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

Please talk to managers at Walmarts and tell them to change garden center
displays. 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.
