Swifts are uniquely adapted to life on the wing and hunt flying insects, often in screeching flocks, and can remain in the air for long periods without landing.

The Schwegler number 18 swift nest box is constructed from woodcrete on a formaldehyde-free chipboard backing. Installation of several nesting boxes units will assist the rapid formation of swift colonies.

Easy to install under overhanging eaves and easy slide out option to clean when necessary. When the nest part is replaced, the nest is locked back into position using the angled nails.

As the chipboard is moisture resistant but not weatherproof, these boxes should always be installed in a sheltered site, such as under overhanging eaves. 

Siting & Positioning:
At least 6 to 7 m above the ground. Please ensure unobstructed access for birds entering and leaving the box. High up on external walls under eaves of buildings of all kinds, including churches and industrial buildings, preferably under the shelter of eaves or overhanging roofs. Can also be successfully installed on steep rock faces. A clear distance (drop) below the box is recommended, preferably 5 m or more. Please install in sheltered placed under overhanging roofs.

Cleaning and Inspection:
The entire nest can be removed from the frame. When it is replaced the nest is locked back into position using the angled nails.

Helpful – Caring – Responsible

When Sean McMenemy started Noah’s Ark Wildlife Gardens as a landscaping business back in 1991, little did he know what a huge impact he was to make on the bird feeding and garden wildlife industries over the following decades.

Over 30-years later he still brings the same passion for garden wildlife to work every day, so it’s no wonder we’re so highly respected. Our expertise lies in providing carefully selected natural food and products that offer significant benefits to wildlife – with the type of customer service only true enthusiasm for our subject can bring.

Meeting a demand for natural, nutritious wildlife food

In those early days, Sean constantly received requests for help in making his clients’ natural gardens more wildlife friendly. Requests for bird food encouraged Sean to research bird feeding, and at that time he found problems in the market with quality and service. He knew then the only way forward was to create his own natural, nutritious range of wildlife food and present it in a way which benefited both the wildlife and the customer. Ark Wildlife was born.

The company has steadily grown since those early days, now standing as one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of bird food and garden wildlife products, despatching over 500 parcels per day across the United Kingdom.

Exceptional service, because we care more than we can put into words

No matter how large our business is now, Ark Wildlife aims to combine the convenience of an online mail order outlet with the caring, helpful touch of a specialist shop. Our people make the difference. We take great pride in the energy, commitment and enthusiasm of our ever-growing workforce, still led by our inspirational driving force, Sean. If you read through some of Sean’s blog posts you will see how knowledgeable he is and how much he cares for the welfare of our wildlife.
