Incorrect The pvc trim is available at lowes in angle 90 degrees Also google the glue for pvc trim to add more center pvc if desired.

Has anyone tried electric fence/wire on the poles to shock the predator

What is this device called they’re nesting in?

Hello are y’all going to post for 2024?

I use automotive grease on the bottom 3 foot of my 60 plex unit to keep pis ants and others from climbing up the pole. The tube grease gun type of grease.

Good stuff.

Where do I get a waffle tip bolt?

AMONIA?

Do cone baffles work

Have you every had any martins fall into the netting whenever they fight?

who here considers humans invasive?

good work, invasive species do a lot of damage to ecosystems

have you found dead snake anywhere near rack?😅

That's very creative. I hope that wind doesn't blow it down. Good luck.

I always like listening to Kathy. ❤

I put my trail cam out by my pond and got video of raccoons swimming across it to climb on a raft. We don't have black rat snacks this far west Because of my concern about ground nest predators (ducks, geese, turkeys, pheasants etc) I have given up and just feed the raccoons cheap cat kibble during the nesting season. During hunting season the neighbors shoot or trap them

Do you have a ground wire hooked to the pole?

Hi!!.

Yep a VA girl like myself...It is NON STOP with snakes..It gets soooo undefeated feeling. Extremely heart breaking.

54:02 that's a country girl right there..

Hello... Quick question..How do I keep my gourds from swinging so much from the drain wind. No trees around to break the wind any. They swing so much that babies would probably slide or fall out..

Thanks so much for sharing this valuable video! WE have predator guards for all our PM and BB houses and poles. I always believe in the adage: there is always a first time. Why take a chance?

Thank you for this. I’m preparing new gourds. I’m a first timer. I’m planning to put my elbow vent at the same height as the “hooded” undrilled vents from the factory. Do you think that’s a decent place for it? I saw you speak in another video and got the step drill and thread cutter. Thank you for the tip!

Great video 👍

You are amazing kind and thoughtful. Glad the jumpers have you to care for them.

Sir an adult purple martin was injured in my garden. Now its not responding. I even tried giving some water drops to drink.

Kathy what do you use to wax/grease the Troyer predator guards?

Where do you live that you have to make these crazy contraptions to keep snakes away

Awesome

Great vid! Learned a lot about predator guarding too. Great sharing. New friend here.

Very interesting adoption study. I am very surprised to learn this. I also would be interested in your findings if you find this method of adoption successful again. I have an occasional jumper or 2 for what ever the reason. I always put them back with a brood of roughly the size if able. I have even placed a younger or older jumper in any nest cavity and they are usually adopted and cared for until they fledge, even if behind or ahead of their nest mates. I see you placed this single gourd at the same height as the others and in close proximity and furnished egg shells or oyster shells to hold the adults interest. I am wondering if this may have a lot to do with the success of this method you had. Thank you for this post. Please keep us updated if you can.

WOW A MALE DOING THE ADOPTION HOW ASTOUNDING!

Please keep us updated!

Sometimes, too much extreme of a measure is not needed! An effective predator/baffle Guard(s) and Owl Cage(s) should be enough, you don't need to send all of the ground predators to the Electric Chair!😂😂😂😂

Have you any experience with using a slinky around a pole? I’ve read that snakes aren’t able to climb around a slinky.

What are the size of your holes in net?

Hi my mom and I are coming up from Texas for the field day in Virginia! Is there anyone I can communicate with via here or other routes ? I do have 4 pairs on my small 1/4 acre lot in subdivision need support

Mine did not work. First year land lord. I’m so sad. 😢

Thank you!

Excellent Video! Thanks for summarizing predator protection options. I just lost 13 (nestlings + eggs) and the snake was still in the cavity when I did a nest check. Martins were very active prior to my regular nest check. I had a bird net around the pole, but no predator guard. The bird net was wrapped too tightly around the pole. I have had martins for 23 years and this is the first snake attack. I was researching predator guards when I came across your video.

What about nets? 11:16

I have a noisy SY male whom has produced young

Are there sites I could signup to be a new landlord “support landlord”?

I wish I would’ve had time! Trying for next time for sure! You guys talking about how late it gets in the season of them still arriving? My adult birds just starting to come in now, no nest building yet, but they have been staying for about five nights now

Thank God for people that do this. A lot of work to protect our natives

Thank you for sharing with me, I need to protect from snakes!

I remember in 1994, I had my first bluebird nest with 5 eggs, I didn't know the HOSP back then but they were building a nest 50ft from BB, I pulled their nest only to come home from work the next day to see they took over the BB house and threw out the eggs, that's called HOSP. Rampage, evening I placed a ST-1 trap on the house with bread, caught the male next morning, I rang his neck completely off,I was so pissed, then the BB came back and nest. They're an invading non invasive species that needs to be eliminated

I attended a few minutes of this presentation. Well done, Fanatics!
