Okay,
This is a bit disgusting, yes even for me.. but I need help.
We have had this really annoying starling, in our house for about five days. We caught it twice after it flew in the house through an open doorway. We released it and it came back. I know what is this bird thinking? I bet he likes the warmth but if he only knew that he was a snack in our home...
Anyhow Lunch the cat isn't very phased by the intruder, probably because he grew up with things moving around all over the house.
So there is this bird......
Well now there is this smell.....
It is in the bathroom where the bird would fly into a hole (where a pipe leads) into the floor. We haven't seen or heard the bird for two days now, and the smell is horrific. Yes sadly I know what dead smells like. But this time I cannot clean it, It is driving me mad. Since we rent I am not comphtorable ripping the bathroom floor up. And since this is a very very old house (built in the 1790's) there is nothing but wood and dust between my down stairs neighbors ceiling and our floor. So lord knows how far my sad feathered friend went.
So, what to do..
Any ideas. Best one I've got is to borrow the shop vac from work and try and suck it out (yuck).
Anyone have any ideas, I've got to get this smell out. It is killing me.
At least when we are home I can light my yankee candle that is in there (christmas cookies, haven't smelt it yet, it is the best, anyhoo) that helps, but I can'y leave it burning 24/7.
And I don't want flies or bugs .
What to do...
Any ideas would be so much appreciated.
Thanks for reading my yucky dead bird situation..
