Oh boy, I can't tell you how many times I have pulled something out of thin air.

One of my favs was when a Starling flew down our chimney. I opened the flue but he wouldn't come out. I had to come up with a way to get the bird out without hurting it. So, I climbed onto the roof and lowered a rope with a plastic lid tied to the end of it. The lid acted as a "pusher" to force the bird to walk out of the flue.

Once it was in the house, catching it was fairly easy.
