Hollowhog Parrot Nest Cavity Creation

Hollowhog is a unique carving and boring tool specifically designed to create nest holes for wildlife. Being a qualified arborist and avid bird lover and particularly parrots it was a know brainer to me to mix my profession and also one of my biggest passions in life.

It takes at least 70 to 120 years for hollows to form in trees in Australian forests. The Hollowhog forms these hollows in less than an hour, providing at least an additional 70 years of potential use by fauna and, most importantly, filling the gap until hollows are able to develop naturally.

Australia’s fauna is grappling with the loss of habitat created by logging and bushfires, including hundreds of threatened animal species that live in the hollows of trees.

While nest boxes can provide a temporary solution, a hole carved by the tungsten blade of a Hollowhog can create a hollow in less than an hour that can last for hundreds of years, growing in size with the tree.
