How do you control mice/rates/possums

Keeping your birds inside rather than outside would be the best. Your birds would be protected from any and all outdoor elements. They would be all around much healthier and better off.

The mice aren't attracted to the birds, they are attracted to the bird food. Keeping the cage and the area around the cage as clean as possible should help greatly.

Get a couple of Jack Russell Terriers. We have a yard free of possums, mice and squirells now thanks to the little buggers

But seriously, hope you find a resolution to your problem!

Coca Cola.,

Put a saucer of coke out for them.

They can't handle it and explode.

Sorry, but keeping the birds in the house could never work. He has about 20 breeding pair. The birds have inherited my covered carport and the cages are also covered on the tops and have shading partially down each side which protects them from the weather and sun. Since the flooring is concrete and each cage stands about 3 1/2 to 4 feet off the ground, we are able to clean the area quite well each day. I probably should have mentioned all this earlier...sorry!
