I've seen them on occasion with mice, but I've made sure that my bird feeders are high and in open areas, so that the birds can see the cats.

I think I'll always have to have some kind of feeding contraption on the go, as I would really miss them. I'm watching a pair of blue tits visiting one of our nest boxes... they're like a tag team.
