It's in my living room which is too bright to herd him out, has a 12 foot high ceilings with built in perches so I can't wait him out. Please send help.
Update: cancel the air strike. It either got back out or my cat killed it. If it's any consolation I'm leaning toward got back out since my roommate just got home with his dog and the dog doesn't currently have a dead bird in her mouth.
I often have to chase down and catch birds to release them outside. I usually use a towel and a broom and swearing.
Did this a couple years ago. Due to the size of the room and convenient 10ft perches everywhere it takes four people to do that.
