Build your own JCs Wildlife Barn Owl Box with this Do It Yourself Assembly Kit! This is a great project to do with children to get them involved with outdoor projects. You can have the satisfaction of a product you made hanging in your yard for your friends and family to see. Comes with full instructions on assembly and mounting. Modeled after the design of owl expert Steve Simmons. The entrance hole is elliptical in shape to provide protection from predators. 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 at 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. Nesting Material: Although Barn Owls can and will find their own nesting material, a bag of pine shavings is included with your Barn Owl Box Kit. Scattering some on the floor of the box when mounting will make the Box more appealing to the owl. ** Cedar should not be used as the dust and fumes has been known to irritate young owls. ** This nesting box comes comes included with stainless steel mounting screws for easy installation of our newly designed mounting system. Three total mounting strips are included in the kit to mount your box to the desired location.
