A pigeon coming down the chimney and landing on the braai is not how anyone wants to start a weekend. 🍗🥩+🐦=🚫
That is what had been happening at a home in Kingswood Golf Estate in George. Pigeons were getting into two open chimneys, and once inside a bird can slip down into the flue and cannot get back out. It ends up in the fireplace, or dead somewhere in the flue.
The bigger issue is what they leave behind. Nest material packed into a chimney is dry twigs and feathers sitting directly above a fire you are about to light. It can also block the flue, which pushes smoke back into the house.
We closed off both chimneys. No more birds in the flue, and the chimneys can draw properly.
If your chimney is open at the top, it is worth a look. Every chimney should be bird proofed, and most people only find out theirs is not when something comes down it. 🔥
We also proof solar panels, roofs, ledges and large buildings against pigeons, starlings and sparrows, with guarantees up to 8 years.
