Stay calm and keep people and pets away from the bird
Close interior doors to limit where the bird can go
Open all exterior doors and windows wide
Turn off fans, TVs, and loud appliances
Dim indoor lights if possible and make the outside exit brighter
Stand still and give the bird time to find the way out
If needed, gently guide it toward an open door or window using a towel or sheet
Do not chase, grab, or throw objects at the bird
If the bird is injured or will not leave, contact a wildlife rehabilitator or animal control
After the bird leaves, check for any open entry points and close them
