How Do You Build A Home For A Barn Owl?
The barn owl is the most common species of owl. Brown and buff on top and white underneath, it is about the size of a crow. Barn owls live in barns, attics and the hollows of the trees and they hunt rodents in woods and deserted spots. Barn owls are easily caught and can be kept in homes that reproduce the conditions of their natural nests. To build a home for a barn owl, begin with a piece of aluminum sheet metal. Barn owls normally nest in out-of-the way cavities in trees, barns or attics. The bird and its young are well-hidden during the day. Take the sheet of aluminum and roll it into a tube of about 15 inches in diameter. The tube itself should be about twice as long as it is wide–in this case about 30 inches long. Cut off any excess length. Next, cut out a circle (6 inches in diameter), about 10 inches in from what will be the front end of the tube nest. This will be the entrance to the nest. Get another small section of aluminum sheet metal. Fold this into a tube the same width
