About

Details

It is increasingly difficult for Swallows and House Martins to find suitable nest-building material in our modern world. The mud they do find, if any, is often poor quality. In addition, the walls of buildings are nowadays often very smooth. As a result, nests tend to fall down, sometimes with the nestlings inside. In many places, the vibration caused by heavy vehicles shakes the nests loose.

Swallows are popular birds and are regarded as the bringers of good luck. They feed on flying insects such as swarms of greenfly, crane flies, mosquitoes and houseflies. They prefer to hunt in the immediate vicinity of their nesting sites

Advantages of SCHWEGLER-nests:
Unlimited life
Breathable material ensures a balanced temperature
Easy to clean and inspect
Vibration does not dislodge them
Swallows can occupy the nests as soon as they return from their winter quarters in Africa

Specifications

Siting & positioning:
These nesting aids are installed singly. Although Barn Swallows are sociable birds, the nests should not be placed directly adjacent to one another but at intervals of approximately 1 m.

Swallow

Bowl-shaped nest made of air-permeable wood-concrete and a backing board made of exterior grade, formaldehyde-free chipboard to prevent warping.

Q: I have swallows nesting inside a barn, is this right or should I try to move them?

A: No, it just means they are probably barn swallows. It is important that they have access to the nest during the breeding period eg through an open window,door or ventilation pipe.
