Bird Stuck Behind Plasterboard

Property & Home
1

Just heard numerous scratching noises coming from behind the plasterboard in our kitchen.

The other day my wife saw birds up by the eaves where it looks like there is a gap.

I suspect that a bird has fallen into the gap between the stone walls and the plasterboard and has now fallen down 5-6 metres to the level of the kitchen.

I really don’t want to start making random holes in the plasterboard, especially as we are going on holiday in less than a week.

Any suggestions?

If it is a bird, there’s probably not a lot you can do. Had one stuck behind my bedroom wall (closed off chimney) and it went on for a few days, then stopped.
However, if there is any possibility it is mice, make sure you cover/enclose anything edible in the kitchen so that you don’t come back from holiday and find they’ve made a right mess…

That’s sad.
