The lightweight nesting box is ideal for inclusion in heat insulation systems on your external walls.
Key Features:
- Protruding, ring-shaped perch at the entrance enables the box to be easily installed flush with the wall surface, leaving only the entrance visible
- The design makes the approach much easier for swifts, even if the external wall is a smooth surface
- Can be mounted with the entrance hole on the left or the right
Occupant: Common Swift.
Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.
MATERIAL: Woodcrete
DIMENSIONS (MM): 340 x 135 x 150 plus 17 mm for the protruding entrance ring.
WEIGHT (KG): 2.7
SPECIES: Common Swift
SITING: under or close to roofs, at least 5 m from ground on a sheltered side. When installing ensure free access below the hole for birds entering or leaving the box. Several boxes can be placed in a group because Swifts tend to live in colonies. The box can be mounted with the entrance hole on the left or the right.
MAINTENANCE: No aperture for cleaning is provided because this is not essential if the box is occupied by Swifts.
