Double nest box designed for common swifts and pallid swifts, allowing two pairs to nest in a single structure. Ideal for promoting colonization on facades and buildings.

 

 

Main benefit

 

Doubles the chances of occupation and promotes the creation of swift colonies.

 

 

Why a double box?

Swifts are colonial birds. They don't just look for a hole, but environments where there are other individuals.

A double box:

  • Increases the probability of occupation
  • Favors the establishment of several pairs
  • Better simulates a natural colony

It is much more effective than installing isolated individual boxes.

 

 

Compatible species

 

This box is designed for:

  • Common Swift (Apus apus)
  • Pallid Swift (Apus pallidus)

Both species:

  • Nest in cavities
  • Access in direct flight
  • Adapt well to artificial structures

 


Features

  • Double design with two independent chambers
  • Two oval entrances adapted for swifts
  • Horizontal cavity-type format
  • Made of natural wood from sustainable forests
  • Prepared for installation on a facade or under eaves

 

 

Installation requirements 

  • Minimum height: 5 meters (ideal 6–10 m)
  • Access: direct flight without obstacles
  • Location: facades, eaves, buildings
  • Quiet and elevated area

Without free approach space, they will not enter.

 

 

Recommended orientation

  • North, east or northeast
  • Avoid south orientation in very hot areas

 

 

What to expect

  • May take time to be occupied (normal)
  • High fidelity to existing colonies
  • Better results if swifts are already in the area

Installing several boxes (or double boxes) significantly increases success

 

 

Important

  • Do not install in areas with nearby cables or trees
  • Do not place at low height
  • Do not manipulate during the breeding season

 

 

Ideal for

  • House facades
  • Buildings and communities
  • Town halls
  • Urban biodiversity projects

 

 

Turn your facade into a nesting site and promote the creation of swift colonies

✔ Higher probability of occupation
✔ Two cavities in a single installation
✔ Maintenance-free

 

 

For best results, combine several double boxes or install in groups.
