COO is the sound you’re most likely to overhear in Waitrose right now – but it’s not due to shoppers.
The supermarket chain has a new partner at its Woodley store which has taken up residence in its car park.
Shoppers have spotted the feathered friends making themselves comfy in the ‘a’ of the Waitrose sign by the bottle banks.
The ingenious birds have used the counter of the ‘a’ to use as a base for their new home, filling it with twigs and moss to create a comfy base for the nesting season.
And being close to the supermarket means that they will be sure to find a host of tasty items to feed their growing brood when they hatch out.
It’s not the only bird to make a home in the store’s signs: Waitrose is one of the shops in the Crockhamwell Road shopping precinct to be taking part in an Easter hunt. Chicks have been hidden in shop windows and one of them has taken up residence in the store’s sign by its main entrance.
Tracey Kirkpatrick, branch manager at Waitrose Woodley, told The Wokingham Paper: “Our feathered friend is a clear sign that spring has sprung – and it’s certainly chosen an A-list location to nest.”
