For Tawny Owls & Little Owls, locate the box close to or within habitats above or in areas of mixed farmland with mature trees. If you have wooded habitat areas, this can be a preferred habitat location for thewoodland Tawny Owl.Positioning Height.The best height to position the nest box is between 10ft to 16ft, make sure that the box is positioned securely & out of reach of people & out of reachof grazing animals.Direction to Face the Nest Box.With the porch fixed around the entrance hole, this allows the entrance of the nest box to be faced in any direction as it offers more protection from the weather. A nest box without an entrance porch simply allows driving rain & wind to enter.Visibility of the Nest Box & Entrance Hole.The nest box & entrance hole should be made visible at a distance; this will enable the Owls to locate it. Please take into account any leaf foliage as this could grow over & obscure the entrance hole, do not hide the box from the Owl it is intended for. If an Owl was looking for a natural tree hollow, the hollow could be facing any direction & yet visible to an Owl, your nest box simply acts as a man made tree hollow so make its presence & entrance visible for the birds to get the best results.Dangers to take into account.To protect your own Nest Box project, please take into account the main dangers such as busy (A & B) roads & also live railway lines, fast traffic will kill Owls so please look at positioning a nest box well away from these dangerous areas. Also be aware of domestic pets if you are planning to position a Barn Owl nest box within a residential garden please call for advice before purchasing an Owl box.Our Nest Box Design.Our nest boxes are large, spacious & most important they are built to last. Also they are designed to blend perfectly within the countryside.Fixing Bracket.This can be found inside the nest box when it arrives, to access the bracket, simply undo the four screws on the roof, your instructions will also be found inside when entering.Nest Boxes in stock.We normally always stock nest boxes because we need them to support the ongoing projects we are involved in.
