Hi. I'm struggling with this word, and I still haven't been able to find what it can be translated to in Spanish:

"Bird Box: location where the Eave and the Rake intersect."

"A bird box occurs where an eave and rake overhang intersect. This area should be covered with aluminum trim."

It's a Vinyl Siding Installation Manual, so it's Construction-Related. There are not many images on the internet, but this is one:

Reference information:
Searching the web I've found that this may also be called box return, or boxed soffit return. According to Wikipedia, eave returns are a common Neoclassical feature of U.S. domestic architecture. Unfortunately, I cannot find an equivalent in Spanish
