protected against martens through odorant
integrated forced ventilation due to large ventilation slot in the roof
telescopic tube for variable and horizontal installation

This model has five special features:

Quadrant shape for enlarged floor space.
The design of the two sides of the roof provides an air gap running along the entire ridge which is very important for providing ventilation.
One side of the roof can be removed to provide easy access for inspection and cleaning.
A telescopic, galvanized steel rod is ideal for level mounting on trees which, because of their size or lack of horizontal branches (e.g., a pear tree), would normally be unsuitable for Little Owl Boxes.
Martens are repelled by aromatic repellent.

Occupant:

Little Owl

Material:

wooden strips on shaped wooden parts and galvanised steel parts, sheathed in high-quality sanded roofing felt.

Size:

approx. W 28 x H 23 x D 93 cm
Brood interior: r ≈ 16 cm
Entrance hole: ∅ 65 mm

Installation:

Little Owl tube for installation on trees without any suitable horizontal branches (three-point mounting).
On practically all tree species except cherry trees, as here the harvesting season coincides with the nesting season. Mount 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.

Cleaning and inspection:

Through the cleaning flap in the side

Delivery:

Together with flexible metal fixing strips and telescopic tube. A detailed description and maintenance instructions are included.

General information about SCHWEGLER Little Owl Boxes

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.

Material: All the boxes have an aperture for inspection and cleaning purposes. They are made of a ring of wood or wood-concrete (depending on the model) surrounded by wooden battens and roofing felt.

Delivery: Together with flexible metal fixing strips and Aluminium Nails.

Assembly: 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. The Type No. 22 box is additionally suitable for mounting on trees without horizontal branches.
