Medford Whole Foods bird house?

Has anyone else noticed that the new(ish) Whole Foods on the Mystic Valley Parkway in Medford has a tiny, wooden bird house attached to the rafters over the bulk display?

What's with that?

I probably would never have noticed except that I went in there today and there was a little sparrow flying around while I was buying my groceries.

The bird got in a couple weeks ago and they have not been able to get it out. They don't want to shoot it, the houses are traps.

Humane traps.

Shooting a gun in a grocery store wouldn't be a great idea anyway...

Shooting a bird isn't worth initiating mass panic? Drats!

Yep, it's intended to be a humane trap!

I dunno, I find it adds to the shopping experience. ^_^

To Whole Foods credit, I've never seen bird droppings or the like. I'm sure they're there somewhere, but they keep the store in good shape (generally).
