We are in the middle of Spotted Eagle Owl breeding season and it is not too late to have your owl box serviced if you haven't already done so.

There is a direct correlation between the annual service and owl box occupancy. Without the service and maintenance once a year, your owl box is no longer an owl box, it is just a box high up in a tree.

Alternatively, you are welcome to reply to this newsletter.

Every year, the number of our occupied owl boxes grows. This is due to a phenomenon called ''Natal Recognition''. Young owls, once fledged and ready to breed, will attempt to replicate the site in which they were successfully reared. Owls that have been bred and raised in owl boxes will go on to become ''owl box breeding owls''. Through service and maintenance, we are creating a network of viable breeding sites for owls in Southern Africa. 

While you are on our online store, feel free to browse through for our other eco-products here.

With spring around us, bats are out of hibernation and frenetically eating insects! If you are keen to provide bats with a bat-friendly place to roost and to breed - place your bat box order here.

To all of our owl box participants, we love your involvement in this project and we hope that these success stories are as uplifting for you as they are for us.
