Why buy our boxes??

• Quality: At the start we looked at where animals originally nest in. These are 200+ year old trees which have hollows that have developed over time. At Nestboxes.com.au we believe in providing homes that have a great form of longevity. This means constructing the boxes with special no- standard materials.  For a start we don’t use nails. The boxes would fall apart in 12 months. We are concerned with the welfare of our beautiful animals and don’t think it’s in their interests in providing homes that fall apart quickly. All our fasteners are high quality stainless steel. Screws rusting and failing…No way.
• Factory Materials: Look carefully at our roof. Yes, covered with steel. Being subjected to our harsh Australian conditions a wooden roof quickly rots and breaks apart. Many components are custom made in a sheetmetal factory.
• Design: Every part of our boxes have been carefully designed with care and thought. Check out the floor. Note the way the rain washes down the walls and immediately off the box. Some nest box builders just bang a floor straight onto the bottom. Easy to do but the water enters the wood fibres and it starts to rot. Who cares…we do. What about the person who wants to install their own box. Easy with ours. At the rear we have a hole that is in the form of a key in a 3mm steel bracket. This allows you to hang the box quickly without falling off a ladder while doing a balancing act of holding a box and yourself up there all at the same time. Waterproof???you bet…. Have a look at the overhanging roof which prevents water from entering the box. Animals like warm dry conditions just like us. Ever had a good look at the colour?? Notice it is gun metal grey. This is the colour the military use to blend their weapons of war into it’s surroundings. Well, we use the same. Our  boxes soak into the trees so good that it’s difficult to see them.
• Uniqueness: Each box is quite unique. The hollow log on the front is never the same as the next one. Each has it’s own character and flavour.

Site evaluation services

Having spent 13 years studying the nesting requirements of the fauna targeted, we know that birds vary in their nesting requirements from state to state. Some birds are spooked by human disturbance and may not nest close to a house. That’s why we offer a site evaluation based on our extensive knowledge of local fauna prior to any nest box installation. This allow us to plan for the best possible results for your nest box installation.

Installation services

Installing nesting boxes up in trees is inherently dangerous work. If the box is not installed correctly there is a high chance the tree will destroy the box or the animals will refuse to take up residence. Clients often use our installation services to make sure the nesting boxes are installed properly with the highest safety standards. Our team of professional installers are well-trained and have extensive experience in this high-risk task.
