Description
House martin nest no. 9B
Nesting aid for house martins (building nesters)
As an alternative to the house martin nest No. 9A, the double house martin nest No. 9B was developed, featuring nesting cups made of breathable Schwegler wood-concrete and a multiplex angled board. In this house martin nest, the entrances are positioned slightly to the side (as in No. 9A).
The hatching cups can be easily removed and inserted thanks to the metal clamp holder.
House martins are very sociable birds, so nests built in pairs are more readily accepted. They love being close to their fellow house martins.
Important: Please do not treat the nesting trays to fully maintain breathability for successful breeding. We supply the wooden parts of nest no. 9B untreated. Although not strictly necessary, pretreating the corner board with wax, stain, or (facade) paint before installation is recommended to minimize discoloration from weathering.
Installation:
Under eaves and always on the exterior walls of buildings. House martins do not nest inside buildings. Please ensure the nesting site is on the side of the building sheltered from the prevailing weather.
Hanging height:
At least 2 m
Cleaning and inspection:
Usable for years without mandatory cleaning. However, it is recommended to check the nests more frequently if possible and clean them if necessary. The nest trays can be removed individually for cleaning.
