the size of the bite looks like it could be a cockatoo.lemons.JPG

Something has taken huge bites out of all of my lemons during the day.  Anyone had similar experience.

No. I can only suggest setting up a lemon-bite cam.

Have you noticed any droppings on the ground which could help identify the culprit? Possums also eat lemons, especially the rind!

No, I haven't noticed any droppings.   The lemons were attacked during the day.  Unsure what possum droppings looks like.    It wouldn't be easy biting through the thick skin of the lemon.

Possum poo looks like the lolly, chocolate bullets and about the same size.

Had a bunch of white cockatoos attack my lemons a couple of weeks ago, so I sat a large metal owl in the tree. The cockatoos haven’t been back since.
