Cutest Bird Ever!!!
While your cat looks very lovely and cute, they are a great danger to birds. Their saliva is toxic, and even friendly interactions can prove to be fatal. Not to mention that as prey animals, cats nearby can cause a lot of stress for the bird. Lots of bird owners have cats, but very few will allow the cat to sit on top of the cage, or be anywhere near it at all.
Just so you are aware, and can make changes to keep your birds safe.

Hey thanks for the information about their Saliva being toxic for birds
I didn't knew it earlier.
Also i posted it here as they are Close friends and are raised together from when they were borned
They never are scared of him. They are goof freinds they play, Sleep together while i agree that they might be in stress if they were not raised together.
So sorry if my post goes against the community standards .
Thanks so much for your advice

Abstract
Infection with Pasteurella multocida caused by bites has been known for several decades. Cats are an important factor in Pasteurella multocida infection. Considerable numbers of victims are 'rescued' from the mouths of cats and submitted to bird reception centres for treatment. A number of bird shelters sent birds in this condition to the present authors for closer examination. The majority of birds caught by cats die. The mortality rates in shelters were reported to be 30, 90, 99 and one hundred per cent. Of the birds rescued alive from the mouths of cats, approximately 40 per cent died from the direct effects of the bites, and approximately 60 per cent died from Pasteurella multocida infection.

Btw this kitten and birds are raised together so they are friends
And do not harm each other
Even they sleep together.

First, of all it's not toxic it is infectious with a particularly nasty microbe called Pastuerlla. Second, I've heard that old "my cat would never hurt my bird" many, many times right after the cat killed the bird.
I didn't knew about such incidents
Will be precautious with them now.

@Eesa Do you think your birds might like some things to play with? I don´t know if these are their permanent cage? But they do look a little empty. You could make some toys if there aren´t many sellers locally.
Here is a subforum of people posting toys and swings etc that they´ve made;
Bird toys are something of a rarity around here where I live so I make a lot of things as well as order toy parts and toys online.
Tip; lovebirds love destroying things

Last time i made them a pathway of ladders and some hanging toys
They chewed destroyed all.
I was planning to make some more toys soon
They're so funny lol
I really enjoy watching them play and communicate with each other it's so interesting.
Nowadays when they don't have any toys to destroy/play with they Play with their feathers and fight after them
Thanks for the link I'll definitely make some good toy this time
