Nest box for a common owl

This nest box has been specifically designed to provide a safe and suitable nesting space and shelter for the Little Owl ( Athene noctua ), a small nocturnal bird of prey. This natural predator feeds mainly on insects and small mammals such as mice, rats, and voles, making it an effective ally for biological pest control.

The installation of these nest boxes on agricultural and rural lands encourages the presence of little owls, helping to maintain ecological balance and reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Furthermore, their design facilitates the protection and conservation of this species, contributing to local biodiversity.
