Create a safe habitat for your local owls! This durable nesting box is ideal for various owl species, including eastern and western screech owls, saw-whet owls, and boreal owls. Handcrafted with rust-proof decking screws and waterproof glue, this owl house withstands outdoor elements and meets the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's bird shelter standards. Features include a correctly sized entry hole, ample floor and head space, an interior fledgling ladder, air vents, a clean-out door with a latch, and drainage holes—all designed with owl needs in mind. Tips: Mount on a pole with a predator guard and keep away from trees to deter squirrels. Handmade with real pine wood and recycled tree bark. Place 2-3 inches of wood shavings in box floor, clean out old nesting material and replace with fresh wood shavings after brood is complete. Nesting boxes should be placed 10-30 feet high, facing any direction, on a live tree or pole.
