I will not let the bird fly with the cats in the same room, and the cage will be suspended from the ceiling, away from any doors or shelves. Intelligent tips, if you please.

Many cages come equiped with locks on the doors so that an inteligent bird ( or inquisitive cat ) can not get in or out. If your cats have been indoors most of their lives it probably wont be a problem anyways. Just a word of caution in choosing a bird for an appartment though. Choose very carefully or you will have some very angry neighbors. Some birds ( the larger breeds especially ) are very loud and very demanding and will probably get you evicted or have you selling the bird to someone else for half of what you paid for it. ( trust me, I have aquired many large birds this way). Choose carefully and not on impulse and teach your cats to give it some space and all will be well.

You will have to supervise the situation very closely and hope for no mishaps. Cats are predators and will view the bird as prey. Some cats are more laid back and couch potatoes and can care less if there's a bird in the room. Other cats will be more interested in catching the bird. Only you will be able to tell how your own cats react.
A warning though...cat saliva contains a ver potent bacteria called Pasteurella and even a minor puncture wound can prove fatal for the bird.

Crucify the first cat that goes after the bird and put it by the cage to teach the other two a lesson.

Depends on your cats. I've had a pet rat that would take a bone out of my dogs mouth, and haul it back to the cage. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, and birds all live fine together.
If your cats are mousers, don't get the bird.

get a rather large bird cage and lock the cage with a combo lock. Make sure the birdcage doesn't have big enough spaces that your cats can get in.

I do, but you may not like it.
get rid of the cats, set the bird free, then start collecting plants instead of animals.
then, get a dog when you get a house.

Get toothpicks for your cats so they can get the feathers out from between their teeth......
