Swift Observation Box No. 14 is suitable for attaching in cold rooms near the roof, e.g. in attics, in historical buildings, industrial plants, warehouses, lift shafts, etc.

Material: 

Breathable SCHWEGLER wood concrete.

Installation: 

This nesting aid is installed inside the building, attached to an external wall using the fixing bracket supplied, screws and wall plugs. A passageway for the Swifts is created from inside the building to the outside, either in an existing opening on site or by making one (e.g. by core drilling Ø 100 mm). The specially textured passage tube supplied with the box is pushed into this opening and any existing thermal installation is bridged. The passage tube has a maximum length of around 35 cm. It can be shorted individually to the required length. If the walls are thicker, Swift occupancy is usually less likely. The entrance in the external façade is fitted with an entrance hole cover made of vegetable fibre-reinforced concrete. It can be painted or rendered if necessary.

Observation and cleaning option: 

Complete flap, including integrated protection against falling out (acrylic glass pane), is removable, ensuring a full view of the whole interior.

Size: 

W 43 x H 24 x D 22 cm plus passage tube and cover

Nest box with fall-out protection (acrylic glass pane*), nest mould, passage tube, entrance cover, fixing bracket and screws.

Note: check on site whether the supplied screws are suitable for the substrate!

With the following nesting aids you can experience Swifts in a completely different, new way and at the same time protect them. They enable us to observe and study the animals directly in their nest. Unforgettable observations are possible, not only during the rearing phase but much more besides.

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.
