Has anyone seen birds yet?

Hwy, anyone seen a birds as of yet? With the wqrm weather it should be soon, let me know.

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.

Great birds this year. Several babies born and socialized to group, then they all left. Today they reurned after approx 30 days. Why?

Has scout bird appeared as of yet here? It's been really warm so far this winter. Hope for lots of birds.

Our birds were here and left and was gone for a wek maybe 2 and I then took down the house, now they return and just flutter wings where house was, So, I put the house back up and they returned. Now again they have been gone but again birds return. Are these the same birds?

Has anyone spotted birds yet? Looking but haven't seen any, the house is up and ready for my babies.

Thanks for the info, they are still coming and staying a day or so and then gone again.. I'm keeping it up.

We had great success this season and a lot of enjoyment. The birds raised several babies in our 12x6 hotel rooms that accommodate 16 birds. They left and gone for about 10 days and as I was about to take down house Martins arrived by a group of about 20-30 birds. This group stayed around for about 3...

The birds spent their time here in temple, Tx and now they are gone, all left and were gone for over a week. I went out back and now I have birds everywhere. They seem to be visiting and not planning on staying, guess what they left and were gone for about 3-4 days and now more birds come. Could it ...

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.

I have been watching for birds for about 2 weeks and this morning they have arrived. The sky is full of birds and both us and neighbors houses are landing ledges. Great to see.

Has anyone seen birds as of yet? Looking but not seen.

Thanks for the input. I have my house up and ready just in case..Thanks

When are my birds coming back? Last year I had more birds that houses, covered with birds. I have more houses this year. Waiting.

I live in Temple, Texas Central Texas and I'm wondering if there is enough food for the birds to survive?

I have enlarged my rooms to 6x12, now....There are starling coming up to the house. I do have the smaller holes, the cresent shaped holes. Are starling and sparrows really going to be a problem?

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
