An owl family has decided that a Lowe's Home Improvement store in Colorado makes the ideal home.

The nest has become a conversation piece between customers and employees, according to KOAA. The nest was built inside a pallet atop a shelving unit. Two owl chicks are inside the nest, with an adult owl observing closely nearby.

The interest in the owls prompted a Lowe's staff member to attach a sign on the shelving unit that reads, "Do not touch, owl!"

According to KOAA, baby owls don't venture out of the nest until they are about a month old.
