I think there's a bird stuck in my chimney.

There is pounding and squawking coming from the wall above the fireplace. I will die if it comes all the way down. We have never touched the fireplace, and I've always just assumed that the flue is shut. Please oh please oh please let me be right.

  • Oh thank goodness you are talking about your actual fireplace chimney.  After the chapped nipple posts I could only assume that this post title was referring to another sex injury.

    A bird who has fallen into a chimney will almost certainly NOT fly back up and out by itself. They will usually fall down to the box that sits on top of the fireplace, accessible through the damper. Sometimes (and we mean sometimes) if you open the flue and place a light in the fireplace, the bird might get itself out of the firebox and enter the fireplace. If you attempt this, make sure the screen is closed so if it does come down, it won?t enter the house and fly around in a panic, getting soot all over your walls and possible hitting windows (or ceiling fans!) If it gets into your fireplace, you?ll have to catch it and either let it go outside, or if it?s injured, take it to Liberty for treatment. If you don?t feel like you?re up to effecting the extraction by yourself, please call the Liberty Wildlife hotline and we can usually dispatch a rescue volunteer to assist you.
