Details
Tawny owls are the most abundant owl in the UK, typically found in deciduous and mixed woodland. They will also inhabit urban areas where wooded parks or large gardens provide attractive habitat.
As a cavity nesting species they will naturally use large cavities in trees. However in our highly modified landscape, available large tree cavities are often rare and putting up a tawny owl nest box can provide a nest site where there is a shortage of natural sites.
Our Tawny Owl Nest Box may appear strange as it is more like a tube than a box - but this is just the way that tawny owls prefer them. It is designed to replicate a hollow branch or tree cavity that would be used naturally. These owl boxes are best strapped or fixed to the underside of a branch at an angle of about 45 degrees to the vertical with a clear flight path to the entrance.
The box can either be fixed with straps, screws or nails. At each end of the box are three holes (for screws or nails) and two slots (for straps). The box has a hatch at the base for periodically cleaning out the box. This is made from recycled plastic and held in place with four stainless steel screws.
Features:
- Our tawny owl box provides a safe and comfortable nest site for these charismatic owls.
- Manufactured from precision cut FSC certified exterior grade plywood to provide a long lasting owl box.
- Each nest box features a well drained floor and hatch providing easy access to the nesting area.
- The Tawny Owl Nest Box is best sited in woodland where providing an artificial nest site can be hugely beneficial for this species.
