It’s never too late to ‘Stick in a brick’
In April 2023 we were asked by Five Rivers Housing Cohousing to advise on the inclusion of swift bricks into their development by Oakworth Homes.
With most of the development already complete, Oakworth’s director, Craig Pygall met with our network member Chet Cunago, and it was agreed that 16 swift bricks could still be installed on 4 sections of housing not quite finished.
Time was against us, as the scaffolding was coming down within a few days, and we only had a small window of opportunity in which we could have the bricks manufactured. Luckily Dick Newell and his team at Action for Swifts got to work immediately, and our order arrived 5 days later.
We also needed swift callers to attract swifts to their brand new ‘nests in the walls’ of the Five Rivers Development. Our friends Lynden and Lester from Peak Boxes came up trumps. Within 24 hours the swift callers were collected.
A huge thanks to Craig and his team at Oakworth, including brick layer Allan Rennar. Oakworth Homes couldn’t have been more accommodating or patient, as we filmed the installation of these incredible integrated nest bricks.
An EXTRA special thank you to Nichola Gilkes and the Five Rivers folk for doing everything they could to give our swifts a chance.
