Media attention would likely be helpful, if anyone knows a good contact.

I've noticed this also in Davidson & Wilson County Walmart. Here is a link that might be used to write Walmart - maybe if this gets out and people actually write Walmart - then maybe they will make some changes. It's worth trying!

http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx

I would select "company feedback". Click next and then write them a message. The last click - I would select send to corporate office.

Just a thought.

Any Walmart stock holders out there? This should go to the top and come down to local stores.

The local Walmart has been trapping many hummingbirds this season inside the garden center checkout area. There are two large ceiling fans which kill many of the hummers. Others just die from exhaustion. I talked to the manager and told him that the store should do something to stop attracting the hummingbirds into the store. The flowers don't have to be close beside the open doors into the store. The green shrubs which they sell could be placed beside the doors instead. The employees said that they are told by management where to place flowers. An employee told me that hummingbirds are killed inside the store daily. She said she finds their dead bodies all over the garden center indoors. I saw three inside when I was there. Yesterday, I visited another Walmart garden center on the other side of town. I saw dead hummingbirds hanging in the ceiling windows there. The stores garden centers are almost identical. Please forward this plea for action to save hummingbirds to other friends who shop in Walmart. If you have a better solution, please let us know.
