About Hollow Log Homes Hollow Log Homes builds scientifically designed Nest Boxes for most Australian hollow-dependent fauna. We take great care to ensure correct design, correct location, and low-environmental-impact high-quality construction of all of our Homes. Please refer to our Building Guarantee below. Further, we take great care to protect the appearance, the health, and the integrity of the parent tree or structure in which we locate our homes. Hollow Log Homes has evolved from a hobby and passion to protect and nurture our hollow-dependent wildlife, and, even though it is now a full-time family business we retain the passion and drive to help and support our wildlife without succumbing to the temptation of cutting corners or compromising quality. Why Hollow Log Homes? Throughout Australia there is a vast array of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians that nest, roost, or shelter in tree hollows. As these hollows become scarce due to urban development, public safety in parks and gardens or rural land clearing, our hollow dependent fauna become displaced and will often disappear from areas altogether. Many of our birds live for an extraordinary length of time, up to 100 years in the case of the larger cockatoos, so by the time we notice the diminution of their populations it is often too late. Research shows that possums moved from their home range are often killed by other possums protecting their territory. Dying in these instances can be prolonged and slow due to infections or blindness caused by injury or by starvation due to food source denial. Because we cannot put back the old habitat trees and do not suggest that public safety should be of secondary concern we can still make a very significant contribution to the welfare of our hollow-dependent fauna. This contribution is by way of man made nesting boxes. More Information Services Services we offer to Individuals, groups, Councils and Government departments. Please contact us to discuss charges.
