Bull feathers! Cats are believed to have come to America with Christopher Columbus. Anything they were going to make extinct would be long extinct. We have 6 cats on the porch and get about 10-12 dead animals a year in the yard. We have 3 in the house that go outside and they are to fat to catch anything. Some people hate cats because they are wild and free and act like animals. I've read those studies, they call cat apex predators, how many house cats do you see living wild in the woods? None they starve to death because they can't kill enough to survive. No I will not put up bird feeders.
These nest boxes should be on a pole with a racoon/predator baffle to protect the birds. You're not helping the birds if you don't do this because they would be safer in a natural hidden cavity than in a box that stands out that is easy pickings for a predator.

My cats always bring their prize in the house. So proud of them
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That was a solid sarcasm/satire piece
Seriously though, I understand the main point he is trying to convey—namely, that since the 1500s, when Europeans brought small cats to the Americas (small cats are not indigenous), there wasn't a significant issue with them becoming apex predators and relentless bird-killing machines until relatively recently. 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...
