Bird in the chimney of my stove - what to do

    We have a stove in the living room, with a metal chimney that is visible for about 1-2 feet above the stove (then disappears into stonework).
    Since yesterday there has been a lot of noise coming from it, which i can only guess must be a bird. I presume it came down the chimney and now cannot get out.
    I would like to help it, but short of getting somebody to take out the chimney i have no idea how.
    Two questions:
    - Is there any relatively easy way that i can get it out of there?
    - If not, and it dies in there, will it leave a terrible smell and will it be impossible to light a fire there afterwards?

    All grand. I opened the chimney and it flew into the fireplace (why didn’t I think of that before I made the post!). Then I let it out the window.
