Have Chimney Swifts in Your Chimney? If you have Chimney Swifts nesting in your chimney in Houston, Texas, don’t worry! These amazing birds are only temporary guests. Chimney Swifts typically stay in their nesting sites until late summer to early fall, after which they will migrate to South America. These birds play a crucial role in controlling insect populations and are a protected species. If you find Chimney Swifts in your chimney, it's best to let them be. They'll be gone before you know it

🐦 Since 1970, chimney swift populations have declined by 90%. Once nesting in hollow trees, chimney swifts adapted to city life — raising their young in chimneys after forests were cleared. But as old chimneys disappear and insect populations decline, these agile flyers are losing both homes and food. Their story shows how even resilient species can struggle when habitats — and the species they depend on — vanish. Learn more in our #LPRC2025: wwf.ca/lprc2025 | WWF-Canada
