Generally house sparrows and house wrens. Both are cavity nesters and will compete with bluebirds for nesting spots.
I have two house wrens who sleep on a ledge under our deck every night. They turn their faces to the wall & their little tails hang over the edge. Very cute. I've seen pictures of other wrens doing the same. I've also read about them finding warmer places to snuggle like the pockets of clothes that are hanging outside, haystacks, etc.

It is very common for House Wrens to remove baby birds of other species from their nest before they get too heavy for them to pick up. Usually after about 4-7 days of development, the babies are safe from a House Wren due to their weight. House Wrens will often Take out the babies and drop them to the ground, and then either build their own nest or simply disappear. House Wrens however are a protected species and therefore they and their eggs/babies cannot legally be harmed.
Wrens was the unofficial name for the WRNS, The Womens Royal Navy Service.
