I just saw a BB house here on the PMCA site claiming it's sparrow resistant. Would be interested in seeing the data on that. I'm not saying it's not true by any means. I love the BBs too and would purchase if verified.
The concept is that sparrows like a dark cavity and a wider hole brings in more sunlight to deter them. I tried one of them and can tell you firsthand that they don't work.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not surprised as those devils are smart. Not much seems to deter them.
