Baby bird trapped in my fireplace! NEW ADVICE!

I figured it out at I dunno, 4 or 5 in the morning? Mine has a Pull thing, inside, and you have to open the vent to let whatever fall into the fire pit. It does have glass doors as well.

But by time I finally figured this part out, I was covered in soot that was up in the shaft of the fireplace. I pulled down the lever, and it opened, but appearently, the bird was so scared, it found its way out I felt all around and looked inside with a flashlight, but no bird!

After all that, I was just glad it got out and did not die. Poor bird. Getting that hole in the screen fixed, and NO MORE bread for the birdies! BUT the bird bath can stay, they love it too much to take away

Wanted to add: It is not completely open once the lever opens. It has sides on the inside, where a bird could stand, without coming through. I hope this makes sense
