How do I keep my cat from jumping up by the bird cage?

I have a problem with my cat jumping up by the bird cage and scaring the bird to death! It does not matter where I put the bird cage, the cat finds away to get up to it. I scare the cat away from it, spray water at it, put it in a pet carrier, swat the cat even, nothing seems to work! I ran out of things to try! "PLEASE HELP ME FIND AWAY!"

I have had cat and bird combos many times in my life and so I know how frustrating it can be. I had my bird high up, I kid you not up 8 feet up on top of my china cabinet and my cat did a full volt up and hung on to it knocking both of them to the ground!! My bird ended up with a tumor and I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I got a bird cage that is cat proof cant be knocked over and cant be opened, its by a company not sure if they are still in business but its a wooden cage and on a wood stand its a great cage, search ebay or yard sales for something like that, My cats actually slept on the top and ended up being Buddy’s with my birds.. I have had the same cage for over 17 years.. amazing still is in top shape, worth the money! GOOD LUCK
What kind of bird is it? I used to have a golden-capped conyour named Lucky who dominated my three cats.
Lucky was terrified of the cats, but he would bite them if they jumped on the cage. After the initial bites, my cats wouldn’t go near him.
Keep doing what you’re doing. Your cat will get the hint eventually.
You can move it into a room where the cat cannot get in….It’s not possible for it to get into a room that’s closed. Or you can give the bird away.
make sure there is nothing to act as a leverage for the cat (a leverage will help it jump higher)
hang the bird cage really high up and use a chair or something to get to it but then get rid of the chair
or keep the bird in your room and get one of those wooden gate things to put in front of your door (i think it’s for dogs). you can lock it too (the gate).
