Check out this great item that I found online. This Owl Shack is made by Cliff and Julie Shackelford. It is made of cedar and should last years if handled gently. The Owl Shack is already painted and ready to be mounted.
Here is some information from their website, "Screech owls thrive in the backyards of both the city and countryside across most of the U.S. By day, they snooze in the wide-mouth entrance of these Owl Shacks, but by night they eat roaches, rodents, and other pesky critters. Not only are the owls enjoyable to watch as they sleep, they are also performing natural pest control. Having one take up residence in your backyard is an amazing sight to see. Being an owl landlord is easy and exciting. What a great neighbor to have."
