There are some big hardware stores that have birds in them all the time. A
while back a huge bird got into a warehouse store and was batting its body
against the upper edge of the big door trying to get out, but evidently
didn't want to drop down far enough to get out of the door itself. If one
watched it, it would be torture; but it was doing that when we walked in to
shop and still doing it later in the day when we left. I have no idea how
long it lasted -- But it must've been a wretched experience for the large
bird.
