Flyte Barn Owl Nest Box - made in England by Flyte so Fancy. This Owl Box has been designed and made with great care to be the optimum requirement for these wonderful birds. It provides the security and space they need to help them nest in safety.

With guidance from The Barn Owl Trust, we have created a home to be mounted on a barn or in a large tree (see the Specification & Installation tab). The best height for a Barn Owl Box is at least 12 ft, and within 200 ft of water. They can face in any direction, with a clear view of hunting grounds, and you can mount two Owl Boxes nearby as long as they are at least 100ft apart.

The Barn Owl Box is approx 2ft 8in high by 2ft at its widest by 2ft 7in max deep. The optimum size and design for Barn Owls and built to last.

Delivered ready assembled but does require shelf and braces to be attached. It is very large; weighing about 25kg. The metal brackets at the back are screwed into support frames so you need to swivel them around, into the place you need them to be, and using appropriate screws (for the medium you are attaching it to) attach securely through both available holes. Screws are not supplied as we would not know what you are attaching them to or what length is required.

Made from bird-safe pressure-treated (rot-resistant) timber throughout with an exterior plywood floor; it is beautifully finished, very substantial and will last for many years.

The base/floor floor is the widest dimension, to allow a good floor space inside, and the sides taper in towards the roof eaves. The roof overhangs the front balcony like a porch to provide protection for the entrance hole and the balcony.

The overhang shields the entrance hole from the weather and allows the owlet fledglings protection when they venture onto the balcony. This balcony shelf allows the fledglings space to sit and assess their new world and has a raised edge to prevent them from falling.

Under the balcony is a 'human' access hatch for cleaning, which is normally done between November and January but only perhaps every 2 - 3 years. The best time to install your Barn Owl Box is December-January.
