Tawny Owl Birdhouse

This tawny owl birdhouse by Esschert Design Best for Birds is designed for tawny owls. The tawny owl is an owl species that lives in gardens and parks in addition to wooded areas. Because older trees in forests and parks are disappearing more and more, and therefore also their habitat, the tawny owl is increasingly looking for gardens with suitable birdhouses. By hanging this tawny owl birdhouse nest box in your garden, you can help this protected species to stay in the Netherlands and Belgium. The tawny owl birdhouse is made of FSC-certified pine wood and is very durable due to the high quality of this wood. It also has a flight hole that is specially designed for the tawny owl. Due to the fairly large opening, it may also be possible for a jackdaw, a wood pigeon or even a duck to move into the birdhouse. The tawny owl birdhouse is easy to mount on a tree. It is also lightweight due to the material and easy to clean. We recommend that you check and clean the nest box after the residence period, for example in September. You can remove all nest remains and place new twigs or wood chips in the nesting area. The breeding season of the tawny owl is February/June, they then lay 3 to 4 eggs and can have a nest once a year. If you want to hang a birdhouse for the tawny owl, there are a number of important points you should pay attention to: It is important that the place where you hang the birdhouse is sheltered by other trees; Before you hang the birdhouse, put some twigs or wood chips in the birdhouse, the tawny owl does not build a nest itself!; Place the birdhouse with the entrance hole in a south-easterly direction, not directly in the bright sun or on the rainy side; Hang the tawny owl birdhouse at a height of approximately 4 to 6 meters above the ground and not above a pond/water pool, young owls that jump out of the nest box may drown.
