This Barn Owl Box is constructed from exterior grade plywood. It is triangular in shape and has a large exercise platform for emerging chicks to stand and rest in the early stages of the fledging process.
The box should be installed on a tree in open farmland, on an isolated hedgerow or along the edge of a woodland. The box is more likely to be occupied if the entrance hole is clearly visible. Installing two boxes in close proximity to each other can be helpful in providing accommodation for the male during the breeding season.
To install this box the triangular shell should first be secured to the tree using coach bolts or similar strong fixings (not supplied). The front panel shelf can then be screwed on to the shell.
Please note that Barn Owls are a Schedule 1 species and so an occupied box must only be disturbed or inspected by a licensed individual.
