Imagine a bird that spends almost its entire life in flight, eating, drinking, sleeping and even mating, before it disappears into our dark chimneys at night. Today we are uncovering the secrets of an urban icon, the chimney swift, one of our most understudied bird species. 

Why do they fly into chimneys? Why are they threatened? Can fake chimneys provide the answer? And how can you help? All questions we'll answer in this episode of Wild About Wildlife. So glad you could join us!
