Purple Martin


Purple martins
have a broad range across the country. In Florida they live and breed during
the summer. Their main habitat is multichambered bird houses, gourds, and,
out west, saugaro cacti. These birds have been treasured for centuries because
of the vast quantities of insects they eat. Since the introduction of European
house sparrows and starlings, the purple martin population has declined. These
intruders nest earlier in the season, monopolizing the martin's habitat.
This house is handmade with weather and insect resistant western red cedar.
Almost all of the screws are stainless steel. These are used for their durable
and rust-free nature. The one exception is a specially coated screw located
at the bottom center of the front. This piece is used for ease in removal
to clean and mount the birdhouse. Other features incorporated into this box
are: vents, for good air circulation; a drain hole, in case water gets inside;
and a rough "ladder" for the fledglings to use to climb out.
