Sometimes a bird or animal will accidentally discover something
to its advantage but not to yours. For instance, the rabbit that
somehow figured out how to topple my lilies to get to the tender
buds up top. Or the cardinal that figured out how to pull the
corn sprouts to get to the kernel. (I watched it happen.) I netted
all my corn plantings for several years after that, and finally skipped
it again last spring with no losses.

sure, there's always the self-starters
which make life interesting...
