There is a rather large woodpecker in my loft space, I think probably 2or3 lbs worth of really beautiful woodpecker. But he won't/can't figure out how to leave he just keeps flying around and 'pooping' on stuff..............I have turned off all the lights...opened the garage door as far as it will go...turned off the TV....shut the door to the office....... he just keeps flying around...... :-(  It has been going on for several hours now.....any suggestions??????

I said, when the cat gets hungry enough, he'll come down. On the 6th day he came dawn. The same will happen with your woodpecker. When he is hungry and thirsty enough, he'll find a way out. (unless there is food and water up there). I know it's a nuisance. But short of shooting the thing, I can't think of any thing else. Wim </HTML>
