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.
