Cheeky Cockatoos Destroying Our Veggie Boxes

We have had a new challenge this week to add to the rabbits and the rainy weather. Two bold and unfazed cockatoos decided to snip off some of our young garlic and leek crop. You can see the plants in the gutter on top of the weed mat, as well as in the bed amongst the growing plants.

Luckily they were discovered and encouraged to move on (or sod off) before they damaged more than a handful of plants, which should grow back from their roots but will be delayed. I am hoping there is enough other food around for them with all this rain and that they won't remember and return when I am not looking.
