Here's a list of great benefits to our 'Newly designed' ECO Tawny Owl Box   

  • Robust in design & lighter than timber or plywood Tawny Owl Boxes.
  • ECO-friendly, durable, washable & longer lasting, which means the Owl Box will not rot.
  • Waterproof & well ventilated to combat the harshest of UK weather conditions.
  • Superior thermal insulation to keep the Owl Box cool during hot weather conditions
  • Breathable floor design that offers great airflow to combat moisture build up from Owl Pellets or any condensation issues.
  • Made from quality & durable recycled plastic that has superior thermal insulation and heat retaining properties.
  • Our conservation team have professionally tested this Recycled ECO Tawny Owl Box over time against any the concerns relating to heat & condensation, the results gained are 110% positive to support the welfare of Owls & their young.
  • Recycled materials used are chemical free, making it non toxic to Owls & all wildlife.
  • Requires no protective treatment or staining!
  • Comes with a 'robust' fixing bracket system that makes the Owl Box very easy to install.
  • Comes with a well-designed side inspection hatch plus a detachable roof for easy access & cleaning.
  • Supported with our new ECO Porch System that has now replaced the older style 'solid timber' entrance porch. The purpose of the porch system is that this has been specially designed to protect the entrance hole from driving wind & rain.
  • The entrance hole on this box is purposely set at a height that is safe to Owlets, it's very beneficial as it allows the Owlets to gain visual to their natural environment whilst in the safety of their box. We feel it's important that owlets do see the outside world & it's dangers as they grow up whilst they naturally stay in the safety of their nest. Also, this provides visual benefits when monitoring the nest box at a safe distance. If confused, call us & speak to our conservation team.
  • Each ECO Tawny Owl Box is sent out with its unique ID number, this means you can record the Tawny Owl Box back to us or to a local project near you. (Recording is Optional)
  • Also & most important, our Owl Conservation team are always on the end of the phone from 9am to 9pm daily to offer important support as & when required. (Tel: 01452 383999)

OUR NEST BOXES ARE SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR BOTH INTERNAL & EXTERNAL USE SUPPORTING LOCATIONS SUCH AS TREES, INSIDE BUILDINGS & THE EXTERNAL GABLE END WALLS OF BUILDINGS.

Nest Box Information below


Habitat locations. 

For Tawny Owls, the preferred habitat location is woodland areas of mixed farmland with mature trees.

 

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 reach of 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 Tawny 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 clips 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. All boxes are made at the Barn Owl Centre's workshop by our team of Owl Conservationists.

 

FOR DELIVERY PURPOSES ONLY: Can we kindly ask if we can be supplied with a contact telephone number when you place your order, this can be very useful if the courier becomes lost or if for some reason they have a problem finding the delivery address you have given. Our courier can call you for directions if we struggle to find you; some properties are sometimes harder to find than others especially if they are in remote areas of the countryside. Our aim is to get the nest box to you. MANY THANKS.

If you need to contact us for any reason, this you can do at any time, including evenings, please note that we do operate a 24hr Rescue Centre too. For office hours, the best time to call is between 9am until 9pm, evenings are better though.

Please try not to send emails because we are very slow to respond due to other work commitments. A telephone call is much better because we can advise you better.
