Nesting box question

We have a huge E. melliodora in our garden. Rosellas and others regularly look 
at the bark scars to see if they are suitable for nesting (they aren’t). So we 
thought a couple of nesting boxes nailed to the tree might be a good idea.

Where is the best place to obtain suitable boxes?  Preferably soon while the 
nesting frenzy is still on them.  I can assemble, but larger scale carpentry is 
not practicable.

Candidate local (Deakin) species are Crimson and Eastern Rosellas, possibly 
Lorikeets, Gang-gangs, Galahs, Red-rumps. Maybe Satin Bowerbirds, if they like 
that sort of thing. It’s probably mainly the Rosellas that might be interested.
