Poor little thing. Absolutely terrified. No idea how long it'd been trapped inside the store at work today, but he was banging against the upper windows when I walked in this morning. Very tired. Panting. A bird, panting, is interesting to see.
Approach from the right had the desired effect, and the bird flew down to the low windowsill, where I decided I could either shoo it out, or try to catch it and release. Catching soon proved to be the easier path, as it kept getting itself trapped between the pots of houseplants we had sitting on the sill.
I could get my hands over it, but the poor dear struggled so much, I could not neatly contain it. What ended up happening, I think, was I managed to get ahold of its tail, and then quickly pinned wings to sides before it panicked too much... once held, it started shrieking like a fire alarm, but flew away with no problems once I got it outside onto the porch. I somehow managed to not bend and wing feathers or hurt its little feeties...
