meant to say, that's a real cute birdhouse. But the entrance hole might be a bit tooo large for some of the smaller birds. They might be too afraid to build nests in there if they fear it's too large, which would enable larger birds or predators to get at their eggs and young. You might be able to make the entrance smaller by putting something in behind the existing hole. You can get info about how large the entrance holes should be for the various birds that you want to use the bird houses. Its surprising what small entrances they need.

lovely image, Carol. would have commented sooner, but was having keyboard trouble, and then the wireless connection on the laptop acted up yesterday & this morning, LOL. Now it seems to have corrected itself.
