Barn Owl University
The Simple, Fun, & Educational Do-It-Yourself Option
Here at Barn Owl University (BOU), we are proud to offer a comprehensive curriculum built from over 50 years of experience. Whether you’re simply looking for a set of owl box plans or a full-scope education in barn owl biology, we’ve got you covered—with Zoom-style lectures or in-person talks for your group!
Curriculum
- How to Build a Self-Cleaning Owl Box
- How to Install an Owl Box
- Where to Install Your Owl Box
- Owl Box Ownership & Maintenance
You have the option to order owl nesting box plans, the boxes themselves, barn owl T-shirts, mugs, calendars, “How to Install an Owl House” video, and even one-on-one help via text or phone. You can send photos of your property (by text or email), and we’ll help you choose the best installation location!
Tom is also available to speak to your group—either in person or virtually via Zoom or Google Meet.
The curriculum is not available in Southern California due to contract agreements. From Solvang North to include the rest of the Republic, the curriculum is most definitely available!
