I am introducing my cat (Chacha) and the pigeon that I rescued from the street (Kali).

Until now I have been keeping them in separate rooms, which has been inconvenient.

If at any point over the next month, I need to remove Chacha from the vicinity of Kali, for fear he will attack her, then this resolves as YES. I will of course monitor the situation and make sure Kali is not in serious danger.

Kali is free to roam the apartment in the day (not in a cage). I built her a "jungle gym"/play-area of boxes where she usually hangs out, but it's accessible by Chacha.

Chacha is a smart cat. I have seen him try to attack wild birds before, but it's quite possible he understands that Kali is an accepted group member. Chacha is 12 years old.

I will not bet in this market.

I will post some videos of them either in peace or proving that there is tension.
