To keep your cat from biting, you need to train him to avoid this behavior. Engage in some play fighting with your cat, all the time watching his behavior. Praise your cat when he is playing gently but as soon as he gets a bit more excitable, play dead and ignore him. If he bites you, scream 'ouch' and again, ignore him. A few repetitions of this behavior and your cat should refrain from biting you or anyone else that plays with him.

While we don't know about your bird's history, health, or living conditions, many birds (as well as other species) will playfully nip at another of their species. In general, this behavior is about establishing dominance, although it can also be a sign of insecurity. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't hurt the other bird, and it shouldn't draw blood. If you find the behavior unpleasant, feel free to use positive reinforcement to teach the bird not to do it; if the bird is biting at you, it is especially important that you set boundaries, rewarding the bird for appropriate behavior. Of course, if your bird is going beyond occasionally nipping and instead trying to claw or injure, then that is not normal behavior for a budgie (parakeet), and you should probably consult your veterinarian to discuss what might be causing it.
