Nest Box Information below
Since 1997 the Barn Owl Centre have worked hard to supply specially designed nest boxes that help to provide important nest sites & roosting areas for Barn Owls Tawny Owls, Little Owls & Kestrels.

Habitat locations
For Barn Owls & Kestrels, position the box close to or within areas of rough grassland, this type of habitat contains the Barn Owls & Kestrels main prey source, which is Short tailed Voles, Field Mice & Shrews. For Tawny Owls & Little Owls, locate the box close to or within habitats above or in areas of mixed farmland with mature trees. If you have wooded habitat areas, this can be a preferred habitat location for the woodland Tawny Owl.

Positioning Height
The best height to position the nest box is between 10ft to 16ft, make sure that the box is positioned securely & out of reach of people & out of reach of grazing animals.

Direction to Face the Nest Box
With the porch fixed around the entrance hole, this allows the entrance of the nest box to be faced in any direction as it offers more protection from the weather. A nest box without an entrance porch simply allows driving rain & wind to enter.

Visibility of the Nest Box & Entrance Hole
The nest box & entrance hole should be made visible at a distance; this will enable the Owls to locate it. Please take into account any leaf foliage as this could grow over & obscure the entrance hole, do not hide the box from the Owl it is intended for. If an Owl was looking for a natural tree hollow, the hollow could be facing any direction & yet visible to an Owl, your nest box simply acts as a man made tree hollow so make its presence & entrance visible for the birds to get the best results.

Dangers to take into account
To protect your own Nest Box project, please take into account the main dangers such as busy (A & B) roads & also live railway lines, fast traffic will kill Owls so please look at positioning a nest box well away from these dangerous areas. Also be aware of domestic pets if you are planning to position a Barn Owl nest box within a residential garden please call for advice before purchasing an Owl box.

Our Nest Box Design
Our nest boxes are large, spacious & most important they are built to last. Also they are designed to blend perfectly within the countryside.

Fixing Bracket
This can be found inside the nest box when it arrives, to access the bracket, simply undo the four screws on the roof, your instructions will also be found inside when entering.

Nest Boxes in stock
We normally always stock nest boxes because we need them to support the ongoing projects we are involved in. All boxes are made at the Barn Owl Centre's workshop by our team of Owl Conservationists.

FOR DELIVERY PURPOSES ONLY
Can we kindly ask if we can be supplied with a contact telephone number when you place your order, this can be very useful if the courier becomes lost or if for some reason they have a problem finding the delivery address you have given. Our courier can call you for directions if we struggle to find you; some properties are sometimes harder to find than others especially if they are in remote areas of the countryside. Our aim is to get the nest box to you. MANY THANKS.

If you need to contact us for any reason, this you can do at any time, including evenings, please note that we do operate a 24hr Rescue Centre too. For office hours, the best time to call is between 9am until 9pm, evenings are better though.

Please try not to send emails because we are very slow to respond due to other work commitments. A telephone call is much better because we can advise you better. Telephone: 01452 383999
