Results are in from the North Hills Buzz survey about our flying feathered friends in the Harris Teeter here (not sure if the birds are still there or if they have left by now).
It looks like many of you (48%) feel like Harris Teeter should get rid of the birds, but others thought the birds should be allowed to stay (38%) or didn’t care at all (14%).
Does anyone have any suggestions for our next survey? Let us know by commenting on this post.

North Hills Buzz Exclusive: There are birds flying around and chirping in the Harris Teeter at North Hills Raleigh. I first noticed this last week when I was getting a fresh sub for dinner (Harris Teeter a 6-inch sub-of-the-day special that is about $2.50 and is excellent). I was standing at the deli waiting for my sub to be made when I noticed a bird fly from out from the deli area. At the time, I was pretty hungry and didn’t really give it much thought.
Tonight (January 21) I was at Harris Teeter again for some grocery shopping. I was pushing my cart down an aisle when I heard a chirping noise. At first, I thought this had come from my cell-phone, which makes a “chirp-ish” sound whenever I have a voicemail. But there was no voicemail. A few seconds later I heard the noise again and I looked up and found the source–not one, not two, but three birds were perched on the metal bars connected to the ceiling. I’m not a bird expert so I can’t tell you what kind they were. They didn’t sit still very long before flying to the far side of the store (where the beer, milk and OJ are).
I wonder if there are more than three birds who have made Harris Teeter their playground (or home?). Also, I’m not sure what the sanitation/health risks are with birds flying around food. But it just seems strange to me to see birds in a grocery store. I guess you can’t blame them–it’s pretty cold outside and if I was a bird I’d be trying to get warm, too.
Has anyone else seen the birds in Harris Teeter?
