Do screech owls bother my backyard birdfeeders or songbirds (including my Purple Martin house)?
Screech owls are probably already in your area and have been long before we settled this nation. Thus your songbirds have lived in harmony with these owls for centuries. You won’t be attracting an owl from afar; instead you will finally be able to see exactly where your area owl roosts. Screech owls do not forage during daylight hours (too bright) when your bird feeder is most active with songbirds. By night, that same bird feeder is probably active with rodents and roaches feasting on leftover birdseed. These are some of the very things that screech owls devour!
