Recycled Poly Lumber Barred Owl Nesting Box - Made in USA

The JCs Wildlife Barred Owl Nesting Box is a great way to invite Barred Owls to your home. Designed with an overhanging roof that extends 2.5 inches over the front, this nesting box provides protection from the elements for your owls. Notably, no perches exist outside the box, which could potentially serve as vantage points for predators or expose young owlets.

Crafted from recycled poly lumber, this nesting box is built to last for seasons to come. Guaranteed never to crack, split, or fade, the durable construction ensures long-lasting use. The box's dimensions measure 24" H x 15.5" W x 15.25" D, with a 7" x 7" entrance hole situated 11" above the floor.

Designed specifically for Barred Owls, this box features several key elements to meet the needs of its intended occupants. The semi-circular 7-inch entrance hole allows for easy access in and out, while the single-room interior provides a comfortable nesting space. Grip grooves on the front facilitate entry for adult owls returning from hunting.

For easy maintenance, the box includes a clean-out door at the end, enabling quick access to the interior. This feature also allows for the installation of a wildlife camera, enabling you to observe the growth and development of any owlets that may take up residence.

Mounting hardware is included with the Barred Owl Box, consisting of three mounting strips, six 3" screws, eight 1 1/4" screws, and a bag of pine shavings. The pine shavings can be added to the floor of the box to create a more appealing nesting environment for the owls.

When placing the Barred Owl Box, it is recommended to mount it 12-15 feet high in a live tree. Barred Owls generally prefer mixed forests near water sources, where they can find a diverse range of small prey such as squirrels, mice, voles, rabbits, and small birds. To avoid territorial conflicts, multiple boxes should be placed at least 1 mile apart and away from human habitation.

Invite the Barred Owls in your area to move into a nesting box tailored specifically to their needs. With its durable construction, thoughtful design, and easy-to-use features, the JCs Wildlife Barred Owl Nesting Box provides an inviting and safe home for these fascinating birds of prey.
