Built for Australia’s Largest Parrots

As natural hollows in mature trees continue to disappear, larger parrots like cockatoos are left with very few suitable nesting sites. Our Large Parrot Nesting Box is designed to fill that gap, providing a deep, secure, and thermally stable artificial hollow for breeding pairs.

Based on designs used and trusted by The Crocodile Hunter Lodge, this box replicates the size, insulation, and protection of natural tree hollows, giving larger species the space they need to nest, raise young, and return season after season.

Specifications

Target Species
Designed for Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Corellas, Galahs, and other large native parrots.

Premium Build
Constructed from heavy-duty 18mm structural timber. The thicker walls provide excellent thermal buffering, helping regulate internal temperatures in harsh Australian conditions.

Internal Ladder
Integrated internal climbing grooves allow chicks to safely climb up and exit the box when ready to fledge, mimicking the natural texture of tree hollows.

Hardware
Built using corrosion-resistant fasteners suited to long-term outdoor exposure. No staples. No toxic glues.

Dimensions
600mm high x 285 wide x 285 deep
(Generous internal volume to suit large-bodied parrots)

Entrance Hole
Diameter – 120mm
Sized specifically for large parrots while limiting access to predators.

Product Lifespan
Designed for 15–20+ years of outdoor use. A long-term habitat solution, not a disposable product.

Good to Know

Thermal Protection
The 18mm wall thickness helps stabilise internal temperatures, protecting eggs and chicks during extreme heat. Thin-walled boxes often fail in Australian conditions — this design is built with that in mind.

Suburban Habitat Solution
Most suburban areas lack the mature trees needed for natural hollows. This nesting box provides an immediate and effective alternative.

Installation Tips
For best results, position the box facing away from the harsh afternoon sun, typically South or South-East. Mount at a height of 2 to 4 metres in a quiet, sheltered location.

Maintenance
Includes a removable lid for easy seasonal cleaning. Applying a non-toxic exterior oil every few years will help maximise lifespan.
