Ok its me again and... Birds, yeah birds does birds like doves and pigeons get attracted by sundews? This leaf was so beautiful and now looks sucked, for a moment I thought it was my dog but it wasn't and there was bird poop, I try separate the hairs for this hard "saliva" looking goo, but its Hard as a rock ImageImage pictures before and after if you zoom you might see what I'm talking about, I think over reacting a bit ImageImageImage

your plant caught some prey. it curls over and stops making dew in order to feed. it looks like that after it catches food. the birds got nothin to do with it.
