Description
Control insects and rodents by attracting Screech Owls to your yard
Screech Owls are one of the easiest owls to attract to your area as they are found widely across the United States. Screech owls are always looking for a place to call home. The little 7" tall owls can become quite tame and will help keep your insect and rodent population under control. The small Screech Owls and Saw-whet Owls can have a hard time finding natural cavities because of the competition from other birds. Our Cedar Screech Owl Nest Box is a very popular alternative.

Where Should I Mount my Box?
Screech Owls like to nest in deep woods, preferably near swamps. Likes coniferous woods and evergreen thickets in parks and gardens. For best results mount 10 to 20 feet high in a large, dense tree. You may want to position this cedar birdhouse away from the houses of other birds.

I used the word amazing a lot because that’s what they are, amazing. Everyone I spoke to or emailed were very helpful. I will definitely be purchasing more products from them. it’s great to know that there are still companies out there that operate with integrity and want their customers to be happy. Thank you. Oh one more thing my Screech Owls thank you too best house they’ve ever had!
I initially had a minor issue with the house I ordered off of Amazon. I contacted JC’s and the customer service was professional, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. We’ve got it up and waiting for a family of Screech Owls to find it and call it home 🦉
Very sturdy bird box handcrafted from cedar by maker RAH. Design is super with large overhanging roof and product exhibits pride in construction. Can't wait to hang and find a renter!
It took two and a half years after putting it up, but we now have a Western Screech-Owl living in our box. We get to see it several times a day. Very cool.
I ordered this in October for a Christmas gift. It arrived the NEXT day in the best packaging I’ve even seen. There is no way possible for one of these to be damaged upon arrival. It was perfect and he absolutely loved it! I wanted something that would last and kept coming back to this one. Sooooo glad I did! I will definitely be ordering from here again!
