Chimney Swift Noises in Your Home

Описание: Chimney swifts are migratory birds found throughout North, South, and Central America. The bird's common name comes from its habit of nesting in chimneys. They travel in flocks of thousands and migrate in the late summer and early spring. Chimney swifts become problematic when their nests interfere with the use of chimneys.

Common chimney swift sounds primarily consist of a twittering call produced by a series of rapid, high-pitched chirps. Each call lasts about three seconds. In groups, the chirping can sound like buzzing insects. When their colonies are disturbed, adult chimneys swifts slap their wings together to create a loud booming noise, while nestlings make raspy sounds.
