Default Disaster
In article ,
says...

Birds are nesting ATM, which, I assume, includes pigeons. Pigeon
chicks are fed by the parents regurgitating a 'milk' of partially
digested grass, or in your case, lettuce. Perhaps some pigeon eggs had
just hatched nearby and the parents wanted to feed the newborns.




But would pigeons dig up between 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil and
devour the roos as well, even of the leeks as well as the
lettuce.
