My chimney is protected by a spark arrestor so no chimney swifts. Barn swallows on the other hand are a pain in the arse. They build mud nests on top of the columns on the front porch. Some people put pool noodles cut up..on top of the area to block them. Damn birds move the noodles. Crafty bitches. Another company makes a nest of needle like structures to block nest makers.

I've been lucky...ever since I pressure washed the first one off...all I've had is doves making stick/grass nests. I can clean those up...plus that helps the hunting out!



Be careful to admit to a federal violation on a public forum

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – Wildcat Concrete Services, Inc. ("Wildcat"), a Kansas corporation, has paid $372,750 to the North American Wetlands Conservation Fund as part of a non-prosecution agreement with the United States arising from the destruction of cliff swallow nests during a bridge repair project, announced Sanford C. Coats, United States Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma. In addition, Richard Lee Pool, 54, of Osage City, Kansas, an employee of Wildcat, pled guilty yesterday to one misdemeanor count of violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

Nature's best mosquito control. I have two chimneys full. Awesome aerial display in afternoon/evening.


I think these are all good points. Seriously watching these birds come into the chimney at night is like watching the busiest airport in the world on steroids. It is cool watching them come down to go in and then peel off because some a-hole cut them off...pretty funny.

However, it can't be understated the annoyance when you are sitting in your living room trying to watch a game on Saturday afternoon and the damn birds are drowning out the sound of the TV.

It wasn't an active nest when I washed it off. All little ones had vacated the nest.
