Ha, don't talk to me about pigeons. Round my way we have to net peas, beans, beetroot, lettuce - anything with a remotely succulent leaf and they will scoff it. The leaves off my fruit trees ... B******d birds.

Pigeons eat in a distinctive way, I find. They shred the leaves so they look tattered, and leave the midribs mostly intact (until they come back the next day and have those as well, if they are very hungry...   >:( >:(

Same here, it gets worse every year. I don't have much trouble with slugs, but I have peas underplanted with brassicas, locked in behind mesh, for fear of the pigeons.
