Careful Handling of Building-Nesting Birds
Some bird species build their nests on or in buildings. This can give rise to conflicts of interest between the needs of the birds and human demands. A new decision-making guide is intended to help find the right approach to dealing with bird nests, while at the same time lending a helping hand to building-nesting birds.
Living Space for Birds Is Shrinking
Common swifts, house sparrows, house martins and barn swallows nest on buildings. Modern buildings, however, offer hardly any suitable nesting sites, while older ones are being renovated. As a result, numerous nesting sites are lost every year.
Digital Decision-Making Guide
The Swiss Ornithological Institute has developed a decision-making guide to assist with the correct handling of bird nests. Nests containing eggs or chicks are protected by law. More on the topic of bird protection and species conservation.
