If a bird is entangled, for example in netting, and cannot free itself or you can’t safely help it to get free, please call us on 03. Remember that some birds will have multiple broods in the same year, so the nest may still be in use even if you've seen birds leaving it recently. This may take some time, so leave the room undisturbed for a few hours. You should then leave the room quiet and empty. You can also place a torch at the bottom of the chimney (facing down towards the floor) to help coax the bird towards the light. Once the gas supply has been disconnected, open external doors and windows, making sure you pull any curtains out of the way. If it is a gas fire, contact a registered Gas Safe engineer to disconnect the gas supply before any rescue can be attempted. Alternatively you can wait until the bird and its young have left and then block up any holes they have been using to access the building. If you suspect a bird is living or nesting in your property please contact Environmental Health at your local council. They will normally leave pretty quickly if you follow a few simple steps such as opening external doors and windows and turning off the lights. It's not unusual for birds to sometimes enter a house or shed.
