Box for swifts type no. 17B

Delivery date upon request!

Model with enlarged incubation chamber

The common swift's survival in our towns and cities is now threatened, where it occupies niches and cavities in a wide variety of buildings. These spaces are often destroyed, blocked, or at least rendered uninhabitable through building renovations or new construction. We can very successfully remedy this situation by providing alternative nesting sites.

This bird species prefers to live in smaller colonies, therefore the installation of several nesting aids 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 subsequent installation on 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 hives can be cleaned after removing the entrance rosette. To do this, rotate the entrance 90° (entrance hole vertical) and remove it.
Cleaning is generally not necessary for swifts. Swift nests are always built in the darkest corner of the roost and farther from the entrance hole.
