Looking pretty good! I like the light in there. It looks like Halloween. Just keep them warm this winter. A suggestion is that you should of made the landing board so that can close up against the bobs and drop down to open. That way you can lock it up by pushing the landing board up

I would put a good coat of primer on first then some qaulity paint, wafer wood needs to be sealed or it will swell.

Make sure to get all the edges good, this is where the moisture really gets in.

No sealer, a good qaulity primer will seal, and the paint will weatherize it, make sure you use exterior paint, behr or sherwin williams are good qaulity. 2 coats primer, let dry beetween each coat, 1 good coat of paint, then a light one. The problem with wafer wood is its not exterior siding, that is why you need to primer and paint well.

4X4 feet shouldn't have more than 8 birds in it. And an aviary is necessary for fresh air and sunshine. Or they will not be healthy. Any good primer, and good exterior paint will seal the wood.
Yes Sherwin Williams would be a good choice.

I use these for ventilation in my roof, they work a treat

they are called vent cowls and you can get them in any plumbing store for a few dollars. You can usually get flanges and things that connect to them that make it easy to fit them to the roof too.
I put wall vents low down in my walls and the vent cowls through the roof and I get great fresh air flow that way.
