Q. How do you know birds are nesting in your chimney ?
Sounds of chirping coming from the fireplace inside your house sometimes you may see birds going in and out of your chimney. Other signs include loose debris falling into your fireplace, twigs, you may see droppings in the hearth.
A nasty smell coming from your fireplace, or your fire is producing more smoke than usual which is coming into the room.

Q. Can you smoke birds out of a chimney ?
No, this is a very bad idea! Please, Please don’t try to light a fire hoping that the smoke will cause the birds to leave the chimney it just will not happen. The smoke will be unable to escape past the nest and it will roll back down the chimney and fill your room, the toxic and harmful carbon monoxide gas will not be able escape either. There is a risk the chimney itself could catch fire.
