The entrance hole of the JCs Wildlife Barn Owl Nesting Box is elliptical in shape to provide protection from predators including raccoons and Great Horned Owls. Additionally, there is an interior divider separating the box into two compartments. Should a predator be able to reach into the box, they will be unable to reach the owl or owlets on the other side of the divider. The entrance hole is also placed in consideration of young owlets to prevent them from being pushed out of the box by others behind them especially as they all seek to be fed first. Special "grip" grooves underneath the entrance hole also help the adult owl gain access into the box. A door on the end of the box allows for easy access to the interior making clean out a simple and quick task. This also provides easy access to mount a wildlife camera in the box, so you can enjoy viewing your own young owlets during their growth process. Our previous nesting box design has proven very successful in attracting and providing homes to thousands of owls. Ranchers, farmers, and vineyards have found these useful for their own areas. This new, larger model sports larger overall dimensions to better accommodate larger broods. Scattering some on the floor of the box when mounting will make the Box more appealing to the owl. If you need to replace the nesting material, pine shavings are the safest option.This nesting box also comes with included stainless steel mounting screws for easy installation of our newly designed mounting system. Two mounting strips will also come attached to your barn owl box, along with a separate mounting strip loose in the box to attach to your preferred mounting location.
