unwelcome living room visitor

["Jill Dark" <>]

Arwen,

As a long time Wires carer my usual tactic with a bird in the house is, open 
windows if possible, if not, close blinds or curtains and leave one well lit 
opening.  Don't chase the bird, let it find its own way out.  This works if 
you have plenty of time, if not try and throw a towel over the bird and 
gently pick it up and take it outside.  If it is a small bird and there are 
predators about do not let it go immediately.  Let it recover in a box and 
then release it when it has recovered from the shock.  If all else fails 
ring Wires or similar organisation.
Cheers,
Jill
