With the ever-changing environments due to new building sites and expansion of new developments on greenfield sites, the owls have had a real tough time establishing new environments to roost and nest.
Our Field Cabins are made from FSC approved, pressure treated 12mm Garnica plywood with waterproof joints and is fully sealed. The body is painted with environmentally friendly Protek paint to ensure this is a durable and robust box. There is a landing platform which acts as the exercise platform for fledglings, this is imperative for the safety of young birds. We have fitted an inspection hatch at the base of the box to ensure easy cleaning out of debris at the end of the season.
The best place to put up a Field Cabin nest box is on the edge of a large open field, pastureland or on the edge of a wooden area, generally at a height of at least 3 metres above the ground. The ideal space is facing the open landscape facing away from prevailing winds. As our boxes are designed to be used or mounted onto a tree or pole outdoors, it makes them very versatile as they are completely weatherproof. Make sure there is a clear flight line into the box. Please see the specification sheet for dimensions.
All the timber I use is 19mm thick European redwood Pine and is sourced from a U.K company with a superb sustainability policy. The timber is left natural rough sawn to enable the fledglings to climb out when they are ready to leave the box. The boxes are made from a very durable and robust thickness of timber that is chunky and strong. It will be resilient to all weathers and has proved to be a lovely home for many breeding birds and even a resting space overnight for individual birds.
