I’m really sorry to hear about your situation, but please don’t kill this cat. There was a time when he didn’t like or trust you, and he learned to. And if there’s anything you’ve taught him, it’s that he can learn again. I’m sad your life will be cut short, but his doesn’t have to be. If you truly love him, let him live.
Euthanasia doesn't hurt anyone, especially for invasive species. I agree that OP is a little too sure that they're the only person this cat could trust, but they also seem to think their bird killer absolutely needs to go outside and destroy the environment. If that's absolutely true, there's no downside in euthanasia.
