You could also send a small child up there on an expedition. With a stick or something. Isn't it time G. got a job?
I wrote a poem about how this used to happen to my family all the time when I was younger. We'd have to all line up in the house and try to shoo the bird through the living room, dining room and out the kitchen door. Some of us held blankets up, others just windmilled their arms.
I've actually heard placing a bowl of ammonia in the fireplace will cause the bird/varmint to vacate the chimney.
All that scratching. . .you should see the raccoon fiasco over at my blog.
If there was a varmint in the chimney -- it's dead now. I think it was in the tree.
So Gideon will be be spared The Songs of Experience -- for now.
Raccoons! Those fuckers scare me.
