Call the local Forestry & Wildlife Dept. office near you. They'll most be able to get the birds out of your chimney properly and help you cap it so that no others can get there.
I'm pretty sure you can find them in the Yellow Pages, they are a branch of the govt.
One of our best friends is a Forester.

try a wildlife rehab in your area. Vets and the humane society in your area may have some phone numbers on file for you to call. Try to close off your chimney before next spring so this will not happen again.

Check this out: http://www.chimneyswifts.org/page22.html
There are screens that you can put around your chimney to prevent the birds from nesting there.

well.. I don't know how to get them out of there.. but to keep them out of there... put a screen or something on top of your chimney so nothing can get down there.
