What kind of owls use this box?

Our owl box is designed for smaller cavity-nesting owls. It most often attracts Eastern and Western Screech Owls, Northern Saw-whet Owls, and Boreal Owls. In the southwest, Elf Owls may also use the box if the entrance is adjusted. Barn Owls may show some interest, but they usually prefer larger spaces. These species are excellent natural rodent controllers and thrive in backyards, farms, and wooded edges.

Where should I place my owl box?

Mount the box 10–15 feet (3–4.5 meters) above ground on a tree, pole, or building. Choose a location facing open ground but angled away from prevailing winds. Avoid spots blocked by branches or buildings—owls need a clear view of the entrance. Boxes are most successful near scattered trees, fields, or meadows, rather than in dense woods.

Are owls dangerous to pets or chickens?

The owls that use this box are too small to hunt cats, dogs, or chickens. They mainly eat mice, voles, and insects. While owls generally avoid prey that fights back, it’s best to keep very small kittens or young puppies away from the nesting area during breeding season. For most pets and backyard animals, these owls pose no risk.

How do I attract owls to my box?

There’s no lure or bait for owls—it comes down to location and patience. Mount the box at the correct height (10–15 feet / 3–4.5 meters), face it toward open ground, and avoid shaded or noisy areas. Keep the entrance visible and free of branches. If your property has rodents, meadows, or scattered trees, owls are more likely to move in. Once they find a safe nesting site, they often return year after year.

Why should I install an owl box?

Owl boxes provide safe nesting space for species that are losing natural tree cavities due to habitat loss. By hosting owls, you gain an ally in rodent control, reducing reliance on poisons or traps. Owls are shy, so while they won’t become tame, they offer a chance to observe natural behavior up close. Installing a box supports conservation and strengthens the balance of your local ecosystem.
