 With only about 4000 pairs of Barn Owls left in the UK, these wonderful birds need all the good homes and nesting boxes they can find.
The nesting box is suitable for use inside a building such as a barn, or externally on a tree, wall or post.
Our top selling Barn Owl Nest Box looks good to the human eye, and provides the ideal home for a family of Barn Owls.
Enjoy the pleasure of seeing the owls quietly roosting and going about their daily business, and the baby owls growing and excercising. Marvel at their silent flight when they leave the box or return from hunting, in the knowledge that you are helping the conservation of these beautiful birds.
Features that provide for the safe rearing of owlets and effective but simple management of the bird box include:-
-
Nesting box manufactured from fsc certified exterior grade timber.
-
Generous drained floor.
-
Sturdy front platform across full width of nesting box for owlets to exercise on.
-
Full 44cm depth from entrance hole to floor.
Specially drilled backplate providing fixing holes above and below the nesting box and oversized holes to accommodate ropes for hauling the nesting box up the tree and locating it.
Double inspection hatch allowing full access to the whole floor area facilitates cleaning or inspection from either side of the bird box. Both hatches are designed to avoid rain coming in, and are securely held in position with simple fastenings.
A generous weather "canopy" that protects both the nesting box's entrance hole and the landing platform from the worst of the weather.
A lightweight but robust construction strengthened by integral tags formed from the plywood walls but still only weighing approx. 6 kgs.
We very much appreciate the help that The Barn Owl Trust and other experts have given us during the design of this nest box.
