>> As others mention, I've only very rarely seen cats catching birds around here

That's exactly opposite of my experience - my mum has two cats that only live outside and I'd say that on average they bring at least 2-3 birds every week + 4-5 mice. Them hunting rodents is great, the birds not so much.



Traditional mitigation in my country is giving the cat a collar with a bell on it.


Evidence suggests that most birds are incapable of learning the association between the bell and the cat.


They learn to work around that.
