Welcome, 

I have a birdhouse but it doesn’t have a perch. Should I install a perch or leave it as it is?

It’s best not to put perches on birdhouses. Birds do not require a perch to get in and it can actually obstruct their entrance to the nesting boxes, as well as give predators something to hold onto.
