Hello

Today i found this snake in my Lawn , it was heading towards Wooden bird houses we have on the wall. Sparrows were shouting in a strange way continuously so i went to check out and found this snake heading to wards bird houses.

Is it venomous ?

Looks like a rat snake of some sort. I doubt that it's venomous though.

To me, it looks like this gray rat snake. The saddles appear similar configuration.

If your location is correct it is a Spalerosophis diadema and harmless.

It may be that it depends on where he lives.
