Product information "Little Owl Box No. 20B"

integrated forced ventilation at the end of the box, ensures draught-free and light-protected air exchange inside the boxes
protected against martens by two entrance holes offset behind each other
easy control from the front

Occupant:

Little Owl

Material:

Wooden strips on wooden or wood-concrete rings, sheathed in high-quality, sanded roofing felt.

Forced ventilation:

The unique, forced ventilation system which is built into the end of the box enables stale air to be replaced without causing a draught. This system also ensures that no light can enter the box. The amount of droppings and the resulting moisture, which can otherwise adversely affect the successful survival of the brood, is substantially reduced.

Size:

External shape: round, ∅ 23 cm
Length: 83 cm
Interior of brood chamber: ∅ 18 cm
Width of entrance hole: ∅ 65 mm

Assembly:

On practically all tree species except cherry trees, as here the harvesting season coincides with the nesting season. The boxes should be placed on a horizontal branch of a fruit tree or in white willows, with the entrance hole facing the trunk. This discourages interference by passers-by and also makes it easier for the Birds to fly in and out.
TIP! Ornithologists recommend always hanging a minimum of three boxes immediately adjacent to one another since the Birds will use one or more to store food and young Birds will use them as shelter. Such measures will considerably improve the survival prospects for this species.

Bedding:

Coarse sawdust or wood shavings and a mixture of sand and sawdust are ideal as bedding. Each of the four Little Owl Boxes is supplied with detailed description and maintenance instructions, and the Aluminium Nails needed to attach it to a branch.

Cleaning and inspection:

The entrance section can be completely removed, making it easier to clean and inspect the box from the front.

Delivery:

Supplied with clamping band and Aluminium Nails for fixing onto horizontal branches.

Weight:

approx. 8 kg
