Swifts are remarkable birds that spend almost their entire lives in flight. In fact, they can remain airborne for months at a time without landing. They only land to breed and before they can breed, Swifts must find a suitable nesting site - a challenge today, as their natural nesting places are rapidly disappearing. They are colony breeders. It's therefore advisable to hang four or more swift houses near to each other. This nesting box provides the perfect solution, offering Swifts a safe, ideal place to raise their young. Once a Swift establishes a nest here, the same pair will return year after year. The box features a durable zinc roof and a convenient side door for easy inspection and cleaning. Can be put up at anytime as it will be used by overwintering insects, but should certainly be in position before Swifts return in May. The Common Swift is a protected bird.
