Birds eat mice, so if a bird eats a mouse that ate your poison, you will likely kill that bird with your poison. Someones cat could also eat that poisoned mouse and get sick and die.
Bird or other wild animals or pets or even kids could directly eat the poison and get sick or die as well.
Your unlikely to kill all the mice with poison anyways, so the problem will continue. You need to find the source of the mice and get rid it and all the mice.

I think they generally have to eat 10% of their body weight to die, so while it likely wouldn't make them feel
good, it's unlikely anything/anybody is going to die unless they're eating dead mice by the pound.
