Mouse or Bird

[Alwayslearning22]

Anyone ever come across a lump of food pushed into a brick mortar joint? 
it’s as if a mouse tried to carry food into it. 
it’s about 8 feet up the wall. Very strange

I wouldn't think a mouse would just leave it there, not if it went to all that hassle of climbing there. More like a cacheing behaviour. Crows?

It was a big enough lump too looked like chocolate or something. I live in a terraced timberframe house so I hope it isn’t a mouse or he will be in the house in no time.

Any chance it could be mud?  I think masonry bees sometimes plug-up nest holes.

No I don’t think it was mud. Definitely looked like a lump of chocolate. I plugged the hole wit some paper to see if it’s being used by a mouse
