2019 - Now available, Our ECO SEMI-APEX BARN OWL BOX
This new recycled nest box design made from Stokboard has been successfully tested in the field since 2015 & with great success, most important the material used simply out-lives the commonly used plywood boxes available on the market. Our new Eco friendly recycled homes are condensation free & resistant to hot weather conditions. Other benefits are durability, strength & a longer lasting home for Owls or Kestrels. By offering a longer lasting home, it will save costs when having to replace plywood Boxes when it naturally delaminates under the strain of British weather. Please be assured that this new material we are using to make external Owl boxes will make no difference to the Owls & Kestrels who search for places to nest & roost. As an Owl charity that supplies Owl Boxes UK wide, it is important we put our trust in the boxes we supply, which in-turn helps the birds they support.
