Oddly enough just yesterday early in the morning I kept hearing something making a banging noise in the living room. When I went in the room to see what was going on I walked by the stove and heard it. I got a flash light and discovered a male Bluebird in the stove. There was a small pile of creosote on the bottom of the stove beside him. Maybe I should of left him in there for a day or two, would have gave a whole new meaning to the title sooteater :eek: !

Poor little guy. Maybe put a plastic bag over the chimney top for the summer?
