3. Or you could call the center and see if they have suggestions

if the titmouse is still there tomorrow. I don't really know what this center does, but they should have information for you. Call and find out what they do before you try to get the bird, since there is no way to know what is wrong over the internet and helping you help the bird would be hard.

The only other suggestion I could give is a very long shot....put something like a box with towels or something that the bird can hide in, since a sick bird will often try to hide, and if it does go in, you might be able to catch it without it being able to fly away before you get there. I would have one towel ready to put down over it to trap the bird in there without injury. Once it is dark and quiet, the bird will be settled down. I don't hold out hope for this, but catching a bird that can fly will not happen.

I found a better site for Blue Ridge Wildlife Center and it is just what I thought. Has good advice too.
