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.
