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.
You gotta turn out all the lights (block out the windows too) then open the door, should fly out on its own toward the light.
I think my cat handled it. I literally don't have enough blinds for that. This room is huge and opens up to the rest of the house. I live in a spooky mansion that was haphazardly cut into flats.
That sounds ominous :knifecat:
Is the bird OK ?
Edit: just saw your other comment. The answer seems to be "probably not". Sounds like an "indoor cat meets outdoor world" scenario.
I can't find the corpse so I'm not sure...
From experience entering the flat of a friend the cat of which had killed a seagull wandering on their balcony (how ?! they're huge here, the size of a cat, I saw one eating a pigeon once, but apparently he managed to do it), you should be seeing feathers everywhere. If not, the bird probably escaped or is still hiding somewhere inside.
I'm hoping it got out. This was a pretty small bird so it's possible she got a clean kill.
Come back to me bird, don't go towards the light :president-parrot:
Had to scroll through 10 posters doing bits before I found the correct answer.
