Artificial Clay Nests

Cliff Swallows are very attracted to previous years’ nests, which save time and energy that otherwise would be used in the construction of a new nest. We have developed nests made of fired stoneware clay; the nests are durable, breathable, and realistic. They are made to varying degrees of completion, which also mimics natural conditions. When Cliff Swallows use artificial clay nests they will finish them off with mud from puddles, adding it to both the inside and entrance of nests.
