There was no screen cover on this HUD Wreck I've been working on and I
failed to put one on right after getting it. I hear an adult bird in
there now. Goes in and out. It's a straight shot up.
Will smoking em with some newspaper and maybe pinecones get em to vacate
a bit while I run up and put a cover on ya think? Don't wanna really
light a regular fire since it's been hovering around 100 the past 10
days if ya know what I mean.
Please, no cracks about bats in my belfry :-)
If you do the smoke routine, the birds may die from CO poisoning and fall
into the chimney. Can't imagine how a bird could be expected to fly out
of a chimney. There's not enough space to get wings flapping and create
the needed lift. There should be a cleanout at the bottom. Clean out
ash and old bones and then go get a cover for the chimney.
