Default Birds in the grocery store!

The govt requires me to get a room full of stainless steel sinks,
separate entries sealed from outside, an exhast and intake fan. no
pets, no smoking, and many other expensive to code shelves, NSF
approved tables, floors, plus food safety training (again expensive) to
get a licenced kitchen. Now why are they allowing large stores to allow
health hazards after all this trouble? Lobbyists payments? I agree
birds are cute, and as a farmer I value their help and beauty in things
like pollinating and spreading seeds outdoors, so I feed them: but if
this is the case why should anyone bother with any sanitary food prep?
USDA and Dept of Health should be monitoring this, and if they are not,
they are not doing thier jobs that we pay taxes for.
