– Make your windows more visible
– Use safe pest control methods (avoid glue traps and anticoagulent rodent poisons)
– Keep cats indoors (cats kill small owls and large owls kill cats)
– Put up owl nest boxes (only if you are sure the neighbours aren’t using baits)
– Leave dead trees standing (to provide nest holes and calling perches for owls)
– Report nesting owls
– Don’t feed owls
– Give owls space
– Replace your barbed wire fences
– Make non-barbed wire fences more visible
– Take down soccer nets when not in use (owls get caught in them)
– Let your lawns grow (mowed grass doesn’t support the species owls prey on)
– Observe young owls on the ground to make sure they need help before intervening
– Report people who are harming or selling owls
– Drive more carefully after dusk
– Protect old growth forests and protect habitat
– Avoid using artificial lights after dark
– Keep your drones away from owls
– Support and donate to owl research and conservation
