Another bird has entered your porch or house. How to get him out without hurting him? Here are some ways.
Steps
Step 1. Remember that the bird is afraid of you, therefore, use your physical presence (your body) to direct it in the right direction
Step 2. Close all curtains and shutters except the exit door or window
Birds are attracted to light.
Step 3. Close all doors to prevent it from going into the rest of the house
Obviously, leave something open to get it out.
Step 4. Grab a broom or other long object to drive it out of corners, etc
Step 5. Stay in a point where, running away from you, you go towards the exit
Step 6. Approach slowly, looking at the bird, to make sure it reacts in the right direction to your movements
Use the simple presence of the broom as an additional 'motivation'. Remember, it doesn't take him for granted that he knows what you or the broom are, so he's just afraid of you. Therefore, just place one end of the broom in the right place (for example, half a meter from the bird, on the side), to make it move in the right direction.
Step 7. Gradually move the bird along the wall or towards the door, making it move with your physical presence and position, and with the presence of the broom, etc
Step 8. Let it fly away
Advice
- If the bird is in your house, you can often turn off all but the lights in the direction you want. And it will gradually go that way.
- Remember, he is afraid of you, so use your position accordingly. And use the presence of the broom in the same way, when it is out of your reach, more comfortable, precise, etc. Place the broom in the right place.
- If necessary, spread your arms and legs and your posture to help the bird go in the right direction.
- In case of need, use a friend somewhere else you don't want the bird to go. And if he starts to go right there, tell him to wave his arms and / or move slightly to get noticed by the animal.
