When birds build nests inside of vents, the resulting bird debris can block the air flow, which can lead to dryer inefficiency and overheating. Furthermore, the flammable nature of the materials used in bird nests can also cause a fire hazard. Fortunately, there are ways to detect signs that a bird has built a nest in your vent. If you notice that your dryer isn’t working as well or you hear chirping coming from the vent, you can contact a wildlife specialist to remove the nest.

Most often, birds build nests in bath fan vents, kitchen vents, and higher bathroom vents. European starlings and English sparrows are the most common birds that nest in these types of vents. These birds are “cavity nesting” species, which means they like to make their nests in holes and crevices such as trees, freeway signs, or, more often, in uncovered vents.
 
 The squawking and chirping of the birds in the vent can be very disruptive for those living in the house, especially after the chicks hatch. Additionally, the birds and their feces can contaminate the vent and surrounding area with bacteria and parasites. These parasites can be very dangerous for people, particularly those with weakened immune systems. Salmonellosis, histoplasmosis, and other respiratory diseases can be contracted through exposure to bird droppings.
