I just ended up having The Wildlife Specialist install mine, they came to my house to see if I had the correct set up to attract owls, and they were out of San Diego. They were great! Thewildlifespecialist.com

Yes, we have had blue jays and cardinals get into it. They can't lift the lid like the squirrels or chipmunks do, but they can get their beaks in and pick one out if its close enough. Yet the ones we have don't get much, the squirrels pretty much run it.

YES! I put them on the top of my mailbox and have not had any problem with the birds since.

I have not used it as I have finches and this box is not for such a small bird. Good luck dear.

I would say that a pair of homing pigeons could use this nesting box - but I do not have any experience at all with Pigeons but some of our hens are quite large.

The base is a few inches square, so the owl may teeter on a narrow rail. I used cable ties to strap mine to a wood deck rail. It doesn't always keep the birds away.

I'm sure the birds will visit despite the awning. It might take them a bit longer to discover the feeder though. I recommend filling the feeder with black oil sunflower seeds (which is a delightful treat for birds) to help them find it faster.

I was given some by a friend. Pigeons were building nests on my covered patio. Worked beautifully. I put it up in April and they haven't returned.

Yes, I find Cardinals on mine everyday! The doves do not go on it -- they just take whatever is dropped on the ground.

No, and they don't need it. The bluebird boxes we have are deep and look just like this one, the birds fill up the inside. you can find some bird cams insideboxes on YouTube to see how they do it. it's a good box.

If you put the house up and they are around they will move in. i have never heard of anyone buying bats. It would be like buying owls

I don't have a clue about any critters on the ground. We tried them on our Purple Martin houses and they didn't work for owl. I guess owls know that predators aren't up on the bird houses. Really don't know if they work for mountain lions, fox, coyotes, etc.

I am at about 3000 ft with both cedar and fir trees (100 ft plus in height). There is a 5+ acre meadow below my owl box. I've had my owl box for about six months. No owls have found my box. There is a woodpecker

My Squirrel Buster is the smaller version. I haven't seen Cardinals come to it, only smaller birds.

I've had mine up for several months, cedar shavings. No owl or any other bird yet

I think it will. They are like clings. I bought black frames and canvas paper and framed them. It looks so mice.

Best results is that it is mounted somewhere there is Sun and clear enough where the owls can easily fly in and out. Can be mounted on anything, I did a tree. I would suggest somewhere that meets above and is in good viewing range.
