nesting box
Bird breeding chamber
A nesting box is a container designed to give birds or other animals a sheltered place to lay eggs and raise young.
Birdhouses are nesting boxes, as are the compartments in a chicken coop where hens lay: Check the nesting boxes for eggs.
The term also applies to boxes for small mammals like rabbits.
