Apparently this is normal behaviour ...
We have great tits nesting in our box, as they did last year. I haven't seen them pecking at the entrance hole, though.
This year, I put up a bird table a few feet away from it and keep it topped up with dried worms and some seeds, so hopefully they have a readily available source of food nearby.
However, other birds seem to use it more: blackbirds, magpies, robins... not pigeons, though, as they seem to be too big to fit!
