Would be great fun to light a fire and catch it's feathers on fire only to have it fly around the house starting a real fire.

Wouldnt it be a real drag if we were all the same?(to quote a line from a Savoy Brown tune)
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Boco knows how to trigger people. You got their buttons Boco P.S. To be deadly serious, no, I would not light a fire in the stove with the critter in it. In most cases...

Maybe it is a chimney swift. Those are really neat birds. One year I had them in my chimney. I let them be, but the next year I put a screen cap on so they couldn't get in. Trapper7 you should have done a little research and found the Chimney swift is on the threaten list and you just took away a nesting structure. As more brick furnaces chimneys are being replaced their nesting habitat has declined in the last 30 years

We've had hundreds of bats twice in our camp stove in the spring. It has a 6" metalbestos stove pipe with a cap. I put 1/4" hardware cloth around the cap . No more bats since then.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price

Well, all's well that ends well! The dang thing was scratching in the chimney as soon as the sun came up this morning. Wife not happy. Stoked myself up with plenty of coffee, closed all the bedroom doors, opened up the front door, and faced the beast. Put my trusty trout net over the stove door and the battle commenced.
It was claw and beak for a while and I was not sure how the whole situation would turn out. It took all I had to wrestle him out of the stove and into the net. The beast seemed to sense he had been vanquished by a mightier foe and gave up....until I released him in the front yard. It was the happiest, fastest flying Catbird I have ever seen.
Given the skills, strength, courage, and prowess I displayed during battle, I am quite sure that children will sing songs about the great warrior around the campfires...or woodstove.
Moosetrot Thats some Braveheart stuff right there. Should have yelled Freeeedommmmm!!!!
