🦉 Barn Owl Notes
Our team (University of Haifa & Shamir Research Institute) monitors ~200 nest boxes with 30–60 wild pairs annually. We do not interfere with breeding. Barn owl pairs fledge ~5 young on average (range 1–11), with earlier pairs more successful. Cameras are installed before egg-laying or after hatching to minimize disturbance and cover only a small % of nests. Some nest failure (e.g., food shortage) is natural. Barn owls don’t clean nests, this is normal. Boxes are cleaned once/year; over-cleaning can cause abandonment and remove beneficial insects.
