Swift box no. 17 – single, double or triple | Schwegler

Swifts lose their nesting sites under roof tiles due to renovations. The No. 17 is a lightweight swift box made of plant-fibre concrete for mounting against a wall, with the typical oval entrance that keeps starlings out.

• Oval entrance specially designed for swifts
• Lightweight material (plant-fibre concrete), with a U-bracket for mounting on a wall or for plastering in
• Can be painted in the wall colour
• Boxes can be placed side by side for a colony

Tip: Swifts need an unobstructed flight path: hang the box at least 6 to 7 metres high, out of the direct afternoon sun.

Versions: 17 single (34 x 15 x 15 cm, approx. 3.1 kg), 17B single with enlarged nesting chamber (34 x 15 x 21 cm, approx. 4.8 kg), 17C double with 2 nesting chambers (66 x 15 x 15 cm, approx. 5.5 kg) and 17A triple with 3 nesting chambers (98 x 15 x 15 cm, approx. 7.1 kg). Swifts nest in colonies, so the double and triple boxes are occupied particularly quickly.
