I woke up to a bunch of noise coming out of my fireplace with my cat intently sitting in front of the fireplace waiting for a bounty to come to him.
Bird trapped in gas fireplace.
I can t remove the fire it has to be a gas engineer.

Be afraid of the bird.
Leave a few scraps of food in your fireplace to try and tempt the bird to come down and eat and leave the room for a while with a window ajar for the bird to fly out of.
Ensure that the trapped creature really is a bird and not a raccoon or another wild.
Install a chimney cap to keep birds and other animals out of the chimney.
What on earth can i do.
Take a shower after the bird is out of the house to get rid of any spores or mites the bird has shed.
If you have an open chimney where the bird can escape from below then you might want to try and coax the bird out rather than reach up and grab it.
If the bird has left droppings in your fireplace take extra care removing them.
Choose a box that fits the fireplace opening without much room around the sides to avoid the bird traveling or getting.
Have come down this morning to hear cheeping behind my fitted gas fire there s definitely something behind there.
Move slowly and decisively.
