Nest Box's Supplied and Installed

Why Quality Nest Boxes Matter

Not all nest boxes are created equal. Many standard boxes overheat in summer sun, use toxic materials, or fail within a few years — making them ineffective or even harmful to the wildlife they’re meant to protect.

We’re proud to partner with Thermal Haven® as their primary supplier and installer.

Thermal Haven Nest Boxes® are engineered to genuinely replicate the conditions of a natural tree hollow. Their dual wall construction uses a fully vented air gap to insulate the internal cavity — staying cooler during the day and warmer at night, just as a real hollow does. Tested in full sun over two years, they can be installed in unshaded, north-facing positions without any risk of overheating.

Built from 90% Australian-made Weathertex cladding and certified Class 1 native hardwood offcuts, every box is joined with A2 stainless steel SPAX screws — no glue, no galvanic corrosion, no harmful chemicals. A self-adjusting mounting system allows the box to rise steadily with tree growth, eliminating re-installation entirely. With an estimated lifespan of 25–50 years, replaceable parts, and customisable options including landing perches, entry tunnels, and species-specific hole sizes, these boxes are built to last and tailored to perform.

Independently certified by Global GreenTag International, Thermal Haven boxes are the first NaturePositive+ certified product in the world — manufactured using 100% solar energy with a better-than-zero carbon footprint and a 2023 Sustainability Award to their name.

When you’re restoring habitat for vulnerable and endangered species, quality and longevity it’s everything.

Why Are Hollows So Important?

The degradation of natural ecosystems has made protecting native flora and fauna more critical than ever. Trees can take up to 120 years to develop hollows suitable for wildlife — yet land clearing, urban development, and aging tree removal are eliminating them far faster than nature can replace them.

Around 300 Australian species rely on natural hollows for shelter and nesting, including owls, parrots, micro-bats, gliders, possums, lizards, and bees. Without them, these animals have nowhere to raise young, shelter from predators, or survive temperature extremes.

Nest boxes provide an effective solution — tailored to specific species through careful consideration of height, orientation, cavity dimensions, and entrance hole size. The right box, in the right place, can make an immediate difference.
