Description
Nest for swifts No. 18
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.
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 under eaves of all types of buildings, e.g., residential buildings, industrial buildings, churches, road structures, walls, or even rock faces. Please only use on weather-protected roof overhangs.
Cleaning & inspection:
This is straightforward, as the entire nest is pulled directly out of the mounting plate. After insertion, the nest is locked back into place using angled screws.
