Birds in vents are one of the most common spring and summer calls we get in Virginia. Bathroom vents and dryer vents are especially attractive because they are warm, protected, and easy to use if the exterior cover is weak or missing.

Why Birds Choose Vents
Birds like vents because they offer:
- shelter from weather
- a protected nesting cavity
- a quiet place to raise young
Starlings are especially common in vents.
Signs of Bird Activity in a Vent
Watch for:
- chirping
- fluttering in a wall or ceiling
- nesting material sticking out of the vent
- weak dryer or bathroom exhaust airflow
- droppings near the exterior vent hood
The Best Ways to Prevent Vent Nesting
- install proper vent guards
- replace damaged vent covers
- inspect vents each spring
- act quickly when activity first appears
