The cats catch the old and sickly birds that aren't on their toes/claws anymore. The young, sharp ones don't let cats slip up on them. That also keeps down the disease rates among birds. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Cats climb trees and eat the baby birds out of the nest.

Cats should not be allowed to run free. The slaughter they engage in is enormous.

That never happens. Birds build their nests far out on the limbs where the weight of a cat cannot be supported. Cats could get baby birds if people place nesting boxes in improper locations. However, birds normally do not build nests in places where they see cats roaming around. They aren't that stupid.

We have trees that are 40 - 60 feet high and I've never seen a cat climb higher than about 12 feet. I have seen Blue Jays raiding the nests of other birds on many occasions, eating the babies.

We have three cats now. One is about 19 years old and goes outside for about 2 minutes every 2 weeks or so. One has 3 legs and cannot climb threes. The third is a stray that we took in which is young and very adept at climbing. She has caught one bird and that may have been one that flew into the patio door.
