For every alarm purchased, Birdie donates 5% percent profits to their partner organizations that passionately support women’s safety, shelter, and health.

🚨 Immediately call a rep when you feel unsafe (who can either stay on the phone with you or call 1st responders)

📞 Receive a pre-recorded “excuse-to-leave” call

📣 Plus, the safety device still functions as an alarm, too, with a 130db alarm and flashing strobe light.
