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.
