Barn owls are one of the few owls that are easily attracted to nest boxes. Such boxes should be rather large--about 16w x 16 h x 20 deep or larger. The entrance hole diameter should be between 5 and 6 inches, and the box should either be attached to an outbuilding, hung in a tree, or mounted on a pole. Eight to ten feet up is adequate. The owls are excellent at finding cavitiies--it is the dark entrance hole that attracts their curiosity. There are plenty of barn owl nest box plans on the internet, and a couple of companies make and sell them. There is a new, lightweight barn owl box on the market made out of molded plastic that is easy to install. It is made by The Barn Owl Box Company. Barn owls are excellent for natural rodent control on private property, farms, etc. Be sure to read more about barn owl Biology on the internet.
