Barn owls are actually rodent pirates! They must walk the Plank! This addition to pole mounted boxes should be employed for about a couple of weeks a year when the owlets fledged. This way they can regain the safety of the box as they learn to fly before they leave for good!

Your donation does more than fund the materials to build Barn Owl nest boxes—it also supports the creation of breeding facilities for vulnerable raptors like the Prairie Falcon (Falco mexicanus). Once widespread, this desert falcon has lost up to two-thirds of its population across much of its historic range. While areas like Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon, and parts of Idaho still host healthy breeding pairs, Prairie Falcons are becoming increasingly rare in the Southwest due to human pressures like off-roading, rock climbing, and competition from aggressive Peregrine Falcons who take over their nesting sites.
We’ve seen what happens when we act too late—just ask the Peregrine. That’s why, with your help, we’re working to establish a captive breeding program to ensure the Prairie Falcon doesn’t disappear for good.
