Owl box ready to put into tree

Hi Hameryllis......Great looking box you've made there.......I'm sure you'll have plenty of tenants........and to have Barn Owls coming into your garden........twit-twoo.....lucky you!

Maybe put up a sign.... ALL OWLS WELCOME...

BARN, TAWNY, EAGLE, GREAT GREY, SHORT-EARED, SNOWY, TENGMALM'S, AFRICAN MARSH ETC. ETC. ......................................:o)

Thanks Janey.
I don't think I'd know a Tengmalm if was perched on the end of my nose Terra.

Lol......but the Tengmalm will know you, Hameryllis....
....wise old owl.... :o)

I see you two are at it again,

Hi Yorkshire.... are you following us ? Lol. :o)

yes I am following you T.. and having a good laugh at you,

Lol...he he he ..hoot.. hoot.. hoot.. .:o)

Hi Hameryllis, we've a few ordinary bird boxes up (with tiny holes) & thought of an owl box but were apprehensive about the squirrels nicking any eggs as the hole would be so big. We've lots of owls hooting around us here at night & it would be nice to see what kind they were.

That is one of the problems with having a nest box with such a large opening, cottage, but I think a sqirrel wouldn't want to mess with a Tawny. They vicious when protecting thier nest.If you hear hooting, apart from Janey and Terratoonie, then its Tawny Owls. They also make a warbling noise,we heard this the other night.

Hoot.... it wasn't me..honestly... hoot...
..warble...warble... warble... :o)

Hope you have success with your box Hameryllis.....

Yes....
...please let us know if the owl box gets occupants...
Thanks :o)

She who must be obeyed and I bought two nest boxes from our local Aldi store today because they came with cameras.They were only £39.99 each,less than half what you would expect to pay for the cameras alone.
I will install one camera in the owl box and the otther one a few feet away to see if there is any activity.

Well,that WAS a bargain ! Good luck !

Thanks Bonkers.
Will do Terra. Be careful with the noises, you might get propositioned by one of our feathered friends.

Lol...only budgie noises here...
and....wow....good prices for those...
Hoping you get some good footage of the owls :o)

Do you mean Talonage, Terra, or maybe clawage ?

The last comment was meant to be from me.PamD was sign in instead of me,
innit

...or plumage... ?

This is getting very confusing...Lol...

If the owls can't afford a mortgage, they will have to get the owl box on "higher perches".....LOL LOL LOL

I don't know how you think up these 'owlers Terra. I'm stuck for a response.
