Our nest boxes

All of our boxes are made from the highest quality exterior grade (marine glue) plywoods. 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.

All of our boxes are designed and manufactured at our large manufacturing plant at Loganholme, Brisbane’s southern suburbs.

Range of Nesting Boxes

Flat Pack Range

The most popular target species in Australia, is by far the Brushtail Possum and Small Parrots (Rosellas/Lorikeets). For a sturdy, robust box with amazing insulation properties, choose from our range of nest boxes.

This range is manufactured from 18mm thick hardwood ply and they 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 as ‘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 to allow for a mounting wire to be fed through. The tree mount is built into the box's design, once assembled, can be easily attached to a tree or post using the provided coach screws.
