Owl nesting boxes are constructed from standard, tongue and groove pine ceiling boards, on a 30mm x 30mm pine frame. Barn owls and spotted eagle owls have learnt to live in close proximity with humans. Barn owls are common residents in most open habitats. People poison rats and mice. One of South Africa’s most common owl species is the spotted eagle owl (Bubo africanus). Ideally the box should be shielded from rain and excessive sun by the trunk and foliage. Keep in mind that the presence of a nesting box doesn’t necessarily mean owls will settle there. Step 1: Start by tracing the six panels – four walls, the roof and floor – of the construction onto the planks. Owls aren’t just beautiful creatures to have around - they can also keep garden pests at bay. Step 4: In our construction we then fixed the galvanised sheet roof cover, painted with an all-purpose undercoat, using a few short screws to keep it in place. At its highest point, the box measures 455mm. Please do not use poisons to get rid of vermin. There are also various people in South Africa who construct owl nest boxes and their contact details can be obtained from BoPWG. At its highest point, the box measures 455mm. Spotted Eagle Owls are the most common owl species in South Africa. All data collected goes to research on urban owl species. We also used 40 x 40mm brass screws and wood glue to assemble the owl nesting box, and an exterior marine-quality wood sealer. Take note that except for two side walls, each component has a different shape and size to suit a specific purpose. Step 5: We applied three coats of the sealer to the exterior and entrance area of the nesting box. hole in the case of the Barn Owl, and large access holes in all four sides in the case of the Spotted Eagle Owl. The Owl Box Project was started in 2014 as part of urban raptor research and conservation. This owl nesting box has a slanted roof and a floor that incorporates an extended landing and perch platform. To provide additional weatherproofing to the roof, we cut a sheet slightly larger than the roof measurements from a waste sheet of galvanised sheeting. It’s worthwhile spending a little extra on a good wood sealer and making sure you have three good coats on the wood. Make sure to work according to your plan when assembling the box. The two types of boxes are in essence the same, with the exception that the access hole is restricted to one … Give an owl a home. A power screwdriver makes light work of assembly. A small landing area (15cm x 10cm) should be attached to the Barn Owl box at the base of the access hole. Education presentations are done for schools, enviro-clubs and other interested groups to encourage a better understanding of owls and the important role they play in the environment. Clifford Roberts and Andries Eygelaar demonstrate how to build an owl nesting box. See the following link for a practical and relatively simple method of owl nest box construction: Nest box construction for Barn Owls or Spotted Eagle Owls. Eagle owls are predators of pest species. Step 6: All that remained was to mount the box outside. Instead, put up a nesting box and let the owls take care of the problem the natural way. Where possible, landowners who are choosing poison free solutions to rodent problems are encouraged to make use of owls and owl boxes as an option. The roof measures 60 x 457mm; the floor, which incorporates a landing platform, measures 580mm on its longest side and 457mm on the opposite side (see adjoining photograph); the side walls, which will have the top edges slanting towards the entrance, measure 429mm at the high point and 329mm at the lower end; the rear panel measures 450 x 457mm and the roof-side edge must be cut at an angle to accommodate the slanting roof (use a bevel square tool); and the front panel measures 350 x 228.5mm.
