What many people don’t know is that these amazing little owls often find it challenging to locate and secure naturally occurring homes in nature which, often consist of nesting cavities abandoned by woodpeckers. This lack of habitat can be caused by high-density housing developments as well as...
Some put boxes in trees, some prefer to fix it to the wall of a building. It's not rocket science, rather common sense. Good to know is that those owls like to have a good view from their nesting spot. Easy to spot potential predators & potential stuff to eat. If you want to hel...

Abandoned woodpecker holes in deciduous trees are typically used for nests, but these owls will also use artificial nesting boxes. Interestingly, females will breed indiscriminately with various males in any given season, having more than one clutch of eggs.As soon as the chicks have feathers, she...
Over the last 33 years, my company’s methods of installing owl nesting boxes have been imitated a few times. There was a retired truck driver, a wildlife trapper, and even a surf boy down the street. None of these imitators have ever had trained raptors or owned a bird for that matte...
parallel with numbers of small rodents, the staple prey of Tengmalm's owls and pine martens. Tengmalm's owl clutches had a higher probability of being preyed upon in nest boxes where the previous clutch had been taken than in boxes where there had been a successful nesting the previous year...
An attractive green nest box made from 18mm exterior grade plywood and designed in association with BirdLife Netherlands to be suitable for the little owl (Athene noctua). The large nesting chamber provides enough space for owlets to exercise their wings without leaving the safety of the nest bo...
Still a couple/few weeks away from ‘expected’ regular box re-occupancy here in the northeast, but there have been some screech owls observed visiting their boxes. One by box cam (site 2) and one stayed for one day (site 3). Maybe just a bit of keeping track of their property portfo...
Most information of this type relates to the Tengmalm's (Boreal) Owl Aegolius funereus, which nests readily in boxes and has been studied at many localities in Europe (Figure 19.5). In this species, the males in some regions are mainly resident and the females more dispersive. Both sexes ...
Conservation efforts focused on creating artificial nest boxes, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, and raising public awareness about the importance of barn owls, which are crucial for their continued survival. By providing alternative nesting sites and reducing harmful human activities, we can ...
