@Rainmaker1973 #globalmuseum #birds #ScotlandNice... but I thought nests needed to be cleaned out to prevent deceases and other nasty stuff?

@globalmuseum@HolgerH hier gibt es viele Ruinen, wo sie ungestört nisten können. Die alten, halb verfallenen Granithäuser haben viele Spalten zwischen den Natursteinen. Schätze, dass die Fledermäuse auch da wohnen.

@baardhaveland @globalmuseum I brought this up year(s) ago as a question and never saw an answer then either.
Yeah, with no way to clean these out, they’ll quickly fill up and be useless.

@colinstu @baardhaveland @globalmuseum a couple sites I'm seeing are broadly claiming "very clean birds"... but very clearly do not explicitly claim "no need to clean ever". suspiciously so.
e.g. actionforswifts.com has an FAQ with:
> Q: Do they require maintenance?
> A: Swifts bring in a very small amount of nest material, which is then reduced by invertebrates over the winter. Other birds may bring in more nest material, but they always leave some space. It is not unusual for Swifts to nest on top of a sparrow’s nest.
... which is rather pointedly not answering the question.

I guess the question is whether natural nesting holes ever get cleaned out.

@Rainmaker1973 #globalmuseum #birds #Scotland@draNgNon Of *course* when I saw this my first thought was not of providing affordances to birds, but that there’s some new exploit with which you can write Swift code that, when compiled, completely disables your computer.
