We have a parking garage with a few windows in its corners (fucking incompetent design) and birds will often get confused / trapped by the windows.
I will ALWAYS stop and help get them out but sliding a folder / book under them and moving them to an opening.
What’s interesting is that the birds always allow me to help. Perhaps it’s because they’re just exhausted, or perhaps they really understand that I’m trying to help them. I do not know.
Them being compliant is a defensive behavior called freezing. If they get hurt fighting you, they won’t be able to escape, so they’re waiting to see what you are going to do before they decide if fighting is worth the risk.

Exactly like me in the biker bar.
You’ve got the idea!
