This is a Swift. sometimes they can end up on the ground. This is where they need YOUR help!

Swifts arrive back to the UK from April/May to nest. 🪺 (A THREAD) Image 1️⃣ Bring the swift indoors. House it in a deep plastic container or a ventilated cardboard box or shoebox, lined with a folded tea towel or tissue. Keep the swift in a quiet room. ✅ (the bird will not fly) Image

❗ What to do when finding a grounded swift THREAD❗RETWEET

If you find a grounded swift, please never throw the bird in the air or hold them out the window. Image The bird can be placed in your palm and held at shoulder height to see if it will take flight, but if it does not, it SHOULD NOT be thrown into the air. ❌ Image
