Nestbox info

[Hugo Phillipps <>]

Hi, everybody.  Remember the nestbox thread of a few months ago?

The text of our Information Sheet No.5 about nestboxes is now on the Virtual
Emu.  It includes a plan of an experimental anti-myna nestbox based on Tim
Gunn's design.  It also includes a link to a table of recommended dimensions
for constructing nestboxes for Australian fauna that I gleaned from whatever
literature I came across.

I would be very grateful for any feedback on the information presented, and
especially for more hard info on dimensions, materials, placement,
management etc, including original published or unpublished sources.

Thanks,  Hugo.
