Today's the first time ever a bird ever got inside my house.

Somehow it got into the fireplace(which was supposed to be double locked). Took a while of figuring out what was in there to begin with. Could've been a rat or squirrel.

Got a giant garbage bag, covered the door to the fireplace, opened the door, and it flew in the bag before I sprinted to the nearest door and let it free outside. Next thing I know, I turn around to the door which I left open and...ANOTHER bird flew out of the house too! So there were actually 2 birds in there. Have no idea how 1 or 2 managed to get in when the chimney is locked off and inside has an extra latch to seal it off from a second spot.

I'm glad it's safe and managed to get out somewhat easily (and the second one went straight from the fireplace to the open door, which wasn't even on the same floor as the fireplace). I was expecting to find something died in there, or an angry bird.
