Nice boxes, I would radius the hole in the Tit Box. I put out three replacement boxes, radiused two but overlooked the third, the Tits selected the third and spent days at a time tap,tapping until they put the radius on it.
I suppose it stops their feathers snagging.

You put the images in the Gallery, where they're currently waiting approval, which they won't get. You should have put them in Images.

Good effort, lfphotography.

You may find that some composite particle boards degrade quite quickly. Some are designed for exterior use using waterproof resins and finishes, those for interior use don't.

Degradation of external surfaces can be attractive and break up those unnatural flat surfaces to a degree.

The failure of boxes is often down to the quality of the fixings, for example galvanised nails are longer lasting than those that aren't. Stainless steel and brass screws will last beyond the life of the box and can be reclaimed to use again.

Good luck with your boxes.
