I installed a few birdhouses in my earlier allotted house. However, they were all occupied by squirrels. And they are big enough to drive the birds away. any suggestions?

Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to tack a thin piece of wood over the front of the bird house with a smaller hole over the too large one? Less expensive than buying or making a whole new house.
Squirrels chew, you will have to use something with metal. I have used sheet metal, even tops from cans, and enclosed this in between two pieces of wood. I have had many houses destroyed by squirrels.
Also, put your house on pole with a baffle to keep out squirrels (a major bird nest predator), raccoons, snakes, and others interested in an easy meal.
