Product - Description

Renovation of older houses means that many of the swifts preferred nesting spots, such as under roofs, in attics or behind tiles are often blocked, so that they cannot find sufficient nesting sites.

The Schwegler 17 swift box can help this species by providing valuable nesting opportunities and the installation of several units is the ideal way to support a swift colony. These boxes have been used across Europe with great success for many decades.

The Swift Box No. 17 is made from a blend of compressed plant fibres and concrete for good insulation and long life. The box is a natural grey colour but can be painted to match your exterior if required using an air-permeable paint.

Two fixing brackets and screws/plugs are included. Please check for suitability of the mounting material provided.
