And I believe I have an answer.
As the Americas became more developed and European immigrants found more leisure time, they began feeding and sheltering songbirds near residential areas where cats resided. Cats were always welcomed, as they provided a useful service—namely, repelling and killing small rodents.
In fact, I could argue that encouraging songbirds to nest close to residential areas where cats commonly reside is irresponsible. Feeding and housing birds may be enjoyable and fun to watch but it needlessly puts them in danger. I could also argue that ultimately, such bird succoring is a selfish and inconsiderate act—not only unnecessarily placing birds in jeopardy but also attracting rodents and other pests to residential areas...
