Pigeons in the Fireplace


I was sititng in my den yesterday afternoon chatting with a neighbor when we both heard what sounded like a pigeon cooing. The sound appeared to be coming out of the fireplace. We both thought, “Naw, there couldn’t be a pigeon in the fireplace. The sound must be from the pigeons on the roof and echoing down the fireplace.” A few minutes later we heard the flapping of a bird and it was definitely coming from the fireplace. I put a table up against the fireplace cover to keep the bird from flying out and told my friend I was going to let Dan deal with this when he got home.

When Dan got home I told him that there was a pigeon in the fireplace. He got a flashlight and informed me that there were two pigeons in there. How does one, let alone two, pigeons fall into a fireplace? Dan got a plastic bag and was able to get the birds out of the fireplace one at a time and release them outside.
