Insect eating birds are a very valuable source of natural pest control; blackbirds and thrushes search out slugs and snails to eat; blue tits eat hundreds of caterpillars and green woodpeckers will eat ants in the grass of lawns. The decline in woodland areas and older trees means there are fewer nesting sites for over 60 species of birds, which use old trees for their nests. Putting up an artificial nest box will help future generations of birds and give much pleasure derived from observing them.
Tawny Owls will often inhabit large gardens with trees. The Just Tawny Owl Box will further encourage this.
Handcrafted in our UK workshops from sustainably grown solid timber,specifically designed for the Tawny owl. Boxes need to be sited at least 2.5 metres above the ground. Owls need a clear flight path in and out of the box and in quiet, secluded spots. Nesting owls can be dangerous if approached. Tawny Owls nest in woodland and in well-wooded suburban gardens.
This box can be attached to trees in gardens or in woodlands at angle of 45 degrees or less to the vertical.
