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

Geese eat quite a lot. They can graze an area closer than a goat, and
that's quite a lot of plants. Ever wondered why Gallium is called
"Goose-Grass"


I hadn't considered geese since the OP referred to seed feeders and I've yet
to see a goose on one of thoseg.

As for the Goose-Grass, I've always liked the name "Sticky Willy" :-)
