To civilians who may have been puzzled by the wildlife crowd’s tossed-off references to peefas, modos or mice cubes, here is a beginner’s guide to Rehabberspeak. Raptor rehabbers feed our patients mostly thawed mice which, when frozen, are called either “mice cubes” or “mousesicles.”

She got out and began taking photos and quickly realized that the owl was being baited with white mice. But as she stayed and mice were being tossed out, she decided it wasn’t for her, and she left the birds, and the group. I question the release of non-native mice into the wild. My own take on that mirrors it.

“I tell people DO NOT try to remove the bird,” says Maureen Eiger of Wildlife Care Alliance in Virginia, who gets calls from people who put glue traps in their garage, leave the garage door open, and catch birds instead of mice. The homeowners were trying to catch mice. It worked, then naturally the roadrunner went after the mouse.

We started feeding mice, mealworms, and even some wild bird mix and leftovers, as they are scavengers. We released live mice into the flight so they could learn to catch and kill live prey. They did very well, even enticing the resident ravens to fly down for visits. In the evening, they roost in the pines near my house.

Head into the country and there are plenty of Gray Hawks perched or soaring or flying along the edge of forest and semi-open areas to prey on lizards, mice, or small birds and other unwary creatures. However, that tends to be more because such zones are where green space is allowed to persist, at least in urban areas.

In famous experiments on mice, psychologist B.F. Skinner observed that the act of a random reward triggered the most dramatic changes in their actions: "The mice would press a lever and sometimes they’d get a small treat, other times a large treat, and other times nothing at all.

Nonnative species have huge impacts on wildlife species everywhere… mice kill seabird chicks in their burrows, rats eat endangered bird eggs, overpopulated deer clear the understory of forests, pigs root out native plants and terrestrial animals, cats kill anything they can get their paws on. The logic of this is ridiculous.
