Screech Owl/Saw Whet Owl House

Description

Screech Owl/ Saw Whet Owl House. Rough-sawn cedar that mimics trees. Angled roof, floor drainage holes, vent holes under side roof line. 3" entrance hole that opens for cleaning. Kerfs on front for grip.
Place on tree at least 10 feet high. 15 to 20 ft. is preferable. Shady location, if possible, below tree canopy for clear flight path for owls. South facing is best.
Screech owls are nocturnal, hunting in the first hours of darkness. They are ferocious hunters, seeking garden insects and small rodents. They generally avoid humans, dogs and cats. They can be found in residential areas, or along highways. Eastern screech owls inhabit woodlands, forests, wooded suburban areas, and along streams and wetlands. They range from Canada to Mexico.
23 1/2" high, 5 1/2" wide, 6 1/2" deep.
My birdhouses are made from natural, untreated cedar. The oils in cedar make it resistant to rot and insect damage. It is also resistant to temperature and weather conditions. Although it will turn gray over time, it does not need to be painted or stained.
My cedar is unfinished from the mill. It will have knots, bends, saw marks and other characteristics of this type of wood. Quality of construction is not compromised by this, and my birdhouses will give years of beauty to your property, and benefit to the birds, also.
