Handcrafted Wooden Screech Owl Roosting Box by Uncle Dunkels: A Secure Outdoor Nesting House

Provide a safe haven for your local owl population with the Uncle Dunkels Handcrafted Wooden Screech Owl Roosting Box. Designed to accommodate a variety of owl breeds, including eastern screech owls, western screech owls, saw-whet owls, and boreal owls, this sturdy nesting box has been meticulously assembled by hand using rust-proof decking screws and waterproof glue, ensuring it can withstand the elements when mounted outdoors.

Crafted by experienced artisans in southeastern Kentucky, each nesting house is individually handcrafted, showcasing superior craftsmanship and attention to detail. The box is constructed with solid pine wood, a long-lasting shingled roof, and a wildlife-friendly water-based decking stain, giving it a weathered barn wood appearance.

In addition to its durable design, this owl nesting box meets the specifications set by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for a proper bird shelter. The correctly sized entry hole, adequate floor and head space, an interior fledgling ladder, air vents, and a door with a latch for easy cleaning, all contribute to creating an ideal habitat for your feathered friends.

Measuring 11.75 inches deep, 12.25 inches wide, and 19 inches tall, with an interior floor space of 8 inches by 8 inches, this roosting box provides ample room for your local owl population to thrive. Weighing 9.8 pounds (4.45 kg), it is a substantial and sturdy structure that can be mounted 10-30 feet high on a live tree or pole.

To ensure a successful owl nesting experience, we have included pine shavings to be used as nesting material, as well as two 3-inch stainless steel screws and washers for easy installation. To prevent unwanted guests, such as squirrels, from accessing the roosting box, it is recommended to place the box on a pole with a predator guard, keeping it well away from nearby trees.
