* CityMouse: Even if they're all in a rural setting, the sparrow vragging about having built his nest in a village house's rainwater pipe functions as this trope. In contrast, the bluethroats are nesting in a humble thorn plant in the field. Later they offer their nest to the sparrow when his own gets swept away by rainwater, he refuses, saying he needs to nest next to a street.

* MouseWorld: More so than in the other stories. Ushi-Mushi makes a mad dash all for a pea bean, struggling to cover distances of a few meters without getting caught by the owls.
* OminousOwl: the titular character is a field mouse who's trying to avoid getting caught by a parliament of little owls. Despite being the size of kittens, through her perspective they are described as nightmarish, lantern-like fiends with all-devouring, glowing green eyes, especially as one lands inches away from where the mouse is hiding and looks right at her.

* CondescendingCompassion: Greyheed, being a nuthatch (a small woodpecking bird) and the other birds she gathers are treated this way by the black woodpecker (Europe's largest species of woodpecker) when they start following him around because unlike him, their beaks can't penetrate the frozen tree bark. The woodpecker, for his part, loves to brag about providing them with food.
