They occasionally remove multiple carcases from a single flue. Old unused fireplaces that have been blocked at the bottom\u00a0 but left open at the top are particularly deadly. Gavin added: &#8220;If it&#8217;s a live chimney the bird may escape from the fireplace at the bottom, or maybe a sweep will rescue it. It&#8217;s only really jackdaws that are capable of getting themselves back out the top.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unnecessary bird deaths can be prevented by fitting proper bird guards and chimney caps where appropriate. Guild technical director Steven Howard said: &#8220;It is very important that the correct design of guard is fitted. Always use a professional chimney sweep or fireplace installer. They know what is safe to fit and how to fit it properly. Never use homemade devices and never push mesh into the top of a chimney, it can be dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help stop the suffering and promote National Bird Guard Week. Contact your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/\">local professional sweep<\/a> for the correct advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bird guards will also stop the nuisance of nesting jackdaws and many designs will keep the worst of the rain out. Some caps for unused chimneys have a special screen that not only stops birds but bees and wasps too. If unexplained swarms of flies suddenly appear in your room one day, there&#8217;s probably a dead bird in your chimney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replace damaged guards &#8211; your local professional sweep will give good advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"11661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Damaged-bird-guard-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Damaged bird guard\" class=\"wp-image-11661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Damaged-bird-guard-1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Damaged-bird-guard-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Damaged-bird-guard-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"11662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Very damaged guard\" class=\"wp-image-11662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Very-damaged-guard-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see some great pictures of nests and other items found in chimney&#8217;s in this article: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/nests-in-your-chimney-can-be-a-big-problem\/\">Nests in your chimney can be a BIG problem<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"265\" height=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Owl-in-a-Chimney.jpg\" alt=\"Owl in a Chimney\" class=\"wp-image-7746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Owl-in-a-Chimney.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.findachimneysweep.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Owl-in-a-Chimney-178x300.jpg 178w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please support National Bird Guard Week.
