Beautiful product. We mounted the house close to the deck of our suburban house and attracted a pair within the first two months. Screech owls are comfortable in the presence of humans who remain non-threatening. One reason may be that their primary predator, great horned owls, are more wary of us. (Once you've attracted a pair, do not use iPhone bird apps as this will induce territorial or threat response from your owls.)

We watched our pair regularly and saw their courtship, mating, and feeding behaviors up close. We also watched the remarkable behavior of the fledglings as they left the nest, climbed a neighboring three using talons and beak, and were guarded and fed by their parents until they could fly.

The pair returned the next year but their nestlings failed as a result of a severe drought and long heatwave in Texas.

This is a great investment. Do some price shopping.

Priced a little on the high side. Good quality, Well made.
