Hi There
The nest boxes that i use for breeding my ringnecks in is 300mm wide by 300mm in width and 600mm high
30cm X 30cm X60cm
The 60cm high is making it more difficult for the female to throw out the shavings from the nest. The Diameter of the entrance hole should be about 8 cm across
Hope it works! :D
