Something ate seeds in one of my developing lily seed pods. It was the result of a cross of Karen North and one of Øystein's hybrid tangos. Fortunately only one of the three chamber was picked clean. I think it was a bird, because of the damage pattern and the fact that only the chamber facing the lily stem was attacked. (The other two chambers were hidden behind it and inaccessible.) Would you concur? And has anyone else ever had a bird do this?

Grasshoppers tend to be abundantly bothersome at this time of year here, eating plant materials. The jaggedy appearance is typical, but the tearing characteristic suggest something bigger/stronger. But why was only one chamber consumed?
Well, the seeds would have been equal to its body weight; maybe his stomach was full...

Whatever the culprit, I do believe that the best crosses tend to be the tastiest. The same goes for the most expensive bulbs. It sure seems like that anyway.
-looks brutal,.ive had a possum steal one or two[out of boredom],but not a bird..it nearly looks like a 'zepplin blowout',.,.strange,.,.
