    I enjoyed the video very much and will make sure my husband sees it too. He waited several years for the martins to move into his set up and his patience finally won!!! We now have the martins. This is their second year here. They are great to have around and help with Mosquitos. Our's are very protective of their nesting site and when active, it is not uncommon to get dive-bombed LOL They ar welcome here with open arms and hearts!!!!! Kathy

    Wooden houses are the best - birds love them and they make a great project to share with kids (in my case, with grandkids) What a great video of birds!!

    The Purple Martin is slowly recovering from 40 years of the
    wrong houses in place in the USA. A sad but true story but
    one that made the Aluminum house industry very rich. Today
    Martins nest in Starling resistant houses and gourds. Like
    the ones seen. Many more are needed they prefer to nest at
    Country clubs and Golf Coarse sites. And are very popular
    there as they eat bugs that harass the golfers. Many Country clubs across the country host these birds

    For more information go to Purple martin conservation web page. The starling and English House sparrow were a sad mistake they never should have been released in the US.
    Starlings kill Martins and House sparrow peck and kill there chicks. Who can not have compassion for a bird who depends on people for a home.....

    Removal of small aluminum houses has benefit the species and there making a major comeback
    please pressure people to remove the small aluminum houses with gourds and large wooden
    houses that are starling resistant. There back nesting in area's where they have not nested in over 100 years. The birds can produce many more chicks and there numbers grow rapidly. This is a grass roots effort and people can make a difference if we all work together.

    Very tame and lovable song bird they are dolphins of the bird
    world. More common in southern states but do nest in the
    northern area of the country just not as common. The birds
    return for many years to the same house. The aluminum
    house industry is to blame for the decline there houses were
    only six by six and it retarded the numbers of eggs the females produced. Super gourds have replaces the aluminum houses that were to small.

    Those birds don't like those bird houses. They're flying out quick. The bird houses that I builded, the birds stay for a long time.
