As you know, I give my pigeons vegetables regularly. I think fresh veggies are good for them and the birds like them, so we are all happy. :lol:
One veggie I use is celery. Especially the leafy tops. Depending on the season we can pay anywhere from $2.99 for a bunch to $5.99 for half a bunch. Then I often throw half of it in the compost. :evil:
So, since we have embraced the country lifestyle and are planting things everywhere, :lol: imagine my joy when I saw celery plants for quick sale at $1.00!
They had just got a bit big, and these big retailers have to turn them over.
So...

After an afternoon out planting and putting seeds in pots with my wife, I came inside to find Flynn cuddled up with his shark.

That is Flynn's chair, and Flynn's shark. We sometimes find the shark in the cat bickie bowl. Flynn has put him there so he can have something to eat. :P

The pied Heremans hen hatched one baby yesterday, :D but the other one didn't hatch. :( . Unlike her first baby which was small, this one is big and strong, so I am pleased.
The Billion Dollar Baby hatched one this morning. The big dumb grizzle Thone' sits hard on the eggs and flattened the other one so it's another single. Nice strong baby too.
Three other pairs are very close to hatching babies in the next couple of days.
Thats frustrating mate :( I hope the ones you've got turn out well for you.
Could you foster those two out and get both pairs back down on eggs again ??

Bit late for Caterpillars but it could be slugs or snails, they are everywhere at the moment !!
Could be mice of course !!
