Our Services
Wildlife Nest Box Installation
Supporting wildlife conservation and habitat restoration through the supply, installation, and monitoring of nest boxes and artificial habitat structures
Fauna Works installs artificial nest boxes, particularly in urban and rural areas, providing shelter and nesting sites for Australian bats, birds, bees and arboreal animals.
Monitoring of nest boxes can be crucial to their success, whether they are used in research or installed as part of a species management plan. Monitoring of nest boxes, breeding sites and roost sites can be undertaken by our staff, with reporting that meets local and state government requirements.

Our Products
Nest Box Installation
Fauna Works designs, supplies, and installs nest boxes for a range of Australian wildlife, including birds, bats, gliders, possums, and other arboreal species. Our installations are tailored to the target species, habitat requirements, and project objectives to provide effective nesting and shelter opportunities.
Nest box programs are commonly implemented as part of habitat restoration, environmental offset, and fauna management projects. We also offer mapping, asset recording, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance services to support long-term conservation outcomes.
Nest Box Monitoring
Fauna Works provides professional nest box monitoring services to assess occupancy, breeding activity, and habitat outcomes for native wildlife. Our experienced ecologists undertake regular inspections to identify species using nest boxes, monitor breeding success, and evaluate the effectiveness of nest box programs over time.
Monitoring plays a critical role in ensuring nest boxes continue to deliver meaningful conservation outcomes and meet environmental approval, offset, and species management requirements. We provide detailed reporting, maintenance recommendations, and ongoing support to maximise the long-term success of nest box installations and habitat enhancement projects
Nest Box Occupancy Survey, Maintenance and reporting
Fauna Works undertakes nest box occupancy surveys, maintenance, and reporting to assess the effectiveness of nest box programs and habitat enhancement initiatives. Our ecologists monitor nest box use, breeding activity, species occupancy, and overall condition to ensure nest boxes continue to provide value for native wildlife.
Monitoring data is collected and reported in accordance with project requirements, environmental approvals, and offset obligations. We also provide maintenance recommendations and asset management support to maximise the long-term success of nest box programs
Thermal Drone Nest Site Surveys
Fauna Works provides specialised thermal drone nest site surveys to detect and monitor active nests, roost sites, and breeding activity with minimal disturbance to wildlife. Using advanced thermal imaging technology, we can safely identify wildlife occupying dense vegetation, large trees, and difficult-to-access areas.
Our surveys support environmental approvals, pre-clearing inspections, species management programs, and habitat protection measures. The use of thermal drones improves detection rates while providing accurate, defensible data to inform project planning and ecological management.
