Nice super

The holes look too big, what bird is this for?

They're only about 2 inches, the size for finches and other small wildbirds.

Unfortunately the hole is way too big making it easy for a predator to reach in and take eggs or chicks. 1 1/2"- 1 5/8" hole size is correct. Perches are never advised because predators use them. Drainage and ventilation is also critical. As a birder it is frustrating to see so many beautiful bird boxes that don't include elements of egg and chick safety into the design.

You have a good point. I placed it hanging away from obvious branches, but they could still be at risk of a bird predator. At least its better than them building a nest straight in the branches.

Also, we used to watch wild birds build nests in bird boxes with holes no smaller than this one and they were mountain on a pole right outside my garden, only 7 feet from the ground. Those birds raised several successful nests near my garden so the size hole doesn't necessarily matter if you find a good location where your dog or other animals you have naturally keep predators away.

I've lived in worse homes

lady nobody wants to hear about your review show us how you made it and give us the dimensions

I got it from Amazon, so it's an easy purchase. Just go to the link if you like it. They sell it cheaper than I can.
