Made in the USA! Screech Owls and Saw-Whet Owls have tough competition with other birds for natural cavities because they are so small. They eat night-flying insects and may occasionally snag other small birds. You may want to position this birdhouse away from the houses of other birds. The charming 7" owls can become quite tame. These owls nest in deep woods, preferably near swamps. They also like coniferous woods and evergreen thickets in parks and gardens.
