If you live on a gully, or have a bush area close by, you
might like to think about installing a Morepork / Ruru nest box. Check out this
link for a design: http://wingspan.co.nz/PDF/how-to-build-morepork_nest_boxes.pdf
. Getting it up a tree might be a bit of a mission for many of us so you may
need to get help for this. You could always get an arborist to install it but,
unless you have one as a friend, it would have a cost attached to it.
Rats and possums could be a problem so it would be advisable
to have tin sheeting around the tree trunk above (if the branches above touch
other trees) and below the nest box.
