Re: Pesky Sparrow - will they ever give up?

I gave up trying to shooo off the sparrows. After doing so it seems my birds accepted the mating pair and left them alone. It seems the sparrows are housekeepers and clean rooms.

Central Texas at Temple update

We have loads of birds and new baby heads appear almost every day. Some young are now flying but begging for food from Mama. She sends them on their way. Everything looks well and we have a lot of Songs being sung.

Really the size of the rooms

I purchased a 16 room house, have it all put together and now I learn the rooms may be too small at 6x6. What is the real deal on size of rooms and if they need to be larger why is Purple Martin selling houses with too small of rooms? Please advise me, Sonny
