?Hi Perry yes it’s illegal to knock down an active nest but there shouldn’t be any swallows in nests this late it’s not impossible but most have long fledged by now.

If the swallows are out of the nests and fledged like I am

Guessing it’s perfectly legal to knock it down. If babies are inside they are breaking the migratory birds convention act and you can report them to the feds and they would be fined. Let me know if birds are truly in the nest and I’ll send who to report it too make sure they have photos and proof there is birds in the nest this late as it would be highly unusual

?Contacted by a friend who has been

monitoring swallow nests in a PoCo park. The city is about to knock down the structure where the active nests are located.

Are there any relevant provincial or federal statutes that would prevent this, and if so who would he talk to?

Thanks,
