Tenant has a bird in there unit .. what to do?

[Tiffany Smith]

My tenant just messaged me that there is a bird in there 3bed 2bath apt/unit? I wanted to know whose responsibility is it to remove the bird? It is currently stuck in the laundry room. Obviously they left the door open and a bird flew in.... Is it my problem as landlord or theres to solve? If it is my problem how do I get a bird out of the laundry room? Thanks for your help!

Removing a bird is fairly easy: darken the entire room except for one open window. The bird will go towards the light and remove itself. Barring that, you can cover it with a towel, pick it up and put it outside.
