They will also inhabit urban areas where wooded parks or large gardens provide attractive habitat.As a cavity nesting species they will naturally use large cavities in trees. However in our highly modified landscape, available large tree cavities are often rare and putting up a tawny owl nest box can provide a nest site where there is a shortage of natural sites.Our Tawny Owl Nest Box may appear strange as it is more like a tube than a box - but this is just the way that tawny owls prefer them. It is designed to replicate a hollow branch or tree cavity that would be used naturally. These owl boxes are best strapped or fixed to the underside of a branch at an angle of about 45 degrees to the vertical with a clear flight path to the entrance. Alternatively, they can be fixed to the trunk of a tree by screwing a diagonal batten onto the middle of the nest box, and then fixing the ends of this batten to the tree.Features:Our tawny owl box provides a safe and comfortable nest site for these charismatic owls.Manufactured from precision cut exterior grade plywood to provide a long lasting owl box.Each nest box features a well drained floor and hatch providing easy access to the nesting area.The Tawny Owl Nest Box is best sited in woodland where providing an artificial nest site can be hugely beneficial for this species.Specifications:Materials: Exterior Grade PlywoodConstruction: Panels stapled together with surface sunk staples and softwood battenFinish: Non-toxic water based stain and preservativeFixing: No fixings on box: designed for strapping to branch or attachment of battenDimensions and WeightDimensions: Overall height: 76cm, Overall width: 20cm, Overall Depth: 22cm, Depth of enclosed box: 34cm, Capacity: 0.09 m35kg
