Bird nest box Trixie 55858 – wooden nesting house, W200×D260×H170 mm

Trixie 55858 is a wooden bird nest box with external dimensions W200×D260×H170 mm, designed to provide a sheltered breeding space for small garden and cavity-nesting birds. The nest box features a compact, weather-resistant construction suitable for mounting on trees, posts or walls. Its simple wooden design supports natural nesting behavior and offers a protected environment for eggs and chicks while blending into garden surroundings.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers natural insulation and breathability, helping to maintain a stable internal microclimate. Its compact footprint and straightforward mounting options make installation flexible across different outdoor locations. The entrance and internal space are sized for small garden species, and the durable materials provide resistance to typical outdoor conditions when properly installed.

Suitable for

• Small cavity-nesting garden birds (e.g., tits, sparrows, flycatchers)
• Attachment to tree trunks, wooden posts or exterior walls
• Seasonal breeding and shelter during spring and summer
• Enhancing garden biodiversity and birdwatching opportunities

Key specifications

• External dimensions: Width 200 mm × Depth 260 mm × Height 170 mm
• Design: Enclosed nesting chamber suitable for small species
• Mounting: Suitable for trees, posts or wall installation

How to use

Select a quiet, sheltered location at a suitable height for the target species (typically 2–4 m above ground where safe and permitted). Mount the nest box securely to a tree trunk, post or wall using appropriate fixings that do not compress or damage the wood. Position the entrance away from prevailing winds and avoid direct afternoon sun if possible. Do not place the box too close to bird feeders to reduce predation risk. Clean the box outside of the breeding season if necessary by removing old nesting material; avoid intensive cleaning treatments that leave harmful residues.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the mounting annually for stability and repair any loose fittings. If cleaning is required, remove debris and allow the interior to dry naturally. Avoid applying paints or preservatives to the inside of the nesting chamber; exterior protective treatments may be used sparingly on outer surfaces following manufacturer guidance to preserve the wood and maintain a safe environment for birds.
