You never know Sammi - I am going to widen the hole a bit and see if that gets any interest going.
Amazingly, I just discovered a new sparrow nest in one of our walls along a side alley. This is a hole that was left open (it shouldn't have been) by the plumber two years ago when our gas pipe was rerouted, and somehow I managed the miss the fact that there is a sparrow nesting in there. Today I saw them going in and out, so I guess the nest must be actually within our wall cavity which is probably not great. You can see the hole in the pic above the gas pipe - it is a good 50mm in diameter. In fairness I don't often look up when walking down that alley - I hadn't even noticed the hole before, let alone the nest..
BTW this is the wall where I was thinking of putting a sparrow box.
