Birds and people are the same, so I see your point

Birds and people are not the same BUT ANIMAL LIVES STILL HAVE VALUE. The life of a bird IS NOT WORTH NOTHING, just because your life is worth more by some metric you can't explain.

My cat is far more than literally thousands of wild birds to me. It's either let my cat play outside or put her down. What do you think I should do?

I think you should talk to someone about your raging solipsism. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. Or that of your cat, when they end up eviscerated.
