Have you noticed birds building their nests in chimney pots, under solar panels or in the eaves of your house?
May is a critical time for birds nesting, especially pigeons, magpies, jackdaws and seagulls. You may wish to act quickly to ensure the situation is managed effectively and thoroughly.
Jackdaws nesting in chimneys
Chimneys are very popular spaces for Jackdaws to nest and their nesting season is from April to July. They typically drop lots of different types of debris down the chimney to make their nest, from mud and hair to cloth and sticks.
So, if you find any of these things in your fireplace the chances are you have a bird’s nest in your chimney. A good way to check is to watch the top of the chimney for bird activity. You’ll probably notice this first!
If you do have a nest in your chimney, it needs to be removed before colder weather comes in when a wood burner or gas fire will be used more. A bird’s nest in your chimney is dangerous because it blocks the top of the flue, which can mean that dangerous gases can’t escape safely. Nests can also damage the brickwork in your chimney, which makes your building structure less safe and can become expensive. Bird nests like this need to be removed by a professional and we are on hand to remove birds and nests humanely and sensitively, as well as give advice where needed.
Pigeons under solar panels
Pigeons can nest in any nook or area that feels protected. They are very fond of solar panels, as they are warm and cosy options for nesting. The problem with this is that birds are noisy, causing a real nuisance. Their moving around the panels can also cause circuits to break, their foul can be corrosive and on top of this, their nesting can attract mites and potentially rodents to your property.
