Birds in Chimney Removal

In Illinois, it is illegal to remove or disturb live birds or active nests (those containing eggs or chicks) under both state and federal law. Chimney swifts, a common migratory bird in our area, are federally protected and typically nest in chimneys between May and August.

Chimney Bird Nest Management – Illinois-Compliant Services

We do not remove live birds or active nests. Once the nesting season concludes—usually by late September—and the birds have naturally vacated, it becomes legal and safe to remove inactive nests. This is the optimal time to schedule chimney cleaning and install a properly fitted chimney cap to prevent future nesting.

Our team ensures all work is conducted legally and respectfully, prioritizing the safety of your home and the protection of wildlife.
