Description
This Vivara Pro nesting box for swifts is designed to fit seamlessly into building facades. It can also be used with new builds or in renovation and post insulation projects.
The WoodStone material is a mix of FSC certified wood fibres and concrete. This material helps to create a safe and durable nesting space that is tough enough to stand up to harsh weather conditions for decades.
WoodStone nesting boxes also safeguard against attacks from predators, including woodpeckers, cats and squirrels.
Swifts use the eaves of our homes as a replacement for the rock faces and cliffs in which they would naturally nest. They are very loyal to nesting sites and will return.
Many older homes were built with standard wall-size bricks and a 6cm cavity. The integrated Vivara Pro swift nesting 'brick' will fit into these dimensions.
The box also features a waterproof glued FSC plywood rear wall.
The height of the nesting box fits perfectly into a 3-layer wall format. The box can be installed with the entrance hole facing left or right.
House sparrows have also been known to use this nesting box (this can actually help the swifts to discover or locate the nest box). It's not a problem for swifts, who will swiftly (pun intended) evict them when they want the space.
Once installed the nesting box does not require any cleaning, as swifts themselves will remove any excess nesting material.
