Case Studies of Resolving Conflicts with Barn Swallows

As swifts share living spaces with humans, it is always a challenge for us to minimize their impact on our daily lives without disturbing them.

Fortunately, many citizens have already come up with different creative bird-friendly solutions to reduce bird-human conflicts. For example, some use cardboard or containers to create "dropping trays" beneath swift nests to prevent bird droppings from falling directly on passersby. Others put up small notices to remind people to be mindful of the nests. Here are the photo records of some local examples.
