A Facebook video by Kenyon Douglas shows birds walking on and pecking at vegetables at a Walmart in Houma, sparking online reactions. While some viewers were unsettled, others pointed out that produce is often exposed to wildlife during growth. Comments ranged from jokes to reminders about washing produce before consumption. Chelsea Pierce noted, "Fruits and vegetables are grown outside with wildlife," while Trey Parfait joked about pre-dressed broccoli. Walmart store #542 has not clarified if this is a recurring issue. The video serves as a reminder to clean produce thoroughly, whether from stores or gardens.
