There’s a bird that reminds me of a mouse because his feeding behavior, it’s the Song Sparrow.

The Song Sparrows feed mostly on the ground and act just like mice, move around objects and go from one place to another searching for any fallen seeds that he could eat.

At times they also go to the feeders but not very often. I usually see them getting into bushes or under shrubs where he can be practically invisible. His plumage blends very well on the ground. They do not migrate during winter and nest deep within thickets.

Here I bring you some current photos of the Song Sparrows.
