Barn Owls would naturally nest in cavities within mature trees. However in today's modern landscape large cavities in trees are often scarce and Barn Owls are reliant on spaces within buildings and purpose made owl boxes. You can help these birds out by putting up a barn owl nest box to provide a safe and comfortable nest site. 

Built out of collaboration with conservation organisiations, this barn owl nest box has been constructed from certified sustainable exterior grade plywood making it suitable for use both inside buildings, such as barns, or outside. The nest box has a sturdy front platform for owlets to exercise on and a generous front canopy to protect the entrance and platform from bad weather. The nest box is a generous size offering a full 44cm depth from entrance to floor. The double inspection hatch allows full access to the whole floor area for cleaning or inspection and is designed to prevent rain coming in with simple, secure fastenings. The specially drilled backplate provides fixings above and below the nest box to ensure it is secure and there are oversized holes to accommodate ropes for hauling the nest box up the tree and locating it.

This nest box will be delivered fully assembled with the exception of the platform which can be easily fixed in place without tools, before or after the next box is fixed into position.

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.
