Description
A safe, ready-made Barn Owl house
We frequently receive reports of owlets that have fallen from unsafe nest-places, usually from poorly-designed nest-boxes. Fallen owlets are generally ignored by the adults and die. Our deep indoor Barn Owl nestbox is much safer for owlets, due to a 455mm (17¾”) drop between the entrance-hole and inside floor. This reduces the ‘fall danger period’ from 38 days to 9 days. Hand made at the Barn Owl Trust using sustainable FSC-approved 9mm plywood, which will last for many years. Hanging instructions come with the nestbox. No hanging kit is needed.
Please note. Wood is a natural material. Shrinkage/expansion, warping, damp and mould, discolouration, cracks and knot holes are to be expected. Our boxes are individually built by hand using tolerances akin to carpentry not cabinet making. Minor variations are normal.
Indoor boxes are recommended where possible – See Barn Owl tree box for outside use.
We have developed five owl box fixing methods that allow these nesting boxes to be installed in all types of modern farm buildings as well as old barns. More about indoor Barn Owl nestboxes.
