🐦 Since 1970, chimney swift populations have declined by 90%. Once nesting in hollow trees, chimney swifts adapted to city life — raising their young in chimneys after forests were cleared. But as old chimneys disappear and insect populations decline, these agile flyers are losing both homes and food. Their story shows how even resilient species can struggle when habitats — and the species they depend on — vanish. Learn more in our #LPRC2025: wwf.ca/lprc2025 | WWF-Canada

You can’t miss the sounds of chimney swifts! 📢 These young birds need extra care - feedings every hour and a half to be exact. We are thankful to have a staff member dedicated to taking care of these delicate birds. Have you ever seen a chimney swift’s nest? Chimney swift parents build a half-cup of loosely woven twigs, cemented together and to the wall of a chimney (or any other vertical structure) with their glue-like saliva! They are pretty swift and savvy builders. 🧱 | Conservancy of South
