Over the last 3/4 days we have woken up with 3 x dead mice and 1 x dead bird in the kitchen. However, before these recent deliveries, our cat has not brought us anything for about 5 months.

Is this due to mice/birds coming out of their nests due to the warmer weather? Or is our cat just feeling loved up at the moment and wants to show us hehe

Milder weather bringing creatures out. Also, this year's spring births which have no experience of dodging predators having their first outing and being easy prey for cats.

More likely breeding season requires parents to be out collecting food more often than normal. Or your cat wants you to eat mice like they do. smile
