Last year we introduced guinea fowl into our garden, and they went after veggies that we never thought they would touch, including onions... We are still gardening with the guinneas (they love squash bugs) but have kept them out of our crops with plastic mesh bird netting..

Mice will also take out pepper plants - I like to live trap these little guys as well ("snap traps" tend to kill birds so avoid them).
