Sue, I also have a DECLAWED hunter in my household which is a fantastic
hunter.  I have not tried to stop her because cats are hunters by nature
and I think training them not to hunt would be impossible.  Maybe try the
bell or another trick it to fatten the cat up so it can't hunt effectively.
Maybe if not a bell then a slightly noisy collar like two tags clicking
together.  As far as a bird feeder goes you should be making it cat-proof 
anyway to make the birds more confident of their safety.
