Are Barn Owls territorial and will having several nest boxes in the same field be a problem?
Barn Owls are not suppose to be territorial. In fact, it has been found that if there is a shortage of male Barn Owls in an area the male will mate, feed and protect multiple females (luck guy.) Barn Owls have a very high mortality rate and they seem to instinctually know that their survival as a species depends on numbers. The more nesting sites you have, the more Barn Owls you will get and that means your rodent populations will decline.
