Hi Fe,
Have a look here: https://morningchores.com/bird-house-plans/ - plenty of ideas and tutorials. I especially like the "green roof birdhouse". Have fun and don't forget to use eco-friendly or natural paint for your project.
Here are some ideas that I saved.
Have you thought about searching the visuals on Pinterest or Etsy for inspiration? There is a wealth of ideas and visual inspiration there for your consideration. That might lead you to decide on an idea or theme. After that I’ll be assembling materials and starting your project.
Fe: maybe this will help
