This fall we have had the good fortune of having
a displaced parrot (probably an escaped pet) feeding in our
crabapple tree. I am doubtful whether it
can weather the Chicago winter, and
would like to capture it for a friend
who would properly care for it.
Are there any suggestions on how one can 
capture such an animal without harming it?
My last resort would be to stun it with a slingshot,
thus enabling me to capture it in a net.
