Our barn owls line their nest box with pellets.

Our Tawny Owl box had Mandarin Ducks two years ago, Stock Doves last year and it looks like Jackdaws this year. A Tawny Owl did visit briefly a few times but the box is clearly not up to scratch! The Jackdaws cleared out all the sawdust I’d put in for the owls, and keep bringing sticks in, and then throwing them out!

Think of it as free kindling collection service.
