No. Usually they are just thrown together in a cage without any social niceties at all.
i love my women in pantyhoses.
Non-native mice arrived in Australia with the First Fleet in January 1788. There were numerous rats and mice on board, which survived the long voyage, and ruined some of the grain brought over for food and seed.
In chapter 2 of "Of Mice and Men," the characters being introduced are Candy, the old swamper who works at the ranch, and Curley, the boss's aggressive and confrontational son. Candy has a loyal old dog, and Curley is known for his boxing skills and his troubled relationship with his wife.
Curley's wife is first properly introduced when she walks into George and Lennie's cabin looking for her husband near the end of Chapter 2. This is where Steinbeck first describes her making her out to be very flirtatious and possibly dangerous as she wears many red items which tend to be associated with passion or danger.
It is unlikely that all of your mice die suddenly of old age. There must have been disease/virus/bacteria etc that caused the death of the mice. One mouse probably caught it and introduced it to the others. If you had just recently gotten a new mouse and introduced it to the others without quarantine, it could have had an infectious disease that ended up killing all the mice. This illustrates the importance of quarantine when you buy a new mouse. If they had been eating the same food then it may also have been something they had eaten - they could have eaten something poisenous.
The possessive form of "mice" is "mice's."
My guess would be the birds, for two reasons. They eat the same things the mice eat - grains and foods of that nature - and they're hard for the cats to catch.

Mice are rodents.
Mice is already plural. e.g. One mouse, two mice, and three blind mice!Mouse has an irregular plural, mice.
Dibblers are small, carnivorous, native marsupials of Australia. The main reasons why dibblers became endangered have been predation by introduced species such as feral cats, wild dogs and foxes. Competition with introduced species of mice has resulted in lower populations, as has changed fire regimes and habitat degradation.
