Swift is thriving. But the birds are disappearing.
The name of our favorite programming language comes from one of nature’s fastest flyers, yet swift populations have dropped dramatically.

🚨 It's official!

Swift nesting bricks have passed the Scottish Parliament and will now become law.

Swifts are in serious decline across the UK. This will help reverse that trend and make our communities more liveable for birds.

Thank you all for your incredible support in 2025.
We wish you all the best for 2026, and hope you all get to enjoy Swift and swifts next year.

My first plan for 2026 is to donate all the we raised so far to Birdlife International.
There’s still a few hours left to donate at: https://www.justgiving.com/page/swiftforswifts
