Bird stuck in chimney

If you find out it's a racing pigeon and you can't get rid of it let me know

I've got a recipe for pigeon pie.

Mustard.

How did it come in? Well, it goes out the same way

Speaking of birds and chimneys... we did think that there was a bird behind our fireplace as we kept hearing banging and knocking.

Well a few weeks a go we had the fire removed and was met with:

did you light it for the lulz? also it looks like a nest.

Topgun6, i believe you have a beaver living in your fireplace.

Shame we don't have an open log fire. The birds could have done all the log/twig fetching.

Call RSPCA or something. Don't let the poor thing die up there.

We had a similar thing happen. Phoned them up, they came out and collected it from the Garden.

Hope the OP doesn't get bird flue.

It’s probably snuffed it by now, any more news?

Be very careful you don't end up with a living room full of the black stuff.

there is a chimney sweep comming in the morning
its not dead as I heard it about an hour ago
hopefully it will last another 18 hrs

A little tweak to asim18's ingenious idea if I may.

To keep him alive for the next 18 hours, you could lower down a little thimble of water on a bit of string so the poor thing doesn't dehydrate. You could even make up a little platter of snacks, you know the usual "pidgin" food, seed, worms, bacon sarnie, chip butty with a splash of curry etc. Maybe some light reading material to pass the time, OK Magazine or Zoo depending on the gender.

Or if you can't be ****** to do any of that, would the garden hose reach?

I dont think the pigeon would be that thirsty

Garden hose + dirty chimney is a potential disaster

Why not go the whole hog and get mountain rescue to climb up his roof and carry out a rescue.

I wonder if the OP has heard...
