Onion tops separated and lying next to the bulb

Birds I reckon, pecking at them then discovering they're not that keen on onions?

Or, if they were well frozen, could a fox have laid on them and snapped them? I often find mine flat because they've been laid on...though not decapitated!

They look snapped off to me! Foxes, badgers, dogs, kids............maybe?

is it eaten for sure or has the top rotted off?

I don't know if it was eaten through, to be honest. I don't know what it looks like. They didn't appear to be rotten.

I'll have to double check to see if there's a pathway through them, or an obvious patch a fox may have lain. But there are so many other place to lie down on my plot. Why my onions? Perhaps it was a combo of frozen and lain on, or frozen and pecked. I had a brief paranoia my neighbour might have done it, as revenge for the pile of wet rubbish I inherited and have decided to wait to let dry out before I dispose of it. But they don't look pulled off, nor snipped, and that would be slightly insane. It would be just my luck though to finally get a plot and have a mad neighbour.

I wish I had a camera trap so I could see the naughty fox or bird that has done this.

Luckily I have plenty more sets to plant.
