That fluttering, chattering sound in the chimney every summer is almost always chimney swifts - migratory birds that arrive in Louisville from South America each spring and nest inside masonry chimneys from May through August. Louisville's older neighborhoods, with their unlined brick chimneys, host thousands of swifts each season.
Chimney swifts are federally protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act: active nests cannot be removed, period. The lawful fix is patience plus prevention - once the young fledge and the birds migrate in late summer, we clean the chimney and install a properly fitted chimney cap so they can't return next April. We handle the timing and compliance so you don't accidentally break federal law.
