How does one build a nest box for wild pied fantails?

I’ve read that styles of nesting boxes differ according to type of bird. Can anyone provide a link to a website that offers specific instructions in building one? I would like to place several pieces in my garden.

Parakeet Nesting Box???

I bought a nest box for my parakeets and i dont know if its any good. It looks like the one in the link. http://www.smarter.com/bird_bedding_product_review—pr–ci-44–pi-177886.html#
The problem is my birds always go on top of it and try to carve it out. They never try to go inside of it. I was wondering if the box should have a perch on the outside or inside because my parakeets box has a perch in the inside and why they keep on trying to carve it out.
Do you think i should add soft material on the bottom?
