Conservation: Happy Cats and Healthy Birds

Conservation in Colorado Lecture Series. Suggested Donation: $5 per person. Registration closes 2 p.m., February 10.

Domestic cats make wonderful pets, but when allowed to roam outdoors, they can have terrible consequences for our birds and other wildlife. Cats are an introduced, non-native species that disrupts ecosystems if not managed well. Domestic free-roaming cats kill over 2 billion birds in the U. S. every year. The best way to keep your cats and the birds safe is to keep cats contained. Join Bird Conservancy of the Rockies and Cat Topia to learn more about this problem and how to create solutions that both keep our cats safer and allow us to safely enjoy our feathered friends!

Presented by Erin Youngberg, Community and Outreach Biologist at Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, and Cat Topia, a Denver, Colorado company building cat enclosures to keep cats safe.

Erin focuses on the birds in our urban landscape, our backyards, how to identify and enjoy them, and what we can do to conserve them for future generations.
