Installation of artificial nest sites can help many native animals to survive or return to a disturbed environment, especially like where the present trees are too young to provide enough suitable nest holes. Not all bush areas, or trees are suitable for installing nest boxes, but this site and twelve of the trees were particularly suitable.

The nest boxes provide nest sites, refuge and breeding space in the years until the present trees are mature.

The nest boxes may attract some native bird species back to the area now that there are more available nest sites, and are designed to keep the Indian Myna’s out.

The Installation was funded by the Suburban Enhancement Fund, and we thank Cr Sarah Hutton, Jamboree Ward BCC and our Creek Catchment Officer (CCO) Wes DeMuth for their support. The nest boxes were installed on 13th Feb 2024.

The nest boxes are designed and uilt by Hollow Log Homes, for Australian native wildlife.
