Chimney Bird and Swift Removal
Scratching and chirping in the fireplace usually means a bird or a nest in the flue. Chimney swifts are protected and can be nesting in summer. We handle every situation with care and finish by capping the chimney so the problem does not return.

Common questions
Is it safe to light a fire with a bird inside?
No. Please do not light the fireplace until the chimney is cleared. Smoke can harm the bird and block the flue with nest material.
What is a chimney swift?
A small bird that nests inside chimneys in summer and is protected in many places. If swifts are nesting, we explain what is allowed and the best time for a cap.
