Critter in our ducts

THE PLOT THICKENS!
We heard it rumbling around and were sure he was caught in the trap. So we pulled up the vent cover and viola!
It was a Grackle!!!
How the heck a Grackle got into our heating ducts I will have to investigate.
Well, I wasn’t going to whack an innocent bird’s head with a hammer, so I took him outside and poured vegetable oil on the trap, which dissolves the glue. After a few minutes he was mostly loose and flapping, I used the string to pull the trap off his last talon and away he went…on foot. He’s got some oil on him and I hope he can shake it off eventually, but he managed to get himself over the fence to some shelter so he may be ok.

If a bird pulls a stunt like that in my house he probably won't survive.
I like birds and everything, but he probably just wouldn't make it.

Never had grackle.
You fry them or make a gumbo?
