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.

It would just fall to the damper from what I can tell.

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.

Apparently the bird dows not know about the aerodynamics of lift. It is
too busy flying in and out. Yep, hear the wings flapping.

There should be a cleanout at the bottom.
Clean out ash and old bones and then go get a cover for the chimney.
