Yesterday and today I heard a hooting noise and realized it's coming from our chimney. I think there's an owl in there.
Tonight we will turn off the heat in the living room and leave doors and windows to the outside open (also the damper open in the FP) and hope he (or she) comes out.
I don't hear any struggling or other movement, and we have only heard two calls, one last night and one this evening, but very close and the second time definitely from the chimney.
Hoo-HOOo---HOO!
Maybe it is just nesting up above and isn't currently in difficulty? I hope that's the case. I put out a dish of water and a bit of raw meat below in the fireplace. Maybe that will draw it out?
I asked my husband if there was an organization like the SPCA in Italy, and he said, "No, probabilmente ci verrà qualcuno a darci una multa!" [No, probably someone will come and give us a fine!] Ever the optimist (realist)...
Anyone else dealt with an owl?
