Think theres a pigeon stuck down my chimney. What do I do?

[Nbg]

Is there some sort of firm that I can call out?

Bloody thing is cooing away.

as going to say is it a jackdaw, cos they like buidling nests in chimneys?
that's all.
no useful advice though

? chimney sweep

If you light the fire then prepare some pastry they make a nice pie

Oh bum.

Its one of those open fires, you know the old brick kind and theres a panel inside thats just screwed in.
I'm just wondering if I took it off if I could free it?
Am a bit scared though lol

Ohh nice

Are you sure it's stuck? It's not just sitting on the chimney pot cooing and the noise is coming down?

Well I did think that at first but I can hear flapping!

i'll bet it's just sitting on the chimney trying to make a nest nbg.

if you open the panal be sure to have sheets draped over the entrance you make to catch it or you'll have a very sooty brid loose in the house if he is back there

I don't think there's room in a flue for flapping - sweep brushes are only about a foot across

Oh I hope so.

I darent do it on my own and dh isnt back till this afternoon.
My dog will rip it to shreds if it sees it.

Ooo thats a positive sign WW

they sit on our pots all the time, but once one did get stuck down, and it was a case of reaching up and grabbing it. No other way if it has come right down.

If so, see it as you receiving a free chimney sweeping!

lol

Have you been outside to see if there's one on top?

i've freed a few from the fireplace. we got ours out by getting a big box that they can land in, actually we had to coax one magpie out with nuts. it's horrible isn't it

Yep, had a look. Nothing there.

Its all quiet atm.

I hope it isnt there. If it is it will have to wait.
