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

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.

Yeah, with no way to clean these out, they’ll quickly fill up and be useless.

Die alten, halb verfallenen Granithäuser haben viele Spalten zwischen den Natursteinen. Schätze, dass die Fledermäuse auch da wohnen.

Nice... but I thought nests needed to be cleaned out to prevent deceases and other nasty stuff?
