Re: Purple Martin

Any Purple Martin landlords here?

I fondly remember as a child many years ago seeing and hearing the songs of these birds in the backyard. Dad had as many as 30 pairs per season. I have built a box and need some good info on how to house these birds.

thanks

Re: Purple Martin

I noticed today that Duncraft has a selectoin of Purple Martin products on sale. The hosue they sell (or maybe apartment is a better word) is marked down from $39.95 to $29.95. But its plastic and I have my doubts about its longivity.
