One time a raven of all things fell down my chimney and was perched on a ledge interior to the chimney above the fireplace. I got a call about it early in the day asking me to come home and deal with it, but I couldn't get away, so I said I'd deal with it when I got home. It spent the next several hours trying fruitlessly to fly back up the chimney. Its wings were too large to spread, so it only got about half way up before slowly sliding back down. When it wasn't trying to escape, it was making scary pissed-off raven noises. I ended up having to lay down face up in the fireplace and reach up with gloves (and my arms wrapped in towels) to grab the bird, get up, and walk it outside. It was mortified and tried to fly away before I got to the door, but was disoriented and flew into a wall instead. I think it was too stunned to resist at that point, and so I picked it up and brought it outside. After a few moments it flew up into the Japanese maple in my front yard. There were some crows in this same tree that observed the whole escapade and decided to start caw-caw-cawing at me. And then for the next month they kept doing it. Turns out that yelling at them that I had saved one of them and that it was my tree anyway didn't actually succeed in shutting them up.
