This happened to my brother but I can't remember how he sorted it.

I don't think just anybody can take a gas fire off the wall.

Be careful.

We had the same problem, just loosened the fire and move it very slightly so there was a little gap. We didn't have to disconnect the gas.

We then closed all the curtains bar one where we left a window open, went out of the room and when we came back the bird had gone.

Just make sure it has got out before you screw it back.
All gas fires are different but your boyfriend should know if this is possible.

Good luck with it.

I came too late.

Was gonna say: turn the fire on full. The heat and rising thermal air will both encourage the bird to fly bck up the chimney and provide an upward air current to assist it.

Probably Ninja
