This endemic bird must also contend with outdoor cats, pesticides, cowbird parasitism, and maybe even competition from the slightly larger White-eared Ground-Sparrow. Fortunately, local researchers have been well aware of the dire need to learn about this species so it can be adequately protected.

Another product has been invented that could cut down on the number of wild birds killed by domestic cats. Bells don’t work; cat bibs sometimes do, but cat owners rarely use them – saying they’re “too restrictive.” The same cannot be said about Birdsbesafe, which allows the cat as much movement as it wants.

Cat health problems are prominent, but many can be avoided. Cats are just as likely to get cancer, diabetes and organ failure as humans are. Cats can get diabetes, and it is often caused by a poor diet. Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet high in meat and protein. This leads to diabetes.
