Poor guy is in there shaking around and chirping like a mofo. Pics incoming. How the eff do I get him out? I really don't want to have to cut.

You should be able to pull the bottom part of the spout off. Might have a screw in it.
|
|
Remove the vertical downspout from the wall and tilt it so they slide out the top, the way they got in. Something must be preventing them from sliding all of the way down and out the bottom?
|
|
Remove gutter and pour them from the top. Clear the jam. Hopefully they're not babies. Maybe a nest washed own there
|
|
Those pieces are just held together by screws. Take that one down and shake the bird out.
|
|
|
That's a downspout. It's probably screwed to a flange on the gutter (or an elbow), unscrew it.....remove downspout hangers from siding. (probably screwed too)
|
|
They are nailed together not screwed. Even the flanges are nailed. Might just pry them out. Not my house or I would have the thing off already.
Either way the birds are either sleeping in there, or dead, or got out. They are not responding to me pounding on it anymore and not shaking around in there from what I can hear. Will go back out and check soon though. |
|
Pull bottom part off.
Stick hose in top and turn on water. Bird in hand. |
|
Seems to me you need a ladder and a hose.
Better yet a power washer. Have your son get his ball glove and stand at the other end of the driveway. |

Gutter bird blues
I got a bird in my gutter So sad it make me cry I got a bird in my gutter We are stuck and can't fly Baby took my wings She is long long gone I got a bird in the gutter Went in a king and left a pawn |
|
If they are in a gutter, or attempting to nest therein, they are more than likely English sparrows and should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
|
|
|
Stick a leaf blower in the down spout. Let 'er rip and give them a lesson in flight. |
|
Start removing pieces of the house walls and roof nearest the downspout until the downspout comes free.

Birds are pretty fucking dumb.
Ornithoides. Shit. I once had one fly into my garage and could't figure out how to get the fuck back out. That big fucking whole he (probably a fucking she) flew through was a big mystery I guess. Son of a cunt finally flew the fuck back out through the big fucking gaping whole in the whole wall that isn't there after 20 minutes but not before shitting on my floor on the way out. Bastard.

Birds will fly into my garage when the door is open and it takes a day or two for them to realize that is the way out.

They may have stopped making noise because they are hiding from the predator that makes banging noises on their house.

Birds are dumb. Nature will correct its mistake in a few days.

Gutter is probably plugged where they are at. Fill lower portion with combustible gas, throw match at gutter spout and watch birds reach low earth orbit.

We have about an 8x8 steel tube that runs vertically along side the roll up door of our shop and every year there's a bird or two that get themselves inside of it. I figure sooner or later they will just stop because it'll be plum full of dead birds.

Garden hose just fill the gutter till they come out or the chirping stops
