By instinct the cat will go after the bird. If it is a large parrat the parrat will keep the cat at bay. Just the squak to frighen the cat may be enough, if the bird has to bite, the cat will remember that.
Small birds and cats loose in the same room, no, that won't work. You'll loose your bird.

It better be a super duper trained cat. If not, I wouldn't trust the bird out of the cage with the cat. A cats instinct will usually take over anything it was ever taught.
If you do, make sure you are always home and close by when the bird is out of it's cage.
Get a spay bottle and spray the cat whenever it gets to close to the bird.

You can, but it would never be 100% safe to do so. The cat, even if it becomes best buds with teh bird, may inadvertantly hurt it.
They are a predator and the bird is prey to them. Most cats will just try to eat the bird.

I had a cat one time that climbed my drapes to get to my Cockateil -- she did not hear me coming, I grabbed her (so she wouldn't fall) and spanked the daylights out of her. She NEVER went near the bird again -- in fact, I could put the bird on my shoulder and she would lay in my lap. I swear, she thought the bird beat her up. I had 3 cats at that time and none of them would approach the bird - they somehow knew it was a pet too.

I would say not. Cats prey drive is pretty strong and a bird fliting around the house could set that off.

conserving poultry in the cage and offering authentic situations foodstuff, toysz stimulation and out of doorways cage time at the instant are not cruel. take a glance what's going on in nature, many parrots went extinc through searching, starvation, toxins, labeled as pest, deforestation , international warming , sickness and so on. in captivity those can be extremely virtually prevented .

I wouldn't suggest it, especially not without supervision. The cat will think the bird is food.
