Description
Expertly designed Swift Nest Box
Support swift populations with this purpose-built, durable Swift Nest Box. The simple yet robust design can be deployed on almost any building.
Common Swifts prefer to access their nest cavities with a final upward swoop on the approach flight path, especially where there are telephone cables or equivalent that make a horizontal approach to the nest potentially hazardous, as well as dropping down into flight when leaving the nest to gain flight speed rapidly. With that in mind, the entrance to this box is sited on the underside, near the mounting wall to cater for these preferences. Additionally, a small grip ladder below the entrance provides securing footing for birds when alighting.
As swifts tend to nest colonially, it is recommended that multiple boxes should be sited under different faces of a property, as different individuals display varied preferences for approach flight paths and nest aspects.
