Relocating Swallows

Would this be of interest? ~

I think you can install special nest bricks for swifts, too. Worth a gloogle? I hope you have great success!

Not any help but a couple of years ago I found in a shed two young swallows on the floor, the nest had collapsed abs fallen to the ground. I used a plastic small bowl screwed it near where the nest had been filled it with straw and lined it with the old nest. Lifted the chicks back in and she reared them out of the mock nest.

Unless you've already got swifts in your neighbourhood, they're are extremely difficult to attract. We put up a swift box and played a cd of their calls all day from a window near it. On one occasion, we had them flying round and round the house, obviously attracted by the recordings. They were just in the village that day for a feed over the river.

Nails or screws (not too long ) driven in on the side of purlins will help them 'stick' a nest in place and keep it there,if theve had a nest fall they will take steps to not have it happen again ime.
Seems lolike these days here its too dry like atm for them to scoop up enough mud to build so a little pond with muddy banks or a few maintained muddy puddles might help i guess.
but as above Swallows are also devils to get to nest where you want them too

near a collie being housed we find they seem a bit to favour, as our collies will never touch them even if a fledgling falls from the nest. they seem to sense that here ,along with the fact that the dogs keep cats away from a particiular area i guess.
