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.
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.
