[Shop-talk] Bird in shop

[Larry Spector]

Is it able to get in on its own, or just when you open the door? I'd
start by making sure it can't get in when you're not around. I suspect
that if you lock it out for a few days, it'll give up and go find
somewhere else to live.

Barring that- how about leaving a loop of Hawk (or other predator
bird) calls playing inside?
