In making a feeder for Northern Saw-Whet Owls, some dimensions you can use are 20” height, 11” width, and 15.5” depth. Feeders made from cedar wood are often good and last long. Make sure to install a sloping roof that sheds and water and overhands the house’s entrance to protect the birds from the elements. Put a ventilation slot under the roof to regulate temperature. Having an easy-swing front or back panel is also beneficial because it aids easier cleaning and observation. Put a lot of wood chips at the floor to make the Northern Saw-Whet Owl feel more at home. Mount the feeder high in a tree or shed.
