Default Caught a bird inside lower grill

Hello everyone. I caught a bird in the lower front grill. It went through the grill cracking it a little bit. How do I remove it? I've read that the only way to remove the lower grill is to cut it out. Is it possible to access it by lifting up the car for eg. or the only way is to remove the front bumper?

If anyone had the same experience let me know

RIP little birdy.

No I have not experience that yet I best way to remove that bird to give its proper burial is removing the bumper.

I was able to remove the bird by taking off top plastic under the hood. But I have skinny arms otherwise you won't be able to reach bottom behind the lower grill where the bird was located.

Ty for replying.
