Oooh good, the #uk #lords #houseOfLords will debate mandating #swift #swiftBricks in new builds.

🇬🇧 Conservative MPs are joining calls for a new law to guarantee #swiftbricks in every new home to help the rapidly declining bird and other endangered roof-nesting species.

Pressure is growing to amend the levelling up bill so that developers are required to include a hollow brick for nesting birds in all new housing, with MPs to debate the issue in #parliament on 10 July.

The migrating #Swift has declined by at least 60% since 1995.

Please sign & share this petition to help swifts in the UK. Like so much wildlife they need our help:

Make #SwiftBricks compulsory in new housing to help red-listed birds

#Swifts have declined by over 50% in the #UK. Adult swifts, known for site-fidelity, return to the same nests. We want swift bricks to be required in all new housing, to provide homes for these birds. Surveys show these are used by red-listed swifts, house martins, starlings and house sparrows.
