Troubleshooting
Bird is not using the nest
Ensure the nest is placed in a quiet, private area of the cage. Birds may need time to adjust to a new item. Try placing a small amount of nesting material inside to encourage use.
Nest seems too small for my bird
These nests are specifically designed for small bird breeds. If you have a larger bird, consider a nest box of appropriate dimensions for that species.
Nest is degrading quickly
Natural material nests have a limited lifespan. If the nest shows significant wear or damage, it is time to replace it with a new one to ensure safety and hygiene.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the TRIXIE Grass Nests, simply use the integrated hoop hook to attach the nest securely to the top of your bird's wire cage. Ensure it is placed in a location that offers some privacy and is not subject to direct drafts.
Compatibility: These nests are best suited for small bird breeds such as finches (zebras, waxbills, orange cheeks, red ears, bengalese), and other similar-sized pet birds. They are designed to hang inside standard wire bird cages.
Care: Regularly inspect the nests for signs of wear or soiling. Remove any nesting material that the birds do not use or that becomes soiled. For cleaning, gently brush away loose debris. If a more thorough cleaning is required, it is best to replace the nest, as natural material nests are typically not designed for extensive washing and can degrade or harbor bacteria if not dried properly. It is recommended to have a few spare nests on hand for rotation.
