Swift nest box type no. 17A (3-fold)

Triple swift nest box type no. 17A

This model offers three independent nesting chambers for three swift families. The common swift's survival in our towns and cities is now threatened. Building renovations and new construction often destroy, block, or at least render nesting sites uninhabitable. We can very successfully remedy this situation by providing alternative nesting sites. This bird species prefers to live in small colonies, so installing several nesting boxes is recommended.
You can easily match the color of our nesting boxes to your house facade using breathable facade paint. Please be sure to look for the term "breathable." The lightweight boxes of type No. 17 are particularly suitable for retrofitting onto exterior facades.

Installation:
Minimum height below the entrance: 6 to 7 meters above ground level. Please ensure unobstructed access for takeoff and landing. Installing several nesting boxes to encourage colony formation is advantageous.
Suitable mounting locations: On exterior facades or near the roof of buildings of all kinds, e.g., on residential buildings, industrial buildings, churches, road structures, walls or even rock faces. Where possible, avoid direct, all-day sunlight.

Cleaning & inspection:
Type 17 nest boxes can be cleaned after removing the entrance rosette. To do this, rotate the entrance 90° (entrance hole vertical) and remove it. However, cleaning is generally not necessary for swifts. Swift nests are always built in the darkest corner of the roost and away from the entrance hole.
