From a subscriber: HELP THE Swifts. Good afternoon, the month of May is just around the corner. Soon black swifts will return to our region, to their nests. They return to their nests from year to year. I know it sounds unusual, but I’m writing this for a reason. The fact is that swifts nest right in old buildings, high under roofs, eaves, and cracks. But many old buildings are being restored. Naturally, the nests of swifts are destroyed, since all the cracks under the roofs are sealed. After returning to the restored building, the swifts cannot find a place to nest, this poses a threat to their reproduction. Because of this, their population begins to decline. But black swifts are of great benefit to us. One swift eats several thousand insects a day, flies, mosquitoes, and so on. Therefore, for those who are interested, you can make houses for them (haircutters) if you wish. Hang them at least 5 meters from the ground. Houses can be hung on any buildings, for example, apartment buildings, schools, etc. So it is for private houses in villages, under the gable of the house. It is better to hang houses on new buildings and restored ones. Swifts, unlike swallows, do not know how to build nests. Since the feet of swiftlets are not adapted for walking on the ground, they cannot collect clay to build a nest. The diagram of the shearer is among the photographs. The houses should be hung firmly, and preferably on the north and east sides, where there is less sun. - - - Thanks for the guide. If anything happens, we are ready to actively publish the proposal, too, so send suitable photos and texts directly to the proposal. 🏀 Hit the hoop and get an NFT gift — https://t.me/BasketbolX_bot
