| | | Supermarket sparrows
I've heard them before but not seen them until today - a sparrow in Asdas visiting the veg section. Completely at home with the shoppers and at very close quarters. Very amusing and obviously finding a lovely habitat, out of the rain, nice supply of tit-bits and totally happy. Has anyone else got supermarket sparrows?

| I only hope they don't employ the same methods as they did back in 2006 - they had two sparrows shot because of 'health and safety'  Evening News 24 - Store seeks licence to kill birds SparROW | Sunday Mirror | Find Articles at BNET |

The shoppers were fine with it. A little female chirruping every now and then to it's mate that was somewhere about the store.
If they had to remove the ones in the news article, why on earth didn't they ask a ringing group to mist net them?
