I worked at a center for years, We had barn owls and several larger owls and also hawks, Good times x
I like owls.
But not when they swoop silently in front of you and give you a fright.

We only get tawny owls here at the moment, they’re doing an excellent job of controlling field voles and wood mice. No shortage of food for them here. I do feed the buzzards and kites though.
How lucky of you to get so close to such wonderful birds.
I rarely see owls, but often hear them.

We ard very fortunate that pur area supports a very large owl population so they pop in and put most days. We've been invited back as often as we like to get to know these guys which is lovely
I think we qualify for owl feeders - we have a couple of acres of very rough pasture and that's full of wildlife and riddled with voles.
We mainly get tawny owls, some years they nest in our woodland and the young fledglings are often in our garden. We get the occasional barn owl, adults when the weather is poor, or the odd young one when they first leave their parents.

A few boxes might be nice. Ours have never been occupied as we live within established varn and little owl territories. I might try a Tawny box though as they are infrequent visitors
Our Tawnies are almost like pets. They come around the house quite early each evening and as soon as I open the back door they call as though saying 'good evening!'.
I often call to them and they'll fly into the closest tree to see who this fool is that thinks he speaks Tawny

The Little Owls do that for us. Perching on garden chairs and fruit bushes and calling even in daylightOur Tawnies are almost like pets. They come around the house quite early each evening and as soon as I open the back door they call as though saying 'good evening!'.

Around here they don't use the same ones each year (although the barn owls like some ruined buildings although different spots inside them). I suspect moving them would be okay.
