Pigeons don't like brussels sprouts either.

I didn't get around to covering my brassicas with netting this year so I have had some trouble with the dreaded cabbage white butterfly and pigeons but the brussels sprouts haven't been touched.  Now there's a thing.

Summertime and the living is easy ! Wait till all the grain is harvested and your brussels are the only green showing through the snow l ;)

Pigeons are omnivorous in this part of the world.  Brussels are definitely on their menu.  They do seem to prefer leeks if they can get at them though.  Lettuce they ignore.
Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and be suspected of knowing nothing than opening it and proving it.

Pigeons are obviously less fussy here -- brussels are on their menu for sure!
Wisdom is knowing what to ignore - be comfortable in your own skin.
