No, they leave mine alone too. I well remember at uni having to dissect a pigeon, and its crop was full of peas (and the rest of it full of lead shot, apparently the department had a deal with a pea farmer, one of the grossest things I ever had to do during the whole three years, and believe me some of it was pretty repulsive), so I always net the peas, but pigeons don't seem at all interested in any type of bean.Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.Comment

Been up the lottie this morning and something has bitten off my broad beans at the base of the stems and left them lying on the ground and there is a nice neat small hole dug where the seed would have been. Bugger

If they only attack one or two plants, it's not a problem. Just plant more to compensate.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

They killed 24! Which I know to aome doesn't seem a lot but I'd all ready planted a load of seed which doesn't seem to be sprouting in the ground. These I'd started at home in loo rolls and thought cos they looked nice a strong with good roots I'd planted out two days before attack by killer mice. 
I think I'll have to wait till Feb now.S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig
