From my chimney.....

Any locost solutions....
Start the fire. It'll soon bugger off
^^ what he said
Hold a single sheet of newspaper over the fireplace hole, it will think it's outside and cannot see anything to be scared of so will and fly through it.

Stupid question, is it dead?
Fire fixes most things so I would go with that idea!!
Did it taste ok
Not dead, although I removed cast iron fireplace and got up into chimney, grabbed hold of the said pigeon, and after a brief struggle and a loss of
feathers (from the bird), the pigeon has been evicted. Much to the amusement of my 8 year old daughter, who took lots of photos and giggled at daddy
wrestling a rather angry pigeon.
The end.....
Happy ending thanks to you. Respect for going to so much trouble. Reminded of Family Guy fighting that giant chicken
Lets hope it wasn't a homing pigeon, or it'll be back.
Lol, this was the KA advert i prefered

My route course analysis says you need to get it out and put a chimney cap....

After much laughing and me being a hero in the eyes of my daughter, clear out the feathers from fireplace, quick hoover, replace fire. Relax......
Stick an eagle owl in the chimney, thatll teach them pesky pigeons.
Having found two dead pigeons up a chimney once, I concluded that they can't fly vertically back up them? Good on you for saving it anyway.
