Frillylily said:I have had birds tear up my iris blooms. They do not harm the plant. So birds can do silly things. I guess they are either after the moisture (dew) on them in the mornings, or maybe they see the petals moving in a breeze as some kind of threat? Maybe they are attracted to the scent? I just don't know.

That's interesting. Birds WILL "mob" a threat. I've seen several species work together to mob a large, grounded owl with a broken wing. On the other hand, animals know the difference between plants and other animals.
