The answer

If a woman forgets to feed birds without negligence, she bears no sin, for Allah Almighty says: (Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake). And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has forgiven my Ummah for mistakes and forgetfulness." However, she must be cautious not to repeat this, for it has been authentically reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A woman was punished for a cat she confined until it died, and she entered the Fire because of it. She neither fed it nor gave it water when she confined it, nor did she let it eat from the vermin of the earth."
