The Trixie bird nesting box TX-55857 is a compact wooden shelter with external dimensions 18×24×15 cm and a circular entrance hole of 3 cm diameter, intended to provide a safe nesting site for small wild birds.

The design focuses on simple installation and functional use while supporting local bird populations by creating an additional nesting option.

Its compact size and 3 cm entrance diameter are appropriate for small songbirds, reducing access by larger competitors. The simple geometry and removable or accessible panel allow for inspection and cleaning when necessary. The product is lightweight and easy to position on trees, posts or building walls, enabling flexible placement in different outdoor settings.

How to use

Select a sheltered location at a height appropriate for small birds, typically 2–4 meters above ground and away from high-traffic areas. Fix the box securely to a vertical surface such as a tree trunk, pole or wall using screws or straps, ensuring the entrance faces away from prevailing winds and direct afternoon sun. Check local guidance for recommended mounting height and orientation. Before the breeding season, inspect the interior and, if the design allows, open the access panel to remove debris. After the season, perform a cleaning to remove old nesting material to prepare the box for subsequent use.

Usage recommendations

To maximise occupancy and bird safety, mount the nesting box at the recommended height, avoid placing it near feeders where predators may congregate, and perform annual checks and cleaning after the breeding season. Do not paint the interior; use untreated natural wood inside to maintain a healthy microclimate for nestlings.
