I have a bit of a puzzle. My Swiss Chard and only the Swiss Chard was throughly munched on this year by something. I was not able to find any sign of insects and the damage did not look like slug damage. The leaves were eated from the outside in (from the edge of the leaves to the stems). Only these plants. I had a great growing year relatively free of pests. A friend said that sparrows will eat Chard. I had not hard that before, but we have a huge amount of feathered visitors this year (and increasing). Is this possible? I have never heard of Swiss Chards loving birds.
