Hi Steve,
To catch and release the birds would probably
work but it would not help if it was done in the daytime. As in that would
be more stressful than just removing the tree and letting them fly away and face
bothering by all the other birds. The birds could be caught in the daytime and
the tree removed and the birds would need to be released early in the evening,
preferably in the same area. Then they could do their normal thing and find an
alternate roost during the night, free from bothering by all the other birds.
>From what I have seen of Frogmouths, they don't seem to get too perturbed by
being held in captivity briefly, they just need a branch to perch on and minimal
disturbance.
