How do I help the poor thing get out? I tried leaving all the garage doors open, but he is still confused. He keeps trying to fly up, which I guess is only natural. My husband tried swinging the broom at him to "direct" him out, but that didn't work either. We do not want to hurt it but I am also afraid that I am going to come home with the kids and it will be dead on the floor. Any suggestions? Quote \| Reply \| Report

It was kinda cute in that he was sitting up on a rafter sleeping when my husband came home ~10 last night. Must have been past his bedtime!!! Quote \| Reply \| Report

Hopefully, he doesn't eat the stuff and then decide he likes it there. There is already enough bird poop on my garage floor...... Quote \| Reply \| Report
