The Wildlife World Barn Owl Box developed jointly with experienced owl conservationists.
As a result, it provides a safe and suitable nest site for breeding barn owls.
This model has a straight-sided design which uses lightweight yet durable materials.
This gives barn owls a long-lasting nest site which is easier to install than heavier alternatives.

Therefore, position the Barn Owl Box on a tree in the open, in a building or on a barn at the edge of woodland.
After finding a suitable location, firstly you should site the box high up, 2.
5m - 5m, ideally facing east, NE or SE.
Secondly, remember to ensure a clear flight path to the box.
Barn owls are particularly vulnerable to being hit by traffic because of their low-level hunting style.
Therefore, you should not locate your Barn Owl Box within 1/2 mile of major roads.
The presence of vole-rich grasslands and less intensively managed habitat is the key to success in selecting a nest box site.
