Why Choose This Barn Owl Box?

Advantages Over Wooden Boxes

If you've ever put up a wooden or ply barn owl box you'll remember it for while. They're really heavy - around 20kg, if they're any good - and often have fiddly fixings. Even with help, if you're 4 metres up a ladder it's not exactly the easiest thing in the world. Particularly if you're anything like me. Our eco-friendly barn owl boxes are under 10kg and have two easy fixings. There's a plate which you nail or screw into the wall/tree where the box is going which it slots into, then a strap which nails down at the end of the install.

These barn owl boxes also last a lot longer than the wooden ones too. They're mostly made out of plastic recycled in the UK from mostly agricultural waste like the dreaded baler twine. The boxes are not unattractive, really tough and durable, and functional. The plastic has good thermal insulation and the pieces are slotted together, so no glue or nails and screws. It's inert, of course, so doesn't warp or rot. Moisture is controlled through ventilation and concealed drainage. The floor is made from FSC certified OSB - made from reconstituted wood offcuts. It's easily removable; the idea is you replace it after a few years if it's the worse for wear.

Other Design Features

These boxes have a number of clever design features, all helping ensure your box will be occupied by happy barn owls. The gently curved and overhanging roof not only provides a textured perch for owlets to grip, but also keeps their nest dry. There's a wide canopy at the front too, to protect the entrance. Birds can perch on the front platform, and adults on the side hatch fixings.

The boxes have easily opened side hatches to facilitate cleaning, and even a removable arm to hold a video camera.

Box Installation

The boxes come assembled and with full installation instructions. Even I managed to follow them.

If you're installing a box inside near the apex of a roof is ideal, as high as possible - over 3m if possible. Make sure though that the box won't over heat from sunshine on the roof and that there's enough ventilation around it. Obviously, owls must have access to the box at all times. As with a site outside, make sure the entrance to the box is visible to passing owls. They seem to enjoy looking out for their nests too.

Sites on trees or external walls should also be high up - the suppliers recommend at least 4.5m. Overheating can be a problem here too, so find somewhere shaded from the mid-day sun. As with all nestboxes, best to face the entrance away from prevailing winds. Our box here faces east, sheltered from westerlies and southwesterlies.

Barn Owls

Barn owls are one of our most beautiful and charismatic birds. They are also increasingly rare, and categorised as a Schedule 1 protected species. Habitat loss, fewer nest sites and indiscriminate use of rodenticide have taken a toll on them. Don't open their nest boxes from March to October, when you might disturb incubating eggs or young chicks. Unlike tawny owls, barn owls prefer tussocky grassland where they can find lots of voles to predate. This is relatively easy habitat to create and manage - give it a try! They often nest in boxes.

The best amplifier Ive had since my 1985 Yamaha R-7.
Style: 7.2 Receiver
The Yamaha rx-v6a, tsr-700, and yes, the rx-a2a, are all pretty much the same AVR, on the same firmware channel. Same power, same dacs, same dac implementation, same output stages, same construction, they’re the same. The a2a has a 5th foot, and 2 ten thousand micro farad capacitors in the power supply, while the v6a and tsr-700 have 2 eighty-one hundred micro farad capacitors in the power supply, and only 4 feet. These 2 tiny differences make no difference in sound quality or reliability, whatsoever. All three are simply awesome. From the DACS to the amps, and everything in between, these Yamahas sound better and out perform all the others. The HDMI boards have all been updated, and the firmware is mature. To even match these in sound quality and reliability and longevity, you would have to spend many thousands of dollars. Of the rx-v6a, the tsr-700, and the rx-a2a, which ever one is on sale for the least, get that one, because they’re the same device. In this case, that’s a good thing because you’ll love them.

Yamaha quality, solid audio
Style: 7.2 Receiver
Best in class YAMAHA .... better than DENON or ONKYO in my opinion. DENON and ONKYO both have issues with overheating and then shutting down. Yamaha cruises along on same power level without any hiccups.

SOUND - is Amazing, Incredible and better than the movie theater!
Style: AVR-X1800H
Arrived quickly. Setup was easy for for quick start, but to fine tune will take a good deal of effort (fun for me so no issues). OK, SOUND - is amazing, incredible and better than the movie theater! (paired with Klipsch 5.1, but will turn it into a 7.2). Drowns out my neighbors dogs which bark all the time - this system can get loud but the clarity is crisp and clean. Recall 20 years ago this system would have cost $10k plus for everything, now set me back around $1500 for all. But this review is on the receiver and it is superb! Looks brand new, has sufficient warranty and 90-day return option so more than enough time to try and determine for yourself. The price is about $2-300 lower than a new one and every bit as effective so I definitely recommend this product to anyone that wants a very high quality home theater at a super low price point. Entry level to experienced, this receiver should satisfy all.

8.5 sound out of the box! (Want bespoke configs? Sorry.) Great Value, Easy Setup
Style: AVR-X1800H
Excellent unit. Off the shelf sound is very nice, but every room is different, so a bit of tweaking is usually required. Accessing the EQ settings takes a bit of sleuthing and the use of its app... which is subpar. The app interface can only be explained as designed by people who must not actually use it. Still, a wonderful machine at a fair price. I run in ECO mode and it powers my 35x47 room with plenty of power to spare and NEVER gets hot. I am running Infinity Reference speakers and a Klipsch sub in a 7.1 config. I highly recommend the use of the included Audyssey calibration microphone! My prior experience with Yamaha YPAO left me wondering what was the point. This time with the Denon, it set up the speakers, (i'm embarrassed to say) better than I did on my own. (To be fair, I'm sure Yamaha has improved its YPAO in the decade since my prior purchase) Bottom line. If you want maximum flexibility on EQ. Shop a different solution. However, If you want quality sound with 4K and up to and including ATMOS processing, with minimal tweaking, or just want to unbox and play, this is a wonderful unit at a very fair price.
