Great news!

Good evening,
I have finally got PM checking my housing out. Well guess what.... I have Blue Birds that are building a nest and they run the PMs off. What should I do to solve this feud and keep blue Birds and PM?

I have not tried eggs, leaves or mirrors. Man...this Martin business is getting to be like a Scifi movie!! I will try anything!!!

I appreciate your help. I have an open location,i have gourds and a house modified to larger compatments, i play Dawn Song, mud around the openings, pine straw to nest, water about 100 yds.
I hope they recognize I am trying!!

Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks for the reply. I hope he will share his birds and not put up any more houses. I am i trouble though , he has a huge complex.

Hello Arkansans, I have been trying to get Martins for 3 years with no luck . I have moved to a more open area closer to my neighbor wh has a colony of about 70. I was encouraged yesterday while playing the Dawn song with a lot of lookers with none staying. My question is....am I too late to get PM ...

I have been trying to get Martins in Pea Ridge,Arkansas for 3 years....no luck. My neighbor has a colony of about 50 at about 100 yards and they fly over and look around, but don't stay. My question is....am I running out of time?
