Enough to make them leave?  I'm in our bottom garage working today.  Trying to make room to put one of the older cars down there to make room for the new car in the upper garage.
Anyway, there is a bird trapped in there.  I guess it got in via the cat door?
I've opened both doors on the garage.  Yet it is still flying around in the rafters.  I notice when I walk towards the area it is in.  It flies. 
So, is there a way to make it figure out how to fly through the doors and to freedom?
I've used the broom trying to urge it...etc..already.  No luck yet.

good ideas, might want to add a few other small piles leading away from the garage, might entice him to walk away rather than fly back in.

Let the creature calm down and wait, it may fly out seeking the light and freedom. Oh, you as it sees is a predator, you want to be away so it cannot see or sense you

1- Buy a monkey, I suggest a capuchin.
2-Teach the capuchin to do bird calls(I hear they are reeeeally smart, so this shouldn't be difficult)
3-Teach the monkey how to do the "moonwalk"(why? because it would be COOL as FUCK, that's why)
4-Instruct the monkey to go into the garage and sooth the bird with it's melodic warbling............... creep up on that little birdy bastard with a tennis racket...........WHACK THAT SUCKER, and move on with your life!!!!!!
5-Problem solved.Plus,afterwards you will have a cool as hell monkey that moonwalks and bircalls!

you're welcome-OD

Exactly correct. Just leave the door open, make sure everyone leaves the area, peeps, dogs, cats, etc., and let nature take it's course. The birdt will mosst likely find its way out, if you don't continue to scare the shit out of it.
