Crimson Rosella Nest Box

[Denise Kay <>]

Hi Lindsay

ACT Wildlife have ones for carers that are suitable for Crimsons and Easterns .Marg Peachey can probably give you dimensions. I think one of the Mens Sheds are making them for us. Send her an email  

I remember visiting Manning Clarke House many years ago and amused to see a crimson rosella nesting in a box just outside his study window with resident Crimson nesting . A few years later after Dymphna passed on I had another visit I was annoyed to see a Indian Mynah using the box. 

I suspect they have corrected the problem since……

Can anyone help me with the recommended nest box dimensions (particularly the hole size) to suit a Crimson Rosella.  A friend of ours wants to locate one in his backyard
