Actually it’s a triple purpose towel. 1. Original purpose was for rescuing injured peregrines. Sadly they are rarely just injured. They are usually dead & I don’t need the towel to quiet them. 2. When clean, I use it to take a shower at work though I rarely do this now. (Worth it when I need it.) 3. Finally I use it to rescue other wayward birds like the house sparrow.

You don’t have to get so close, and once they are in the net they generally go limp. You can then close off the open end of the net, and carefully transport the bird to its proper enclosure or outside as the case may be.

Might be worth the investment if this happens enough that you have a bird rescue towel.

It was very nice of the little guy to hide in the trash!

Thanks for a great start to the day, Kate.
