Nest box Trixie 5633 for small birds, wooden, 300×200×200 mm

The Trixie 5633 wooden nest box for small birds (300×200×200 mm) is a compact nesting shelter designed to provide a protected interior for breeding and roosting. Made of bark wood and equipped with a front entrance, a landing perch and a hinged lid, this nest box is suitable for use in aviaries, gardens or on balconies. The design includes a removable base plate with a scrape out function to facilitate egg laying and cleaning, and the materials used are selected to avoid resin channels and toxic glues.

Advantages

The solid wooden construction ensures long-term stability while the hinged lid allows easy access for inspection and maintenance without disturbing the nest. A landing perch helps birds enter and exit naturally, and the scrape out base plate makes cleaning and egg collection straightforward. The use of non-toxic adhesives and resin-free wood species supports avian health and reduces the risk of contamination.

Suitable for

• Small cavity-nesting birds such as finches, budgerigars and similar species
• Aviaries and indoor breeding enclosures
• Garden trees, balcony railings or mounted locations on shelters
• Temporary roosting or breeding sites during the nesting season

How to use

Mount the nest box at a stable height and secure it to a tree trunk, post or wall so it does not wobble. Position the front entrance away from prevailing winds and direct sun to provide a sheltered microclimate. Open the hinged lid to place nesting material and to inspect or clean the interior; use the scrape out base plate to remove eggs or debris. Regularly check the mounting points and the interior condition, especially during the breeding season.

Usage recommendations

Install the nest box before the breeding season to allow birds time to locate it. Place it at an appropriate height for the target species and ensure a quiet, low-traffic location. Clean the box outside of the breeding period and avoid chemical treatments; replace worn nesting material as needed to maintain hygiene.
