swifts nest in colonies, tend to keep the same nest for life, and require nests to be fairly high up & sheltered.
hollow bricks like this allow swifts to do what comes naturally to them, with v minimal change on our side of things, since they're just being added during the building process & not being retrofitted.
individual bird boxes in trees etc can be great for other birds, but it'd be tough to convince swifts to use them!
Bird boxes are also super-temporary in the greater scheme of things. One property owner is a bird lady with 25 boxes, she moves- next property owner doesn't like bird boxes 25->0 overnight.
