What are impaler birds?
Some shrike species such as the loggerhead shrike or the fiscal shrike are variously known as the impaler bird. It is also known as the 'butcher bird', but it should not be confused with Australia's butcher bird. The loggerhead shrike has a sharp, hooked beak. It gained its nickname because of the way it uses its hooked beak to break the spines of its victims, which range from insects, lizards and rodents to even other birds. It then impales them on sharp spiky thorns or barbed wire to hold them while it disembodies or dismembers them. Larger prey may be left to decay, as this softens the flesh.
Do songbirds eat mice?
There are two songbirds known to eat mice and they are from the same species. They are the Northern Shrike & Loggerhead Shrike. They eat mostly insects. I have never seen either bird but they have a long beak that has a slight curve on the tip. The loggerhead version has a slightly larger head. Their photographs remind me of the color of mockingbirds. They are not very common and I believe there is an alarm concerning their dwindling numbers. They have a sinister habit of impaling their victims on thorns of plants, as they feast.
