Hunting is a predatorial instict deeply woven into a cat. In the wild, cats hunt to survive, never passing up the chance to catch somthing. So when a house cat sees a rodent or a bird, they are likely to get a great desire to pounce on it. But cats do not just hunt things to eat them; sometimes they use a killed bird as a toy.

Why do cats eat cockatoos?

Cats are natural predators, and their hunting instincts drive them to chase and catch small animals, including birds like cockatoos. While domesticated cats may not typically hunt larger birds, they may attack them if the opportunity arises, especially if the birds are vulnerable or unprotected. Additionally, the presence of birds can trigger a cat's predatory behavior, leading them to see cockatoos as potential prey.
