Medford Whole Foods bird house?

[m00n.livejournal.com]

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.

because food grown on farms is kept away from all bugs and birds and dirt?

uh, no, but most people do make an effort to keep birds away from crops first of all, and secondly, this isn't a farm. it's a store in the city. and i'd rather birds not be wading through my nuts and grains.

Short of shooting or poisoning it, there's not much that can be done other than what they're doing. Trying to trap it.

But it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.

oh no, i'm fine with the trap idea, i didn't realize when i initiially commented that's what they were doing.
