Would deer go for parrotfeather?

Yesterday, when I noticed that much of the parrotfeather (1 plant in a pot
on bottom of teeny water garden) was suddenly draped over the edge of the
water garden.

I figured the dogs had been fooling around, possibly while retrieving a
tennis ball (where else would you put it while getting a drink from the
pond?), or perhaps trying to catch the frog that likes to hang out on the
parrotfeather. I moved the "loose ends" back into the water, and thought
that was that.

Today, a doe & two fawns were in the backyard. Not long after, I noticed
that the parrotfeather was again in disarray, partially draped over the edge
of the water garden.

Since there's uncovered water where deer could drink without disturbing the
parrotfeather, I wonder if that's what they're after?

The parrotfeather isn't looking its best, but I figured that was because I
had trouble putting the plant back in the "same spot" after I cleaned the
water garden last week (the foliage was underwater & the roots were outside,
etc.).
