They might fly through an open window or take advantage of a wide open door. Warehouses 
and large stores have a tendency to allow Greensboro birds within their walls due to the many opportunities 
birds have to get inside. It is possible for a bird to enter into any building if given access. 
One such bird that can get trapped inside a building is a North Carolina hawk. If a hawk has found its way inside 
your building, you will need to take action quickly to remove it.
A Greensboro hawk may get stuck within a building when it stays in its rafters and is unwilling or unable to fly 
away. Birds trapped in a building do have the instinct to go up and up, and they do not realize that 
they can go down to reach the exit.  When the North Carolina hawk gets stuck in a building, it will be distressed. 
The best way for you to catch a North Carolina bird is using a mist net. The net uses thin materials and the bird 
will not see it, so it will fly in it and get stuck. Hawks are normally alert, so it can be futile 
to try catching them. When the hawk is in the house, you should turn off the lights and cover the 
windows and let only one window be opened wide to let the birds out.  After some time the Greensboro bird may 
go out of the window.  When the bird refuses to go out, you may then try to use a large sheet to 
chase it out. You should not hit it using a towel or broom since you may end up injuring the bird.
 
If a Greensboro hawk enters inside your building, it can be a quite difficult project to remove it, especially 
if the bird is distressed and flying as high as it possibly can. However, if you use the suggestions 
mentioned above, you should be able to successfully and safely remove the hawk from the building. If 
all else fails, you can call in a North Carolina professional wildlife removal specialist to take care of the removal 
for you. If a hawk enters your building, you will want to take action as quickly as possible to avoid 
any damage the hawk may cause with its droppings.
