What owls can fit in this box or might be attracted in a city such as Los Angeles? Is it OK to paint it on the outside? What color is recommended?

Can't help you on the LA Q. Paint is good, white. You might use a reflective white paint to reduce heat gain on/in the box.

I purchased my box for owls in Southern Ca. I would imagine that L.A. would work also. Colors for the outside should be natural browns and greens. I painted mine using both colors in a camouflage pattern. Hope this helps.

I have these hanging on my house as well as on a pole, they are cute and draw the birds nicely. I have used sunflower, safflower and plain wild bird seed in these little feeding balls and all three work fine...I imagine if you hang them and just put wild bird seed mix in it you will see an assortment of birds visiting...good luck!:)

I would advise not to hang it. The roof of the cage is not locked in to the body of the cage securely . and I personally would not put 2 birds in it. It is only 22x15x11.(I think thats what the measurements are) By the time a swing and a few toys are put in there really isnt much room for 2. But thats just me, If I was you, take a yard stick or measuring tape and speck it out. But if you do get it i would advise carying it from the bottom of the cage and not by the handle on the roof of it

Hi, These cars belong to my partner. Since she has 15 of them in stock, I'm sure it would be no problem whatsoever. Good customer service is very important to her so I'm sure she would also give you your choice of colors. I have emailed her about this but she will not see it until the morning. I would advise you to place your order for 2 cars and she will email you to find out your color choices. Best wishes, Mary [Wise Owl Toys and Games]

**UPDATE** We have updated the design of the box, per the product features and description. The box is now made of exterior grade plywood and is still treated with linseed oil to maintain its hardiness. This makes the box safe for the environment and the owls. This box is sturdy, hand-made, and is built to stand up to the elements.

The base of the owl (the part that looks like a wood stump) has small screw holes at the sides. Truth be told, I had to drill them out as a couple of them did not go all the way through. So if you want to screw it in, you may need a 1/8" drill and the proper screws. Mine is screwed to a wood post in my yard. Now I would assume living in an apartment you could not do that... So here's an idea (and what I do when I attach the owl to an A-frame trellis in my raised garden bed). Screw the owl to a plank of wood that extends about 3-inches on either side. Then place that on your railing and hold the plank to the railing using a heavy velcro strap or something similar wrapped around the railing. Hope that helps! PS: For me, this Owl seems to work in keeping both bird and rats away, I also use reflective tape tied around my garden.

Sorry to respond so late I hadn't checked email in awhile, but I'm sorry to say that I only purchased the 10PC OWL Gender Set which did not include the "Tree Decal." I would loved to have had it as well but if you search "Nursery Owl Tree Wall Decals" in Google Images you will most likely spot it, which should give you that vendor. Hope this helps!

I read all of the other responses, all good BTW. One other suggestion. Most HOA requirements for mail boxes have a preferred paint which can be obtained from a quality paint store. The paint store should be able to match it perfectly. Lowe's or Home Depot recommended.

You can, but I would prefer to keep it inside. It is painted and colorful. If you leave it outdoors, it will fade and won't look as nice. Maybe if you can paint over it with a clear seal coat, then it would probably do well outside!!

The ants aren't particular about what type of cardboard you use. If it's near Valentine's day, use red cardboard; if it's around Halloween, try orange....etc.

I bought one and had it put up around Thanksgiving which was a little late, according to directions.I hear the owls all around, but I can't tell if they are using it yet. I do think they will use it eventually.

The bottom of the owl has a hole about 3/4 to 1" in diameter where you might be able to mount to a pole with some jerry rigging. Not sure how stable it would be.

From what I've read doves seem to prefer nest sites that are more open on the sides. Maybe you can find a "nesting box". I just bought this so haven't had any birds use it yet.

I ordered mine later in the season, but I would think someplace cool and dry would work. I hope you love them as much as I did...I was persistent enough to get pics, both at time of hatching and a couple months later. Simply amazing!

I just put mine up this fall, still waiting to see if it gets used this nesting season. I will let you know if it does. I have it in the middle of my honeysuckle vine on my fence about 4 feet up off the ground. I have lots of Cardinals in my backyard so I'm hoping they check it out.
