Tawny Owls are known for their distinctive hooting calls and their ability to adapt to a variety of habitats, including woodlands, parks, and gardens. Our Tawny Owl Box is designed to mimic the tree cavities where Tawny Owls typically roost and nest. It provides a secure and cozy shelter that encourages successful breeding.Constructed using high-quality and sustainably sourced 18mm ply, the Tawny Owl Box offers excellent durability and protection against the elements. Its sturdy construction and precise design ensure a safe haven for Tawny Owls to roost, rest, and rear their young.The spacious interior and strategically placed entrance hole provide ample space for the owlets to roam around, while staying safe in the box.
We aim to ship all boxes in 5 to 7 days of order placement. However, at busy times this can be up to 3 weeks due to the nature of hand finishing each product.
The exceptions to this are Apex boxes and Bespoke boxes which can take up to 4 weeks to manufacture.
Shipping rates are based on your order weight.
Shipping charges range from £5.00 to £20, with most boxes shipping at £13.00.
We currently only ship to addresses within the UK.
Our boxes are made from 18mm sustainably sourced ply.
The ply has excellent water resistance, the surface is breathable and water vapour can move freely. This is one of the reasons why our ply will not delaminate, unlike others available. You do not need to treat the ply prior to mounting the box.
The paint used on roofs of boxes (if applicable) is a water based, heat reflective, roofing paint.
All screws used are stainless steel. We design the boxes to minimise our reliance on screws.
Detailed instructions will come with your box.
Tawny Owls like to live in and around woods. The boxes are best sited towards the edge of the wood, 3-5 metres above the ground affixed to the side of tree away from the prevailing wind. The chicks like some ground cover to protect them when they are ‘branching’ or climbing around before they fledge.
A few inches of clean soil or potting compost make a good substrate in the boxes and this should be cleaned out in the autumn.
There is no need to treat or paint the boxes prior to putting them up. If you desire to paint the box, we suggest using a water-based, non-toxic paint. Top tip: paint the box before mounting.
We suggest inspecting the box once a year when you are very confident there are no nesting birds using it.
