We own 2 cockatiels but also love cats, so we're wondering whether it would be possible to have one without endangering the birds?

Would a kitten raised knowinggrowing up with these birds be friendly with them, or is bird hunting an instinct that cannot be unlearned?

It might be relevant that the cockatiels are not really tame and don't let themselves be petted. They probably would keep their distance from the cat as well.

Is it possible to raise a cat not to be a threat to pet birds?
