Keep the cat away from the birds? Place their cage in another room that is off limits to kitty?
The hot sauce on the dead bird might work, if the cat comes back after the hunt. He could be out for the thrill of the chase though.
If kitty is chasing wild birds in yer yard, your options are limited. You would have to build an enclosure for kitty to be while outside. These can be quite large, but are cumbersome to build.
good luck!

From my own personal experience there's not too much you can do! It's in the cats nature. In fairness my cat's not that bad, she'd only bring back birds to show off in the spring and early summer but none after that. First of all feeding it won't help (unless your devious plot is to feed it until it becomes obeice and then it can't climb the tree!) most tame cats only do it out of instinct and bring the bird back so you will be proud of them. According to them anyway, so be flattered, even if it disguists you! Other things that people say will work is putting a bell on the cat. This won't help at ALL, unless the bell is the size of it's head ( a friend of mine actually does this because according to him the amount of mice his cat was bringing home was getting ridicilous, the cat is constantly sloching, but it did work ) Also keep an eye out for where the cat is getting it's birds from, if it's a small tree you could spray it with some of that cat spray stuff that you get down at a local pet shop, this was very effective at stopping my cat from scratching at a favourite carpet spot in my house. And if the nests are in nearby gutters perhaps getting them covered so nest can't be made is a good investment? But to be truthful it's in a cat's nature, so there's not too much you can do to prevent the cat going on the prowl! Good luck :D

Get rid of the cat or get rid of the birds ... once they start attacking them they wont stop. Been there done that cat went bye bye.
or get a bigger bird .....

you may never get it to stop eating birds because its nature instink, but you could get it a fake bird and then they may play with that and stop with the real ones. Hope this helps.

Take one of the dead birds and put hot sauce on it. Once he gets a taste of that, he will not longer go after birds. It works.

Indoor, outdoor or poultry? You need to be more specific.
