The nest box for the barn owl ( Tyto alba ), also known as the white owl, is specifically designed to provide optimal shelter for breeding and settlement. This species, essential for biological pest control, feeds primarily on small mammals such as mice, rats, and voles, helping to maintain the natural balance of diverse ecosystems.
Traditionally, barn owls nest in human-made structures with high, protected spaces, such as churches, historic buildings, ruins, lofts, and open, uninhabited attics. However, building restoration, demolition of ruins, and the use of insecticides and rodenticides have significantly reduced their natural breeding habitats.
The proper installation of these nest boxes in strategic locations helps offset this loss, facilitating the recovery of local populations and promoting a sustainable and natural method of pest control. Furthermore, their design guarantees protection from predators and adverse weather conditions, ensuring a safe breeding environment for the barn owl.
