Default Need Help Removing Front Bird Cover

A couple of weeks ago, I got pulled over for tint, that led to also citing me for my plates not being shown on front. So now I need help on removing front bird (Plate) cover. I tried pulling the plate out but It felt as if I were going to break it. Can anyone help me on this one? thanks in advance. (btw, Its an 02 TA.)
