My mum used to have a beautiful forsythia bush .. which only looked beautiful once, because every other year was completely decimated by sparrows pecking off the flowers for the nectar. They used to do the same to the flowers on my cherry tree too ... they seem to peck them from the back somehow, so that the flowers drop off, rather than just sticking their beaks into the centre of the flower itself.
