Is it ethical to place a birdbath next to my berry patch with the intent of letting my cats get there predatory instincts out?

I’ll counter with. I have a vet. I am interested in birdwatching and the cats are only outside supervised.
Good points.
Ask your vet if they think it’s a good idea to let your cat eat random wild birds during an outbreak of H5N1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I like bird watching too, and it’s easier to do without a predator scaring them off.
I suppose you’re right.
I doubt I want to deal with a dead bird anyway.
You win the wisdom award. At least until I get bored and look up bird population parasite/diseases more in depth. Which I am unlikely to do.
