a few ways that responsible cat owners can help protect their local birds as well as keep their kitty happy.
