The problem is this critter - the bower bird:

The female is a lovely bird and has a lovely whooping sound at dawn (male has the same sound, I think, but isn't as attractive). But the bower bird is partly a ground bird and very adept at getting into small places where it snips the leaves of new plants. So the plants hardly get a chance to grow let alone have fruit. I think the bower bird is probably second only to the brush turkey as an Aus gardener's nightmare.
