rooster eviction?

[csgray]

Any suggestions on how to get a neighbor's rooster to move back into his own yard? Part of our lot is currently pretty overgrown and a rooster with a death wish flew over our neighbor's fence into our lot yesterday. We thought he had gone home this morning, but just discovered he is holed up in the most overgrown part of the yard (tall grass, vine, weeds and thick trees.

We have 3 predator dogs, one of whom came to us already chicken obsessed and 2 sisters who haven't discovered chickens yet, but as a hunting team are hell on rats, lizards, frogs, mice, and mongoose, and would become thoroughly chicken obsessed if they ever got one.

Right now we are keeping the chicken killing dog inside or tied up, and the other two inside, I tried beating the bush where he's hiding in hopes of flushing him out, but no luck. I do not want my 2 chicken virgins to discover the pleasures of chicken killing, and I can't keep all my dogs inside forever, so I really want to make this suicidal rooster go home. Any ideas that don't involve firearms or just letting the dogs get it?
