Case studies and thoughts please

[Cally Smith Huntly & District Swift Group]

Hi everyone

i have been asked the following and would like others opinions and case studies if they have............heres the story:

Our council have earmarked a building to put up some swift nest boxes.  I assume its not a listed building as they have had the local mens shed make some model 30 style boxes.  I would use something different on a LB.  Anyway they are having great difficulty convincing the staff of this building that the swifts will not fly inside and poop on the museum pieces inside.

I have suggested that almost certainly they are confusing swifts with swallows which do indeed find their way inside a building.  i have offered a presentation, a chat, etc but to no avail.  

The council are asking for case studies of swifts (swift provision) on buildings that house museum type displays to see if there have been any problems.  I have my thoughts on this and feel it is a waste of time as swifts do not enter a building (unless on a rare occasion there is a way in or gap etc) so why the need for a case study!

Thoughts gratefully received :)

Hi Cally,

If you play calls near an open upstairs window, you may well find a Swift on your bed!

My next door neighbour found a Swift in her loo which had flown in through an open window at the opposite end of the house. It flew off OK.
