Bird Conservation & Domestic Cats
Grant Sizemore, ABC's Director of Invasive Species Programs, presents Bird Conservation and Domestic Cats. Domestic cats (Felis catus) make wonderful pets, but these animals can also cause serious harm to birds (and other wildlife) when allowed to roam outdoors. This talk will review the conservation challenges associated with outdoor domestic cats and identify solutions for a more sustainable future.
