Netizens applaud US firm’s sweet gesture to protect bird’s nest in its parking lot

Instead of removing the nest, the business surrounded the area around the nest with traffic cones to make sure that a person does not run over the small nest.

The cooperative also shared pictures of the protected shallow nest on its Facebook account and wrote, “It pays to keep an eye peeled while driving as our Johns Island employees found out when a killdeer decided to make its nest right in the middle of our parking lot. Normally a shorebird, the killdeer will scratch out a shallow nest in open ground usually around water. The nest can’t be moved due to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act so our crews made sure it was safe and sound until the eggs hatch in a few weeks. It’s just another way we’re helping to keep the Lowcountry beautiful.”

Many netizens appreciated the company’s wholesome gesture even as the post raked up hundreds of likes. Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “Wow, never knew that. That’s amazing and awesome “eagle eye” the employee had. ”. Another person commented, “Applauding your wonderful and heart filled response. Thank you, on behalf of the birds and all nature lovers”.
