Esschert Design NK44

During the day, the little owls hide and sleep, becoming active during dusk and at night. In a natural environment, they nestle in hollow trees and caves. Since these nesting locations are becoming increasingly scarce, this little owl box is an excellent nesting alternative for these birds, which can grow up to 23 cm (10.2”). The small section in the front of the nesting box will be used for the chicks when feeding. Choose a quiet place on a tree trunk at a height of 3 to 5 metres (9.8/16.4 ft) to attach the little owl box. Place the nesting box in a part of the tree where the leaves aren’t too thick, so that the owls can easily reach it. Make sure the entrance hole is facing south to southeast; otherwise, rain may get in. Choose a shady spot for the little owl box to prevent heat from rising during the summer months. Install the box at a slight angle of about 5° to the back. Little owls like to use other nesting boxes simultaneously for food storage or in case of danger. It can be cleaned every two to three years, between the months of October and December. Cleaning is done by unscrewing the two screws on the back. Suitable for the little owl. Fixtures not included.
