The AfS Soffit Box - Inside Horizontal Soffits
One of the commonest places for Swifts to breed is under open eaves with the nest on top of the wall plate. As most eaves are now closed, this denies Swifts the opportunities they once had.
The nest box provides a lightweight, enclosed nest chamber resting inside the soffit. No wildlife can get beyond the enclosure. Swifts enter via a small hole on the downward facing soffit, providing them with protection from predators. It is a simple and effective solution.
