The outdoor neighborhood cats are the ones that are an issue. It sounds like promoting owl habitat would be a great targeted solution to mice problem without affecting small birds as much.

Great Horned Owls apparently also kill cats, so that might be a perfect solution.

They can, but that's less of an issue since other birds are not active at the same time.

But they're not pets that are released into the wild by the million.
