3. Orientation: Position the Swift Box to face an open area with a clear flight path, enabling swifts to effortlessly enter and exit the box during their high-speed flights, in line with observations from specialists.
4. Sheltered Position: Choose a location that offers protection from strong winds and direct sunlight, creating a comfortable and thermally stable environment inside the box.
5. Obstruction-Free: Ensure there are no obstructions or branches that might impede swifts’ flight path or access to the nesting box, ensuring a clear and unobstructed entry.
