Build your own JCs Wildlife Barn Owl Box with Exercise Platform with this Do It Yourself Assembly Kit!

Now you can enjoy the process of putting one of these boxes together with your own hands. This is a great project to do with children to get them involved with outdoor projects. You can have the satisfaction of a product you made hanging in your yard for your friends and family to see. Not only having the handmade kit hanging up, it also gives you the chance to enjoy having wildlife in your backyard!

Comes with full instructions on assembly and mounting. Modeled after the design of owl expert Steve Simmons, this box meets the specific needs of the Barn Owl.

The entrance hole is elliptical in shape to provide protection from predators including raccoons and Great Horned Owls. Additionally, there is an interior divider separating the box into two compartments. Should a predator be able to reach into the box, they will be unable to reach the owl or owlets on the other side of the divider.

The entrance hole is also placed in consideration of young owlets to prevent them from being pushed out of the box by others behind them especially as they all seek to be fed first. Special "grip" grooves underneath the entrance hole also help the adult owl gain access into the box.

Under the entrance hole is a newly added platform where owlets that are learning to fly can land on the perch instead of falling out of the box, and adult barn owls can guide owlets back in if they are not ready. This platform extends 7 inches out from the nesting box and wraps around the front and sides of the box.

A door at the end of the box allows for easy access to the interior - making clean out a simple and quick task. This also provides easy access to mount a wildlife camera in the box, so you can enjoy viewing your young owlets during their growth process.

Nesting Material: Although Barn Owls can and will find their own nesting material, a bag of pine shavings is included with your Barn Owl Box Kit. Scattering some on the floor of the box when mounting will make the Box more appealing to the owl. If you need to replace the nesting material, pine shavings are the safest option.

** Cedar should not be used as the dust and fumes has been known to irritate young owls. **

This nesting comes comes included with stainless steel mounting screws for easy installation of our newly designed mounting system. Three total mounting strips are included in the kit to mount your box to the desired location.

** No paint or varnish should be applied to the interior. Use of these finishes on the interior of the box could deter Barn Owls from nesting. **

Large Barn Owl Nesting Box Do It Yourself Assembly

Went together well, patiently waiting for occupancy

Large Barn Owl Nesting Box Do It Yourself Assembly Kit

Box came very damaged with a lot of packing tape having been added by UPS just to hold it together (the kit is multiple pieces of wood, some weighing a few pounds, little or no padding so the pieces just smashed around inside until box tore). Also, pine shavings not in box (may have fallen out of the large holes in packing box.Kit itself easy to put together and looks good-we hope it attracts a nice owl!

Large Barn Owl Nesting Box Do It Yourself Assembly Kit

Item came in a timely fashion. I thought I had ordered the house that was already put together but instead it came unassembled. It was well packaged. However it was complicated to put together. There were also pieces not included such as screws a 2 x 4 board, handsaw, etc.. also we did not know we would need power tools to put this house together. So I had to run out to the hardware store to pick up these components before I could put the house together. Directions were difficult because the boards weren’t labeled. They were labeled by measurements so you had to measure the board to find out if it was board A,B,C,D etc. Once the owl house was put together it looked really nice. As soon as weather gets a little better we’re going to put it in the tree.

Woodpeckers love it!

We have 4 of these JCS suet feeders in various sizes. The woodpeckers really like them. All birds like them but the woodpeckers seem to have an easier time using these feeders. So happy I purchased these!

JCS Wildlife Large Fly Thru Bird Feeder

This is by far the nicest bird feeder I have purchased. I love the pull out tray for easy emptying and cleaning. The material that this is constructed from is very nice. I added a suet cage to each side by simply using a cable tie. These are very nice bird feeders. They will stand up against the elements.

Holy Smokes! It Works!

After years of watching my wife fix bird feeders and search for missing suet cages, I was about to give up on finding ways to deter our clever raccoons. Greasing the poles, various guard products--all failed as we would watch our camera feeds and marvel at the agility and dexterity of or four-legged opponents. I was about to give up on finding ways to deter our clever raccoons. Greasing the poles, various guard products, all failed as we would watch our camera feeds and marvel at the agility and dexterity of or four-legged opponents. I finally came across this product and bought one to see if it would work. The video footage shows the racoon try and try again—they were unable to get a purchase on the tapered tube as it would shift on the springs. Bottom line, months later, the bird feeders are exclusively being patronized by….birds! As a bonus, the squirrels are foiled as well.

Birds love this product...highly recommended

This attracts a variety birds....titmice, Hairy/Downy/RedBellied/ woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees, an occasional bluebird, blue jay, red-wing blackbird, finches, and more. There were birds on this cylinder within 30 seconds me hanging it.

Perfect!

Bird house is perfect! So well made and pretty! Placed it on a shepherds hook and see activity around it already. Will be a nice winter home for now.
