in my cupboard, and i'm pulling out my hair.

somehow, a cute little sparrow made its way into my kid's room. it
chirped for HOURS...i couldn't catch it alone, and the cats were FAR too
curious.

sucker flew into my kitchen and i shut it in the cupboard. it's quiet
now, lol...but i still have to get it OUT of there.

any suggestions, that don't involve a dead bird?

try to cover it with a towel so it doesnt get scared and than you can
let it outside...good luck!


put the cats up till you catch it!

pillow case

open the windows and broom it out

i'm worried i'll give it a heart attack. i know birds get them pretty
easily...

i can put the cats in the other room, but they can open doors.

hey Lori ...

lol...put on some gloves and gently scoop her out of the cupboard, if
you can determine where she is without losing her. if she flies away
leave some food in a trail to the window or on window sill....


put cats somewhere else

so like...bread? i have no bird seed, just cat food. um...bread would
work, right? salad?

smart cats! By covering the bird up if you can that will
usually calm it down that is why it quieted down in the cabnet.

you might want to try opening the windows in that room also and maybe it
will fly out...try the towel 1st. though...

the broom would give it a heart attack.

i remember when we used to have birds, we'd put a sheet over the cage to
get them to shut the heck up. i also remember how touchy the darned
things are...

i've opened the windows, but i think i might wait and let the kids get
that sucker out, they'll be home within the hour.

i'm just glad it's QUIET!

I would try to open the window and let the poor bird fly out on its
own.

Put the cats somewhere where they can't get to the bird. open cupboard
and the bird will come out on it's own.open outside door and shoo it
towanrd the door. been there done that. LOL
gook luck

aaaaahhhh...it's chirping again. i'm off with the towel.

hehe...i went to the cupboard, opened it...couldn't find the bird. got
a chair, went back...sucker flew right in my face.

cat got loose and chased it out the window. i caught the cat before he
could follow...

yay. it's quiet.

well that worked.LOL

The problem I've had is bats in the house. The first one scared the heck
outta me flying back and forth. I tried the broom too, really doesn't
work with bats, just makes em fly around more crazy.

The next one that got in, I just left him alone after he found his way
to a corner above a cupboard. I think he found his way out the same way
he got in, wherever that was.

The one and only time I had a bird in the house was years ago. Getting
him out involved the cat. Sorry, I won't say anymore. I love birds, but
stay outside please.

Worst problem I ever saw like that was when a bird got into a factory
warehouse and kept setting off the alarms. Since the warehouse was about
30,000 sq feet it was really tough getting the bird out. Took a couple
weeks.
