Yeah. Like, birds love hardware stores. You can't keep them out since they can fly in through the customer doors or through the loading docks they use for the big stuff.

Birds getting into things like hardware stores, large grocery stores, or shopping malls is a thing.
It's particularly difficult with a grocery store since they tend to have piles of vegetables and fruit sitting on easy to see tables. I once saw a sparrow sitting on the birdseed shelf looking absolutely smug.

You could just do like here in Denmark: not have ridiculously tall customer doors and keep the loading docks closed when they're not actively in use ๐Ÿคท

I've lived here for all of my 41 years and I've never seen a bird in a grocery store and only twice total in hardware stores ๐Ÿ˜†

That's so weird to me, I see them all the time. They just walk through the door when they get opened and it's not like the doors are too big.

They just really want to be in there, and so you see lucky little sparrows pretty often.
