Description
Swift Nest Box is an ideal subject for a summer conservation action for groups or individuals to undertake to save a threatened species. The Swift nest box is made from 12mm, exterior grade plywood, treated and sealed. Hole entrance (29mm x 65mm oblong) and overall specs are as recommended by Swift Conservstion Ireland and is known as the Zeist design, after the city in The Netherlands.
Swifts are under pressure as a summer nesting species in Irelaand due to the high standard, insulated building designs which wont naturally accomodate a crevice seeking, hole nesting species like the Swift. We are now taking orders for late April delivery. The Swift nest box is designed for a single nesting pair and it is recommended to deploy boxes in twos or threes under suitable eaves as Swifts are colonial nesters. A Swift caller system can be used to attract Swifts into new nesting sites, and users must be licensed by npws.ie to play a tape lure. Full details on how to attract and save nesting Swifts are available on request. e mail: oran@irishgardenbirds.ie or Whats App 085 805 6994 fora pdf: Saving Swifts
