Not So Hollow Farm nice,

Have you seen a trend for best placement of the barn swallow cup? I know you say under an overhang. South side preferable? Tight to the inside roof line?

[@gilligallou]

OutofDoorsTV thank you, 😊 a large part of our work/message is Habitat creation, barn swallows are in decline with one of the factors being no nesting habitat. We always do a blog on our site with this type of video, thought you might find it interesting also. Thank you, Bob. gilligalloubird.com/how-to-use-a-barn-swallow-nesting-cup/

Lovely idea , but is there any prove the swallows will use these instead of building their own nest ??

[@tinaosburn1958]

Hey there! Our poor swallows keep nesting in the front door of my home it’s very messy. I waited until the baby birds could fly which they seem to be doing very well. Even when the babies were in the nest the parents would sleep under my other front door I’ve got two front doors. I’m trying to figure out why they won’t

[@gilligallou]

Morning, noise pollution has a great affect on nesting birds for sure, sometime making them avoid nesting or unable to nest because of it.

Can I still purchase a few of these nesting boxes my husband accidentally knocked down two of our nesting sites wasntvawarecof the nest and thought they were old bee areas and our insect population has been terrible..... I miss my swallows ....

[@gilligallou]

sorry, our shop has been closed all spring as a result of covid, we're unable to produce them this yr

[@tinaosburn1958]

I figured out why they won’t go to the back of the house which I wouldn’t have a bother with but I live very close to a train and it’s very loud and I imagine it’s very vibrational I just. I just don’t know what to do I love birds.
