> 1. Keep your cat indoors. The low estimate for the number of birds killed in North America pet and feral cats is one billion birds a year.

If your pet cat is spayed/neutered, it should be fine to allow them outside. They will not contribute to the feral cat problem and in fact could help slightly reduce it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but IME cats don't use their genitals to hunt birds.

It's only fine in terms of preventing them from creating feral cats. It doesn't stop them from murdering wildlife.
