The message et
from Sally Thompson contains these words:


I have never known a bird eat a plant. What birds are eating what plants?

Wood pigeons or pheasants eat brassicas and salad crops; blackbirds
and starlings, and magpies, and chickens, all eat soft fruit and stone
fruit. Many birds graze grass. clover and herbage and peck flowers.


Yes, I realise I was just thinking of plants=flowers and that the OP meant
the whole plant and/or foliage, and we don't really have a problem apart from
yellow crocus.
