Our nest boxes

All of our boxes are made from the highest quality exterior grade (marine glue) plywoods, with the exception of a new range of plastic nest boxes (100% Australian sourced and recycled) that is coming soon. They are produced on a high precision CNC nesting machine. All components are accurately cut, have routed internal ladders and are precision pre-drilled.

The plywood is sourced from various certified plywood mills and all logs are grown in registered forests. The plywood is a full hardwood construction, utilising mixed light hardwoods from renewable resources. The exterior of the box is a high quality grade paintable surface.

Choosing the right nest box

Nest Boxes Australia manufactures nest boxes that are designed for use by native Australian birds and mammals. These boxes are specifically designed for exterior use and to withstand the harsh climatic conditions that are prevalent in Australia. The boxes are all designed and manufactured at our large manufacturing plant at Loganholme in Brisbanes southern suburbs. All of our boxes are made from the highest quality exterior grade plywoods with marine grade glue, with the exception of a new range of plastic nest boxes (100% Australian sourced and recycled) that is coming soon. They are produced on a high precision CNC nesting machine. All components are accurately cut, have routed internal ladders and are precision pre-drilled.

So which box is the right one for you?

Once you have determined your target species, choose a suitable box from our different ranges.

Range of Nesting Boxes

Economy Flat Pack Range

The most popular target species in Australia, is by far the Brushtail Possum and Small Parrots (Rosellas/Lorikeets). Therefore we manufacture these two boxes in a lightweight, economical version, ideal for a bulk, shorter term job or for tighter budgets. If you are looking for a lightweight, serviceable box that targets these species, then choose from our economy range of nest boxes.

Heavy Duty Flat Pack Range

For a sturdy, more robust box with better insulation properties, choose from our heavy duty range of nest boxes.

The heavy duty range is manufactured from 18mm thick hardwood ply and the are shipped as a flat pack with all required screws.

The tree mount is integrated into the design of the box, and once assembled, can be readily screwed to a tree or post (coach screw supplied). Alternatively, the two holes provided in the sides of the boxes enable the box to be wired to a tree or post.

Heavy Duty Assembled Range

As above, however, some boxes are a little more technical, so we ship them as a ready assembled box. Bat boxes and Pardalote boxes are all shipped fully assembled.

Heavy Duty Ready To Mount Range

For convenience, we also supply nest boxes ready to mount. These are from our heavy duty range and come fully assembled, sealed with two coats of exterior decking oil. Holes are pre-drilled for passing mounting wire through, or we can supply tree mounting kits. The tree mount is integrated into the design of the box, and once assembled, can be readily screwed to a tree or post (coach screws supplied).
