    Superb workmanship and attention to detail on the birdhouse, so kudos for that. Unfortunately, you can tell you don't know anything about birds that will nest in a man-made birdhouse. You don't build a bird house first and then hope some bird will build a nest in it. You have to build a bird house for a 'specific' kind of bird and build it with THAT bird in mind. For instance, small birds like chickadees, wrens and bluebirds love to build nests in a small house with a small opening (1- 1 1/4" at the very most) with no perch and no ledge of any kind, Ledges and perches are deadly for just hatched fledglings, thanks to predators like squirrels, neighborhood cats, black birds, blue jays etc. Also, the only birds I have ever seen that will nest that close to another bird's nesting area are starlings. What you will typically have with the sort of birdhouse you've built is one family will move into one of the houses, and larger birds will fight or kill them off to take over the territory.
