Product information "Swift Nest No. 18"
Rögelein design
This attractively styled Swift Nest is readily accepted by the Birds and has proved highly effective when installed under eaves. It can be attached by screws to walls or in an overhead position, e.g. on ceilings. We recommend painting the angled board with exterior wall paint but to leave the bowl as supplied in order to improve thermal insulation and provide a better grip for the Birds. The angled board makes it much easier to install, even on difficult sites, because any sawing, drilling or screwing can easily be carried out.
Material:
Air-permeable SCHWEGLER wood-concrete with long-lasting, formaldehyde-free chipboard frame, suitable for painting.
Size:
W 50 x H 19 x D 22 cm
Interior dimensions: W 34 x H 14 x D 15 cm
Interior dimensions: W 34 x H 14 x D 15 cm
Siting and Positioning:
On exterior facades or under roof proximity of all types of buildings. Similar to all our other Swift boxes but, since the chipboard panel is moisture-resistant but not rainproof, it should always be placed under overhanging eaves or in some other sheltered site.
The entrance should be a minimum height of 6 to 7 m above the ground or protruding parts of buildings. Greater heights are possible at any time. It is very important to ensure that there are no protruding parts, roof parts, pipes, etc. below the entrance, as Swifts approach and fly away very steeply. It is advantageous and we expressly recommend that several nesting aids be installed for the formation of Swift colonies.
Cleaning:
The entire nest can be removed from the frame.
When it is replaced the nest is locked back into position using the angled nails.
Colour:
We recommend painting the angle board with façade paint, leaving the bowl as delivered for better climate compensation and grip for the swift.
Includes:
Nest box with wooden angled board.
Weight:
approx. 4.5 kg
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.
