Actually........birds shouldn't be locked in cages for life. I personally find that to be cruel. They need to be allowed out of the cage to play/exercise/etc.

I saw pics of your house, and it seems to be quite large. If you can keep the birds in a room upstairs.......maybe in your room, and keep Blueberry out of that room completely, I don't think it should be a problem. That way, your bird can have *out-of-the-cage* time, and have a place to roam freely, while the cat can also have the rest of the house to spend time in. Confining Blueberry, or the bird, can be unfair, but if you have a large house and can safely house BOTH seperately, I would say go for it.

If you're going to get any bird other than a canary or finch, please don't plan on completely *caging* them. Pet birds are VERY intelligent, and need at least some freedom to lead happy and healthy lives. Being locked just isn't fair. I personally don't even like to cage canaries or finches, but they do seem to do better in cages than parrots. Parrots need *a lot* of attention.
