How and where do you mount it?

Mount the Great Horned Owl as high as possible so birds can see it from great distances. Use a post, dowel or piece of wood or bamboo that fits into the hole in the bottom of the owl (remove plug). It can also be weighed down by filling it with gravel, dirt, sand, or pebbles so that it can be placed on the top of a post or wall. Also, Northern Hydraulics has a mounting device available. Call (800) 533-5545 for a catalog. One of the best ways to use the owl is by hanging it (see next question).
