Tawny Owl Nest Box
Description
Tawny Owl Nest Box - a safe haven for night-time hunters
Looking to give tawny owls (and maybe a few feathery freeloaders) a place to call home? This sturdy nest box is tailor-made for tawny owls but is also loved by jackdaws and stock doves. With its robust design and natural materials, it offers excellent protection against the elements and an ideal nesting site for cavity-dwelling birds.
Built for comfort and safety
Inside, you’ll find a clever built-in ladder structure. It’s not just for curious young owls learning the ropes, even the occasional bat visitor can climb out safely. This small but thoughtful feature makes the box a reliable and wildlife-friendly choice for every season.
Mounting & placement tips
For the best results, install the nest box at least 4 metres high - ideally along the edge of a woodland, in a spacious park, or in a large garden. Use the supplied screws or nails to secure it firmly, and avoid positioning the entrance hole toward the south or west, and ensure the box is not exposed to full sun throughout the day.
Before the breeding season (as early as January for tawny owls), add a layer of dry wood shavings or shredded bark to create a soft, inviting base. Bonus tip: place it near a tree with good branch cover, perfect for adventurous young owlets making their first climb.
Easy annual maintenance
Keeping your owl box clean is quick and simple. Between July and September, just open the hinged front panel using the latch at the bottom, remove any old nesting material or prey remains, and add a fresh layer of nesting material. This ensures a safe, hygienic space for next year’s residents.
