No one online seems to want to talk at all. People in my age seem to lose the ability to talk.

What happens if we all forget how to have a deep or entertaining conversations?

You hold one hand on either side of the bird, fingers pointing to the ground, and very gently cusp them around it.
When you have a hold on it, turn your hands upwards, so the bird "lies on its back".
That makes birds go quiet for some reason.

Oh! Thanks :) I'm trying to imagine this in the situation when they are flapping their wings trying to get out through a closed window. The next time it happens I'll try to get it so it lies on its back.
