Oh yes we opened the window before opening the stove and he flew straight out in one swoop
off to tell his friends all he heard during his eves dropping session 
Oh wow! An owl in the bathroom!! Lol that must have been some experienceI often get sparrows flying in my back door. Had to shoo one out a couple of days ago. I have also had an owl fly in a couple of times during the night. One spent the night in my bathroom on the shower curtain rod. Was flying around the kitchen at 3am and upsetting the dogs. Got him into the bathroom and went back to bed until a reasonable hour in the morning to let him back outside.
