Swifts used to nest under the eaves of our buildings and as clean and quiet birds lived quite happily alongside us, but increasingly their nesting sites have been threatened in our cities. We have been sealing up our buildings which can mean, as migrants, that when they arrive in the summer from Africa they find themselves homeless.
The habi-sabi single swift box is a flat pack nesting aide that will allow you to help new generations of swifts have a home during the only period in their lives that they are not on their wings. Our swift box is s made of an innovative lightweight material that won’t rot, expand or warp. It is recycled, non toxic and completely safe for birds and humans and it has excellent insulation properties to keep the fledglings at good temperatures.
Swifts will happily nest in urban environments as they can fly far to find food and drink raindrops while flying. Installing swift calls helps to attract pairs searching for nest places to see if there might be a vacant place. These are available via Swift Conservation
