damn a Bird? I've had about 4 of my indoor plants dropped by mice chewing all around the stalks I think they must've been getting water from the stalk because all my plants had teeth gnawing marks all around them but it was 4 that actually chopped right down the others were ok but i had to make a few splints for sme of them as one that I came home to was lying on the ground but was still attached to roots I made it a sling tied it to a stake and she pulled thru!
