Took me 6 hours to clean a single chimney because nobody mentioned the bird nest behind the damper

Old house in Portland, customer said it was a simple sweep. Got up there, everything looked normal. Pulled the brush through, nothing. Then I noticed the damper wouldn't close all the way. Had to drop a camera in and sure enough, there was a nest shoved way back behind the damper ledge. Took forever to fish it out piece by piece with a hooked rod. I was cussing the whole time. Has anyone else found a nest in a spot you couldn't see from either end?

Found a possum wedged behind a flue once, took two days to get it out.

Ha! @nina834 I feel your pain, at least yours didn't need tweezers and patience.
