The Wildlife World Barn Owl Box 2017 developed jointly with experienced owl conservationists. This is to ensure it provides a safe and suitable nest site for breeding barn owls. The 2017 model has straight sided design which uses lightweight yet durable materials. This gives barn owls a long-lasting nest site which is easier to install than heavier alternatives. Features Flat pack design for easy transportation Handmade from solid FSC certified timber and recycled agricultural plastic Slow-seasoned timber negates the need for chemical, stains or artificial preservatives Lightweight making for easier installation Recycled plastic upper and lower hanging/fixing plates Generous sized front platform and flat roof top for landing area / fledgling wing exercise Deep interior space for chick safety Large front inspection door with bolt Drilled floor for drainage and ventilation Fitted with camera clip (a camera is a legal way to monitor this protected species without disturbing them).Barn owls are particularly vulnerable to being hit by traffic because of their low level hunting style. They should not be encouraged to nest within 1/2 mile of major roads. The presence of vole rich grasslands and less intensively managed habitat is the key to success in selecting a nest box site.
