Well I sure appreciate the feedback, I'll get her a "beefier" bell (that one was kind of "pansy-ish"!). Don't worry though, no bird feeders or baths, that would just be wrong!

what i would do is go to a supper center and buy a collar with a bell on it and when a cat pounces it will scare the bird off in the trees and thats how you can stop the feathery grass

Preferably you would keep the cat indoors as exposure to traffic, parasites, and dogs is not really in the best interests of the cat... or you could chicken wire a outdoor 'cat run' that doesnt allow any contact with other animals, while letting the cat enjoy the outdoors.
If you are around and see this hunting going on, using a spray hose (light light spray) to hit the cat when he/she is about to pounce on a bird - will discourage that repeated behavior.

My cats seize lots smaller birds, yet they eat each and every thing different than for the surprising wing feather (each and every each and every now and then left over feathers are patently nevertheless component to a wing). If it have been a miles better kill, which comprise a pigeon, I think of there may be extra feathers or limbs left. whilst it is composed of mice, some offal is left uneaten, it may be the liver, i'm not a vet so can not say for particular. And whilst it is composed of fish, they gained't eat the heads!

Either put a bell on the cat's collar so the birds have a fair chance to get away before they're made into confetti, or keep the cat inside.
Otherwise, no, there's nothing you can do about it. Cats will not be trained, and they are just pursuing their natural hunter instinct.

Many people who have bird-shredding outdoor cats find it helpful to attach a small bell to their cat's collar.
Still other people choose to keep their cats inside so as to avoid feathering up the neighborhood.
Is it the fact that your cat is eating birdies that is a problem, or the fact that he is a messy eater??? (Just curious).
P.S. There may be multiple cats involved... bird shredding can be a team sport.

Training your cat not to hunt and kill birds would be as useless as teaching it not to breathe. It's their instincts to hunt and kill.
Do what the others have said: either get your cat a bell for his collar, or make him an indoor cat.

Keep them in the house...it is in their nature to be predatorial. If you have bird feeders or bird baths you will probably need to get rid of them so as not to attract the birds.

Keep the cat in the house. They are healthier and safer when they are kept in the house.

i would scare it with a bird of prey or something, like a : harpy eagle,owl,hawk,or something but then your cat would be dead, so it would better to keep it inside
