Some birds are just dumb

I'm thinking at this point that, though I'd love to have the basement done first — giving me the kitchen I'd really like to have — I might just be searching out someone do the chimney to the fireplace in our master bedroom. I'm getting just a bit tired of the birds that are stupid enough to get stuck behind the board that covers the opening.
Thankfully the previous owner had fitted a nicely framed board into the fireplace in the bedroom and livingroom otherwise we might have sparrows flitting around inside the house while we are all at work and school! The flapping wings, the chirping at 2 in the morning. I haven't worked out a reasonable way to get them out of there either. I'm not up for having the blasted things flapping and flopping all over my bedroom if I pull that large fitted board away from the fireplace.
Drat, the stupid thing is chirping again, probably due to it being night and the fact that I have a light on in the room. So, off with the light.
The chimney to the bedroom is the shortest chimney, internally, on the house since the fireplace is on the second floor. Hopefully that means it will be the least expensive overall to have cleaned, lined and capped to keep the pesky birds out of my bedroom!
