Nest box Trixie TRIXIE 58965 wooden nesting shelter for small birds, width 55 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 58965 wooden nesting shelter is a compact nest box designed for small birds with a nesting chamber width of 55 mm. Made from natural wood and supplied with a wooden hook and straw ribbons, this single-compartment nest box provides a sheltered place for breeding and resting. It is suitable for mounting in gardens, on balconies or inside aviaries and supports natural nesting behaviour by offering protection from weather and common predators.

Advantages

The nest box is manufactured from 100% natural materials that ensure breathability and moderate temperature regulation inside the nesting chamber. The included wooden hook and straw ribbons simplify installation and help birds adapt the interior for nesting. Its compact, single-compartment design occupies minimal space while providing a discrete, sheltered cavity that reduces drafts and exposure to rain. The simple construction also allows for routine cleaning and inspection.

Suitable for

• Small wild and garden birds that use cavities for nesting
• Balconies and patios where compact bird shelters are required
• Aviaries and outdoor enclosures as additional nesting sites
• Garden areas focused on encouraging local bird breeding

Key specifications

• Nesting chamber width: 55 mm
• Material: natural wood
• Design: single-compartment cavity
• Accessories: wooden hook and straw ribbons included

How to use

Select a sheltered location at an appropriate height for the target species, away from direct midday sun and prevailing strong winds. Hang the nest box using the supplied wooden hook or secure it with additional brackets if required for stability. Position the entrance so it faces away from prevailing winds and heavy rain. Add a small amount of dry, clean nesting material if local birds do not bring their own; the supplied straw ribbons can be used to help attract birds and allow them to finish the nest. Inspect the box periodically outside the breeding season and clean any debris or old nesting material to reduce parasites and maintain hygiene.

Usage recommendations

Install the nest box before the breeding season begins and maintain a regular inspection schedule. Avoid disturbing active nests; perform cleaning and repairs in autumn or winter when the box is unoccupied. Use natural, untreated materials for any additional nesting substrate to avoid chemicals that could harm chicks.
