The HOOT Project
Helping Out Owls Together You & The HOOT Project make . a difference! Conserving Owls is Good Science! Owl conservation has many beneficial aspects and outcomes. A sustained and focused conservation program promotes good stewardship, good farming practices, and it is good fun! Kidwings has enjoyed a long history of rescuing birds of prey and actively endeavors to improve the safety and welfare of birds of prey that consume pests that result in unnecessary farming costs---which makes our food cost more! Kidwings’ Helping Out Owls Together Project, affectionately known as, The HOOT Project, is the perfect program allowing you to make a difference. 1. Good Stewardship. As responsible citizens of our respective communities, we are entrusted to be good managers of our resources. Encouraging species survival is part of this important responsibility. Helping owls by providing nesting boxes offers Barn Owls protection from natural predators. This encourages healthy numbers of Barn Owls, Nature’s most effective form of natural pest control. 2. Good Farming. Helping owls thrive promotes sustainable farming practices and helps out farmers’ bottom line costs. The cost of pesticides increases every year and adds expense to efficient farming techniques. Nesting boxes encourage strong Barn Owl communities, which prey on rodents, insects and a variety of other pests that are harmful to crops. This saves farmers money and removes the need to use potentially harmful pesticides and chemicals. We can all agree, this is a win-win for everyone.
