I like your t-post ideas. Very creative. You should size your perch to fit the feet of smaller birds if you want to prevent larger birds from using it. It's definitely up to you, but I've had an owl use an old metal clothes line bar that was about an inch in diameter as a perch to hunt smaller birds. (It was pretty good at catching them, too.) Crows could also potentially be a problem if they start to use it. Your bean trellis should be an excellent diameter for bluebirds and other small songbirds. Also, be prepared to replace your sumac frequently, because it's one of the fastest decomposing types of wood here in the eastern US.
Great points about the perch size dictating the bird size. We have crows, that like the 'bath' on the ground, so they can walk to it. We have paint roller trays up higher that the crows dont use, now I know why. cheers

In Summer the water can get hot. It would be better in dappled shade. Thanks for your link.

Happy birds at HK's house. Awesome. Do you have purple martins? You should "simplify" the purple martin house,etc. Thanks HK. 😃🌱🐢
How's your strawberry patch coming along?
