Two of my red onions (from set) have gone missing. Two nice, neat, deep holes where they were earlier today Slugs don't touch onions do they?? Maybe a birdie.....any ideas??? I'm wondering if I will wake up in the morning onionless

proberbly birds if they were small.

That's what I thought too.....I shall be on the look out for birdies with onion breath

try stringing up some old cd's or bits of foil, birds are very hungry with new fledglings right now so just do what you can.

If there are nice neat holes where your setts were then I would say it is deffo pests of the feathered variety. CD's as already suggested might work, as might "humming tape" and a variety of other scarers but in my experience, these only work for a period and then the birds in question get wise to the trick and ignore them.
If the area is not too big, you could net or flrrcr the remaining onions.
