An animal shelter spends $2.00 per day to care for each bird and $5.00 per day to care for each cat. Maya noticed that the shelter spent $163.00 caring for birds and cats on Tuesday. Maya found a record showing that there were a total of 44 birds and cats on Tuesday. How many birds were at the shelter on Tuesday?
