I don't know why you have an indoor and outdoor cat. Either keep the both in or both out. But the killing bird problem. Cats domesticate or wild are still natural born huntes and killers. If your cat is outside it's natural instinct will take over and it will kill birds. Cats will always see themselves as the ones in charge of the house. She is bringing you the birds so she can provide for you. Don't punish her it's not her fault...she's just doing what comes naturally. You need to make sure you cat doesn’t get out.

Discuss this with her with dramatic lament and revulsion in your voice. This is the only instance in which I believe pouring the shame of it all onto her pointed little head is appropriate. If she loves you, she will not cause you such disharmony any more. This is such terribleness when a domesticated cat kills wantonly. They are greater beings than such meaningless savagery. They know better than to terrorise their neighborhoods. Let her know how how horribly disappointed in her you are. She may desire compromise. My fat black cat cruelly murdered, and I mean plain murdered, tiny hummingbirds. I discussed this with her and she blatantly compromised with me, asking permission if not to murder hummingbirds, would it be acceptable to kill hummingbird moths. The first year, I agreed. But, the hummingbird moth slaughter was growing intolerable. The next spring, my cat murdered her first moth and, when she sensed my dismay, she dropped it in disgust and never harmed another living thing, not even a chipmonk we named Osama who moved in with us one bitter winter, though, I wish she would have because Osama chewed through about $5000 worth of my dress clothes all winter, unbeknownst to me until too late. I foundered him with sunflower seeds, unintentionally, of course. Cats understand you, your language. Discuss this with her with dramatic lament and revulsion in your voice.

If you don't want the indoor cat to leave you it's share of the bringing in the family food, make sure it doesn't get out. Cats can be ingenious, but you must pay attention to those entering and exiting the home, as to not let it out. Cats are hunters, it’s instinct.
