Sherry,

since your cat has clearly shown you just how strong her instinct is,
you need to be extra careful, and always make sure that she is behind
a securely closed door at all times when the birds are out. after
seeing your cat make a beeline for your bird within seconds of it
being on the floor, I'd never trust it with the birds again, ever.
you need to keep everythign completely supervised 100% of the time,
no matter how long the cat acts "good"
