Tawny Owl Nest Box

If you're looking for a handmade, high-quality, and purpose-built nest box for Tawny Owls, then look no further!

This box provides Tawny Owls with a dark and safe place for them to nest and stay away from predators. This box provides a great place for Tawny Owls to nest where there might not be a 'natural' hollow. As Tawny Owls are territorial birds, one pair will ocupy a woodland territory and nest site, but they may still be used every year by a pair.

Handcrafted using products made from well-managed forests, this box just screams quality.

Where to place this nest box?

The Tawny Owl box should be sited high on a mature tree between 3.5 and 5 metres with a clear flight path to the entrance. When the fledgelings emerge, they use nearby branches to access higher areas of the tree canopy. Hence mounting the tawny owl box on an isolated pole is unsuitable.

The box should ideally face east/northeast or southeast. The availability of prey species close to the nesting box is vital. Tawny Owls eat a wide variety of prey, including mice, voles, rats, insects, invertebrates, amphibians and birds. The proximity of fruiting or nut-bearing trees and shrubs that support these target species would indicate a suitable nesting site.
