Further to Brian's queery about Graham's nest box success.  I was wondering if many people have had luck with boxes for larger species such as owls or hornbills.  I remember someone telling me how they had heard of someone else using sisal plant stems hollowed out to make cavities.  This person then supposedly had luck with hornbills occupying his houses.
Has anyone on this list ever made these or other boxes for larger cavity nesters here in Kenya.  Back in the states i made many which i put up for barred owls, screech owls, woodpeckers and wood ducks.  what about wood owls ?
cheers, James
