During the day, the little owls hide and sleep and they become active at dusk and night. They nest in a natural environment in tree hollows and caves. As these nesting locations are becoming increasingly scarce, this little owl is an excellent nesting alternative for these birds up to 23 cm in size. The small part in the front of the nest box is used for the chicks when feeding. Choose an undisturbed spot on a tree trunk at a height of 3 to 5 meters to mount the little owl box. Place the nest box in an area of the tree where the foliage is not too dense so that the owls can easily reach the nest box. Make sure the flight hole is facing south to southeast, otherwise rain may come in. Choose a shady spot for the little owl box to prevent heat from building up during summer time. Install the nest box with a slight angle of about 5 ° to the back. Little owls like to use other nesting boxes at the same time as a pantry or in case of danger. The nest box can be cleaned every two to three years in the period from October to December.
