Swift Brick Bird Boxes

Location of swift box

Swift boxes are best positioned relatively high, at a height of 5-10 metres, ideally just under the eaves. Please get in touch if you wish to discuss your swift box plans – we have considerable expertise on the team.

Unique design

This box has a crescent shaped hole drilled at 75mm in the brick to one side of the box, allowing swifts access but restricting use by starlings or allowing starlings. Inside, a rough floor makes it easier for the birds to move around. The centre of the floor has a sunken nest cup to assist the birds’ nest building. The ideal internal depth of a swift box is 140 mm, however if cavity width is limited, boxes can be manufactured with a reduced depth (minimum 100 mm). Please specify requirements at the point of order.

Bespoke options

Swift boxes are supplied with a non-removable front as standard, however should removable fronts be required, please let us know at the point of order.
