🌿 Help Barn Swallows

Barn Swallows are increasingly losing nesting opportunities due to modern construction methods and renovations. This nest helps provide safe nesting spaces while remaining easy to reproduce and install.

For best results, place the nest in sheltered areas protected from heavy rain and excessive direct sunlight.

If you print one, feel free to share your setup—I’d love to see where these nests end up helping local birds.
