Looking after your nestbox
Galahs on nesting box
Ideally, boxes should be placed away from night time lights, placed at least three metres from the ground and located in a sheltered location. You should put a small amount of wood shavings or shredded bark in the bottom of your nesting box. This provides some insulation as well as nesting material.
