The lightweight nesting box is ideal for inclusion in heat insulation systems on external walls. The protruding, ring-shaped perch at the entrance enables the box to be easily installed flush with the wall surface, leaving only the entrance visible. The design makes the approach much easier for the animals, even if the external wall presents a smooth surface. Ideal for installing on the external walls of all kinds of buildings. The box can be mounted with the entrance hole on the left or the right. No aperture for cleaning is provided because this is not essential if the box is occupied by Swifts.

When mounting, ensure free approach and departure possibility downwards!
There must be no protrusions, roof parts, pipes, etc. below the
entrance, because the swift flies very steeply up and down. Under the
entrance, it must therefore go directly and freely downwards.
It is advantageous and we expressly recommend that several nesting aids
be installed for the formation of Swift colonies. Swifts do not need a
minimum distance from fellow species – nesting boxes can therefore be
positioned directly next to each other.
