We seem to have birds nesting in our chimney (again). It's a swallow, of some sort, probably either a cliff or violet-green; I see them flying around at dusk, so can't make out colors. We had them many years ago, could hear the babies demanding food from their parents during the day, but it's been a while.

They're perfectly safe. We never burn anything in the fireplace, and even if the cats had a clue what's up there, the glass fireplace does will keep them indoors (and the birdies safely out).

I grew up with barn swallows nesting in the old barn on the farm. This brings back pleasant memories.

I always loved the barn swallows in our two barns - my grandmother parked under cover in the one near the house, and always used to drape old sheets & tablecloths over her 63 Impala, so keep off the droppings. part of any drive was throwing them in the trunk first

I loved one of our barns for that reason.
