Green Feathers Owl Nest Box
- In stock, ready to ship
This wooden owl box is a great example. It's been handmade by expert artisans in order to provide a perfect habitat for native larger bird species such as Little Owls, Kestrels and Stock Doves.
Constructed from timber that's specially treated with varnish and wax, ensuring that it can be permanently installed in an exposed location without being damaged by the elements. All timber treatments are also safe for animals.
For best results install the box at quite a height (at least 3 metres above ground) on a mature tree with good visibility.
Height: 500mm
Opening Hole: 150mm×100mm
Place it outside in a quiet, sheltered spot 2–4 metres up, with a clear flight path and some nearby cover (like hedges or shrubs). For best results in the UK, face it north or east to reduce wind and overheating.
Most nesting activity happens during the breeding season from March to August, with a busy peak in spring. If you can, install your box in autumn or winter so birds can scout it out early.
Clean boxes between September and February, once nesting has finished, to support hygiene and conservation. Remove old material, then rinse with boiling water (no chemicals) and let it dry fully before putting it back up.
Sometimes, but some birds prefer space, while others tolerate neighbours, so choosing the right nest box (and spacing) makes a real difference. As a simple rule, give boxes room apart unless you’re targeting social species, and avoid clustering them right by a busy window or doorway.
