Tips

Having found a bird at home, you can fully experience the oppressive atmosphere of one of Alfred Hitchcock's horror films. You may have just returned home and heard strange noises in the corner of the living room. Or maybe you entered the covered veranda of your house and ran into a flailing bird, which beats in panic about everything around.This article will help you maintain your composure in such a situation and safely escort the intruder out into the street, so that both of you can safely return to your usual business.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Limit the bird's area

1 Close all doors leading to the interior of your home. When the bird sees you entering the room, it will try in any way to fly away from you as soon as possible, even if for this it will have to get deeper into the house. Therefore, close all doors so that the bird cannot move through the nooks and crannies of your home. In addition, this will make it easier for the bird to find its way out into the street - it will understand that there are simply no other ways to leave a particular room.
- If the bird is in a room from which there is no direct exit, stretch out a large sheet in your hands and try to use it to drive the bird into a more suitable room. Do not touch the bird with a broom or other long-handled object.
2 Remove pets from the room (especially dogs and cats). No doubt this will upset your cat, but the additional presence of any more animals in the room will only increase the bird's panic. In addition, it is better not to risk the health of the pet, as it can pick up some disease from the bird if it decides to attack it.
3 Provide a single source of light near the exit to the street. Draw curtains on all windows and turn off lights everywhere except in the area through which you want to guide the bird (for example, it could be an open window or door). The bird will naturally avoid dark places and will rush towards the light, like a lighthouse leading it outside.
4 Keep calm. You yourself can get scared from meeting a bird. If a bird rushes about the house in panic, it is easy to scream out of fright or instinctively try to swat it. But this will only increase the fear of the bird itself and the potential damage it can cause to your home. Remember that you are at home, while the bird is scared and disoriented in foreign territory. So stay calm by closing unnecessary doors and blocking unnecessary light.

1 Provide the bird with direct access to the street. Depending on the room in which the bird finds itself, it is necessary to choose the easiest and widest path for it at will. This could be the largest window or even a door that leads outside (ideally). It is best to provide the bird with one clear exit so that it is easier for her to notice it in the light.
2 Leave the bird alone. Once you have banned all unnecessary doors in the room, turn off the extra lights and open the window or door leading to the street wide so that the bird can fly away, leave it alone. It is very likely that, in the end, the bird itself will fly out of the room. Birds are extremely sensitive and can die due to complications caused by stress. The best thing you can do is just leave the bird alone and let it fly away on its own.
3 Help the bird find a way out. If the bird did not fly away on its own, you can try to "direct" it to the exit. Take a large sheet and stretch it out in front of you with both hands. Slowly approach the bird and, following it, force it to retreat to the exit so that it can fly out.
4 Do not touch or harm the bird. Some sources recommend throwing a sheet or towel over the bird to knock it down, and then pick it up and manually take it out of the house. However, it is better to avoid such actions and use them only as a last resort, since it is easy to injure the bird and not even understand that it was injured.
- Birds are naturally very sensitive to atmospheric pressure and feel even the slightest fluctuations in it, so for them, falling on top of a large towel or sheet can be very painful.In addition, the bones of birds are very fragile, so even a light touch of a person can seriously injure the bird.
- Do not try to knock the bird down with a broom or any other object - this will only injure it and prevent the bird from finding its way to the street on its own.
5 Get help. If you have done everything possible, but still could not get the bird out, try to seek help from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It employs specially trained people who may know other effective ways to safely remove birds from your home.

Part 3 of 3: Protect your home from repeated bird visits

1 Inspect your home for potential entry points. Sometimes birds fly into the house just by mistake through an open door or window. For your part, you are unlikely to be able to take effective measures to prevent such situations. However, it would still be wise to install stronger mosquito nets on windows and try not to leave open spacious aisles that lead to the street (for example, sliding glass doors).
2 Prevent potential bird nesting in your home. When a bird accidentally flew into your home, this can be considered a single strange incident. But having a nest of pigeons or other birds can create a completely different crisis in your attic that will require very different actions. Birds love to nest in homes, preferring places such as chimneys, gutters, eaves, and ventilation. These areas must be properly protected to prevent birds from entering your home.
- If a woodpecker stubbornly chisels the wood of your house, hang a shiny object, such as a CD or DVD, in this place - this will help scare the bird away. Bells ringing in the wind will also help scare off woodpeckers.
3 Seek professional help to keep birds away from your home. Some organizations may offer to purchase and install special devices that will scare away wild birds and prevent them from nesting in your home. To protect the house from birds, anti-permeation spikes, sound scarers, film, glass and other barrage materials are used. If you think birds have the potential to be a major problem in your home, don't hesitate and get professionals to help protect your home.
