The HiroNid Carved Nest is an elegantly designed nesting box for house martins and barn swallows. Made from natural terracotta (sandstone 221), it can be directly affixed to all types of facades. Particularly resistant to impact and frost, it is handmade using a potter's wheel and has an internal diameter of 160 mm and an entrance opening of 50 mm.

Instructions for use

Direct installation on all types of facades, without additional support: two fixing holes accessible through the entry window.

Dimensions

  • Inside diameter: 160 mm — Input window: 50 mm

Placement

Install at least 2-3 m from the ground, facing southeast or southwest, with a clear flight path in front of the nest. Provide a source of mud nearby.

Maintenance

Swallow nests generally don't require cleaning, except in certain specific circumstances:

  • Abandoned nest: If swallows no longer use a nest for several seasons, it can become filled with debris or infested with insects. In this case, cleaning can help attract new swallows.
  • Parasite infestation: If you notice a significant presence of parasites (fleas, mites, etc.), it may be helpful to clean or replace the nest to ensure a healthy environment for future broods.

Manufacturing and delivery

Our nest boxes are made in France, to order, from sustainable and recyclable materials, for a low carbon footprint. Current lead time: 4 weeks upon receipt of order, then delivery by carrier within 48 hours after collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose the right nesting box?

Each product is sized for a specific species (diameter of the entrance hole, chamber volume). Refer to the description and the technical sheet downloadable on each product page.

How are birdhouses installed?

AQUAPANEL® recessed nest boxes are integrated into the thickness of the insulation during external thermal insulation, or are fixed directly onto the masonry with the supplied accessories. Surface-mounted nests can be installed on all types of facades.

What are the delivery times?

Our products are made in France, to order: allow approximately 4 weeks from receipt of the order, then delivery by carrier within 48 hours. Free delivery from €200 incl. VAT for individuals; for professionals, transport costs according to the total weight of the order.

Should birdhouses be maintained?

Generally, no: swifts and bats do not require any cleaning. The NIDELLE cornice swallows' nests have removable supports for easy inspection, outside of the nesting period.

How long does it take for nesting boxes to be occupied?

Colonization can take one to several seasons depending on the species and the proximity of existing colonies. Installing several nest boxes side by side encourages settlement.
