How Can You Help the Chimney Swift?
- If your house has a chimney, keep the top open and the damper closed from April to October to protect the nests.
- Construct a faux chimney to replace an aging or degraded chimney.
- Delay your annual chimney cleaning until fall when young birds have left the nest.
