Purple Martin Forum

Welcome to this site! You will learn a lot about martins. I am trying to start a colony 20 miles south of huntington w.va.. Last year was my first year trying. I started with gourds and had lots of visitors so this year I will be offering aluminum housing and some sort of wood housing. Again welcome!

Thank you!! I will definitely try some of these mods.

I am going to be putting this house on a mpp this spring. Should I make any modifications to it, like cork on the walls, tunnels on the end etc. This will be my 2nd year trying to host martins. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
