Nice shed...will need ventilation...windows for light too.

3 great articles linked in my signature below, all beginners should read before building.
Let me know if you can't see or open the links.

Here's good info too....
Good examples of anti-dig apron installation:

Where in this world are you located?
Climate, and time of year, is almost always a factor.
Please add your general geographical location to your profile.
It's easy to do, (laptop version shown), then it's always there!

Really nice base to work with. Yes you'll want to add more ventilation and/or windows for light. Roosts can easily go across the back or on either side (and nests can probably get tucked into one side as well).

I see some dark spots on the floor... is that just an old stain or is it water? Just make sure that the roof is solid against leaks.

Yes for sure adding windows at least 2. And I am putting a new roof on it as it does leak a little bit! And was thinking nesting boxes lower to the ground and on one side of the shed.

Perfect opportunity to make that gambrel roof ventilated by adding eaves:
