Bring out your inner carpenter while providing barred owls a suitable dwelling with this Coveside Unassembled Barred Owl House. Barred owls are one of the few varieties of owl that will take to a man-made nesting box, making this generous home an ideal solution for their needs. This package of 7, easy-to-assemble panels is sustainably sourced from aged eastern pine, for you to personally construct this durable and naturally beautiful dwelling for these birds of prey. The front panel of the abode features a 6" diameter entry, while gaps at the corners of the base panel facilitate proper drainage for a comfortable interior. A pair of holes on each side panel allows additional ventilation, making sure the roost remains comfortable for fledgling owlets. Two bags of included wood chips help create a proper nesting area for roosting owls while preventing their eggs from rolling around the inside of the house. The rough hewn texture of the pine lends fledglings extra grip as they enter and exit the roost, and a divided, latched side panel makes cleaning the dwelling and observing nesting owls simple. Once assembled, this substantial unit should be situated 10' to 20' high up in a tree, with the entrance turned away from prevailing wind, for proper placement. The rustic appearance of the pine panels will naturally weather over time and with exposure to the elements, ensuring the home remains an inconspicuous option just as these owls prefer. Simply use the included hardware and clear instructions to construct the home with the pre-cut panels, letting you quickly and easily provide a fitting shelter for these feathered friends. Give birds of prey in your area a comfortable and suitable respite while completing an outdoor project with this Unassembled Barred Owl House. Assembly required. Made in the USA.
