TRIXIE 55532 nest box

The Trixie Ceramic Nesting Material Feeder for Birds, hanging, in forest color, 12×12×16 cm is a compact ceramic feeder designed to hold and dispense nesting materials for wild and garden birds. Its durable ceramic construction and natural forest-color finish allow it to blend into outdoor environments while providing an accessible source of materials for nest building. The feeder is intended to be hung from branches, hooks or existing bird feeders to encourage breeding activity and make it easier for birds to collect fibers, twigs and other suitable nesting components.

Advantages

The ceramic body resists weathering and provides a stable container for loose nesting materials without absorbing moisture like some porous alternatives. Its compact 12×12×16 cm size makes it suitable for small garden spaces and balconies while remaining large enough to hold a useful amount of material. The hanging design enables flexible placement at varying heights and locations to suit different bird species and garden layouts. The forest-color finish offers a discreet, nature-inspired appearance that reduces visual disturbance for birds.

• Providing fibers, wool, hair, dry grass and similar nesting materials for wild and garden birds

How to use

Fill the ceramic feeder with clean, dry nesting materials such as natural fibers, shredded paper, wool (untreated), dry grass or fine twigs. Hang the feeder at a suitable height—typically 1.5–3 meters above ground—to reduce predator access and to match the preferred foraging level of local bird species. Place it near shrubs, hedges or trees that provide cover so birds can approach safely. Refill the feeder as needed and check regularly for moisture or contamination; replace wet material promptly to avoid mold and to maintain attractiveness to nesting birds.

Usage recommendations

Use only untreated natural fibers and materials free of chemicals, oils or long synthetic strands that can entangle birds. Position the feeder where it is sheltered from direct driving rain when possible, and clean periodically with mild detergent and thorough rinsing to keep nesting material fresh and sanitary.
