Swifts are remarkable birds that spend almost their entire lives in flight. In fact, they can remain airborne for months at a time without landing.
They only land to breed and before they can breed, Swifts must find a suitable nesting site - a challenge today, as their natural nesting places are rapidly disappearing.
They are colony breeders. It's therefore advisable to hang four or more swift houses near to each other.
This nesting box provides the perfect solution, offering Swifts a safe, ideal place to raise their young. Once a Swift establishes a nest here, the same pair will return year after year.
The box features a durable zinc roof and a convenient side door for easy inspection and cleaning. Can be put up at anytime as it will be used by overwintering insects, but should certainly be in position before Swifts return in May.
The box was purchased as a gift for a house that is surrounded by swifts every year.
It was given in the original packaging, so I did not see it until it was opened.
Whilst I doubt the swifts will care, the construction of the box was poor.
The box has gone to France, regrettably it did not occur to me to take photographs on the day.
I would not buy another.
