Question
Heard bird flapping in the Chimney for two days already. What
should I do to help it out. Give me something which I can do
it myself.
Please do not ask me to call Chimney Sweep.
Thanks.

Answer
Since I don't know the construction of your chimney, I can't tell you. If there is a flue and the bird is unable to drop down, there is not much you can do. If you won't call a chimney sweep, then I don't know what else to advise. This is really not so much a bird problem as a chimney problem.
