Thank you, that was wonderful.

thank you so much!

makes me think of the ''ms jackson'' outkast video

That is called a bobbing head, it helps owls to hear their surroundings better and know where a potential prey is.

Such a wholesome and helpful video. Thank you!

What is lovee... Baby dont hurt me.. Don't hurt me.. no moreee..

I just wanted to give a big thanks my dad just brought home a baby barn owl and without this i would’ve been completely lost! Happy to say it’s first feeding and watering went so smooth all thanks to your video!

Squirrels take over any and all owl boxes we put up out here.

I like that commercial "safety" tether. At least when he falls he won't be far from the bottom of the ladder😂

Thanks so much for a great video!

great video, Any info in where to buy the plastic mesh? I don't recall ever seeing any before

lovely video

Thanks for a good video. However, get that childish pigtail removed, If you only knew what you look like😂

We have a large cattle shed which has sliding doors that are closed at night when cattle are inside but it has a side entrance that is always open is it a risk the barn owls would get confused with the door opening and closing even if there is an alternative entrance?

Thank you very much for a great video, very helpful indeed

hello, why not lamb meat?

This video is so so old but I desperately expect a reply. He’s just not swallowing it push it back but he’s not swallowing at all

What about wind turbines, should you erect a box near a wind farm in a shed

Superb clear info. Thank you. 😊 I have a couple of potential sites but both are potentially accessible by neighbours cats which take lots of wildlife. Are cats a problem with owls? 🤔

Thank you for making this design freely available & for the expert construction by Jasmine, she is a next level champion with the flame torch! We’ve got 2 acres of long grass full of voles , great hunting for owls but the only nest sites are a long way off so we’re keen to give them a local home 😊

No barn owls here in Finland, but this video was still informative. I'm making boxes for owls of the strix family.

In the American west we put a partial wall just inside the entrance to deter predators. We also drill ventilation holes at the top of the sides of the box as heat can build up and kill owlets. All of this is easily looked up on the internet if you’d like a clearer understanding.

Thank you sir. I am a french Buddhist monk in Thailand and i keep on finding these (all size and types) baby owls. Cant always get them back up in those 50+ meters trees. Never really bothered to look into properly taking care of them. Stupidly did it the same way i take care of the plethora of baby pigeons i get too. Lets see if this time he can survive. Blessings

I rescue baby potoo. Fell from a tree. I did place back the bird. But the mum did not show up.. .. I wondered about the water. Can it be just water?

I just made one, following the video. It came out really well. I made it an enjoyable project, and worked on it a couple of hours at a time. It was fun. Thank you. The barn owls will love it, hopefully

Helping me rn literally rn I found a baby owl rn and I was really unsure how to help him and idk where his mom is

Good video, appreicate the details and claification.

If I have only seen a owl 1 in 4 year and herd owls do you think I would get a barn owl a nest box

I doubt this post will be looked at. However if so i found a owlette. I cannot locate the nest nor no vet experienced to handle the little guy. We found him after a really bad storm. Cold an shivering. Like other birds we left it be. Not knowing barn owl wont help em unless the whole nest is lost. So hear i sit watching your vids. He seems fine. Feathers barely growing on the wings, he very vocal. I been slowly getting it to drink, gonna try feeding soon. Kinda was scared of the bite more than its talons. Needless to say i discovered 8 new holes in my hand lol. Any advice to help the survival of this owl be great. Kinda alone and putting it back where we found it Will kill it at 30 degree weather.

Great video

I have Barn Owls on my property….currently snow has blanketed are area and I’m worried for them. How many days can a Barn Owl survive without food. They stay huddled on top of a nesting box and I’m not seeing them fly. I’ve cleared a large area of snow under the next box and spread cracked corn in hopes of attracting varmint. If I don’t see them eat after day 2 I’ll have to try to find a way to rescue I assume. This video is most helpful.

What´s a fantastic barn owl nest box design! Thank you so much for this tutorial and the others you have available in the channel. You have a really valuable work. Since some years ago, we (ULULA Association, devoted to owl study and conservation) are deploying several nest boxes with this design in Murcia (SE Spain) and they are working so good ;D

Thank you

Is it a 2×1 batten

my personal experiences with shallow door boxes is that they are not good. 1. Juveniles can access out, way before they are able to fledge. They WILL fall out. 2. Boxes should be deep enough for the debris of two nestings in a year with their buildup to not allow the owlets to access and fall out. 3. porches are malarkey. They invite predatory activity by great horned owls and others. 4. Don't build a porch, Instead, build perches with in twenty or so feet. These could be snags or poles with cross members. When the owlets begin to fledge, if they can make their flights to a decent perch quickly, it gives them confidence and a breather. We have a deep box on our barn. Each year when we clean it out we get almost two five gallon buckets of debris out of it. And that's the way it is in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon USA

Thank you so much sir, I recently got 2 chicks of this beautiful creature and was really worried about their food. Thanx to you now I am ready😊

I found one yesterday that had been hit by a car and was on the road in 45 degree Celsius heat. Put it in a box with food and water and as you said it wouldn't drink or eat. No animal rescue or vet for hundreds of kilometers around where I live. Information from this video saved it's life, is there anything that can be done for broken wings? I'd pay to have the owl transported to a vet if that would help it.

I have just built my first owl box nice and big well protected and ready to go up. One thing what base media should I use please. Member of BTO and others.

thankyou for the video I was really struggling how to feed a baby owl my dad found him near the road if ur wondering

Well done that young lady!

Very neat workmanship! Thank you also for demonstrating that it is perfectly possible to use a hand saw to cut plywood.

A brilliant video! Im thinking of building one for an outdoor spot at my yard. Would a hardwood ply or 0SB3 be appropriate for the construction? Thanks for such a explanatory video!

Hello, please help if you can. We have a barn owlet that fell out a nest. Unable to return it, we have been caring for it. We think about 3 weeks old. He seems to be health and was taking food well. Today though he has not been as keen and a few times we have found him lying on one side. Is there any normal explanation for this?

excellent presentation.

Great video but I personally wouldn’t use treated wood.

So cute ❤

Your video is very helpful, thank you.

Isn't that food too big a piece? Looks like the Barn Owl could choke on that.

i have a baby owl but not a unused paintbrush or tiny seringe at least he is no longer stuck in the chimney update : i tried and failed to give him sugar water with 1ml seringe - and i let him off outside he flew away and in to the bushes so i caught quickly after so my cat doesn't and put him in a cardboard box.. Will get beef or chicken later to feed him.. For now i tgink he needs rest.. As i write i hear more flapping coming from chimney maybe its a whole nest ...

Fantastic thank you!
