British icon, hilarious comic &amp; bird-kind ⁦Bill Bailey⁩ thinks securing homes for birds reliant on cavity nesting habitat is an ace idea. The swift brick debate is tomorrow. Help the birds. Email SWIFT BRICKS to [email protected] &amp; [email protected]

Check this out!!! These birds are not starlings. They are jackdaws!!! Just filmed, mouth open, delighted. They’re now in their cedar roost on the seafront, chattering away and I’m standing underneath them in awe. HOW COOL ARE THEY!!?! Grins!!

Hot weather alert: #SwiftAwarenessWeek - if you see a swift (of any age) on the ground, it needs help as it won’t be able to take off from the ground even if it looks like it’s developed enough to fly. They need expert help so if you find one, tell me so I can connect you to help

Please help get this message to CEO of Network Rail Jeremy Westlake. Email him asking him to unblock the swift nesting sites in the chapel Milton viaduct, Derbyshire. His email is jeremy.westlakeNetwork Rail.co.uk @deborahpitman has been asking for ages but she’s been ignored

BREAKING NEWS: Network Rail unblocked the swift homes because of the strength of feeling shown by THOUSANDS of people, led by Deborah Pitman. Thanks to ⁦Jenny Jones⁩ ⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ ⁦Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦⁩ ⁦Pam Ayres MBE &amp; Transport Minister Lord Hendy

20,000 bricks make up the average 2 storey new house &amp; all we ask is that 1 of them has a hole in it - to save a species and preserve an entire category of birds who live alongside us. Labour hated the idea to put a 3 line whip against it. Talk about betrayal.

9 days ago #NetworkRail agreed to removing the mortar to unblock the swifts nesting sites. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET meanwhile swifts are returning home earlier than normal. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!! ***THE SWIFTS ARE BACK!!!*** WELCOME HOMMMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you seen any? #uglycrying #birds #swifts #theyreback #BreakingNews BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR! BEST DAY OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING NEWS!!! (This is NOT the final result BUT)…the SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT JUST PASSED SWIFT BRICKS THROUGH TO THE NEXT PHASE. The SNP government did not but THE OTHER PARTIES STOOD UNITED AND SHOWED ENGLAND HOW ITS DONE. SCOTLAND YOU BEAUTY! Thank you ⁦Mark Ruskell⁩ !

This swift left its exact nesting site here in August flying to Africa, spending 9 months on the wing. Journeying 8,000 miles, crossing the Sahara twice, it’s returned to find it BLOCKED. Swifts face national Exstinction + this bird may die trying. The homeowner doesn’t care.

#NetworkRail are getting bogged down in their own justifications but the point is that the swift nesting sites are blocked and they can unblock them. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts #UnblockTheNests

Living a nightmare. We haven’t got to the tipping point yet 3 years into the swift brick campaign. I hope you’re furious. Go see your MP. Please. People power will work. Tell [email protected] how you feel too. The govt has betrayed swifts.

The govt says they'll build with nature in mind. Birds reliant on our 🏡 need swift bricks, a uniquely vital measure, to be mandated to save them from extinction. On the 2YEAR anniversary of #TheFeatherSpeech We ask Angela Rayner Matthew Pennycook MP Steve Reed to act Zac Goldsmith

The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries on 🌍 yet a 🧱is too much of a stretch for Labour to save our swifts.This symbolic 🎥 is for those who care that the existence of swifts is on the line.I hate campaigning but I’ll never give up on the birds.If you care,share🙏

WE HAVE DONE IT! Together we have proved that #PassionIsASuperpower. I launched #TheFeatherSpeech naked + alone + now it is a campaign made up of 100,000 people who care: The Feather Speech belongs to YOU + our irreplaceable feathered neighbours who are on their way home now🪶♥️

Breaking news!The government has just voted against the same swift brick amendment they voted for 2 years ago. We can only save our swifts if we all act. Email your MP. Ask them to sign MEET your MP. Tell them how much this matters or we’ll lose them

I AM my campaign+the vulnerability of being nude in public is the embodiment of how I feel as a campaigner.With ⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ by my side,he felt like a forcefield.This is what 10000s of us want ⁦Michael Gove⁩ to be for swifts: to protect their existence.With a brick!

‼️The #Conservative government has just formally said NO to any action to secure urgent, vital nesting habitat. Please use your voice&amp;vote to tell ALL MP candidates about the need to mandate swift bricks. Your voice is powerful right now. ⁦⁦Zac Goldsmith⁩ #WorldSwiftDay

Dear Michael Gove 1 year ago my petition reached the 100k signature target. The public, scientists, politicians led by Zac Goldsmith urge you to act. A swift brick requirement to Building Regs is drafted, ready. The housebuilders have no objections. We've done all you asked. So?

Birds who share our walls face national extinction + 4.6M+ walls have been insulated, blocking them all out of their homes. Sign #TheFeatherSpeech to make Swift bricks a national policy in new housing to help safeguard our closest wild neighbours ⬇️🪶

It's #FlyOrDie #TheFeatherSpeech petition needs 28k more signatures in the next 30 days so I'm asking for your extra help. Petition target: 100k by April's end YOU can help secure a voice for swifts + stop our skies falling silent of their screams.

Apparently swift bricks are just too costly. Sorry guys, swifts&amp; their 50 million year old existence&amp; the category of most accessible urban birds, just isn’t worth the cost. Bye bye birdies. If you disagree tell [email protected]

WE ARE THE PR COMPANY FOR #swifts + there are 75,000 of us. Please consider #TheFeatherSpeech YOUR campaign + tell everyone you’ve ever met about the petition ⬇️🪶 we have 28 days to use our voice for birds ♥️🪶
