To All of our PMCA Forum Friends :

Please know that our User Name has now changed from Beggin4Birds to
" NOMORE-Beggin4Birds " this year ! This is Year 11 of trying to get our
beloved Purple Martins to come and stay and FINALLY it has happened !!!
They arrived on my 75th birthday on May 31st, 2014 What a wonderful birthday gift to receive after waiting for so many years. We hope that everyone will celebrate our joy with us. For those who are still waiting, DON'T EVER GIVE UP !!!

Fondly,
NOMORE-Beggin4Birds

Martin Colony History: I moved to South Florida, from Delaware, in August of 2015.

I care for a 6 condo Sunset House as well as two Deluxe Gourd Racks, with 24 Chirpynest/Excluder gourds, along a canal in Pompano Beach, Florida.


At Quiet Waters Park, nearby in Deerfield Beach, I care for a Deluxe Gourd Rack with 12 TVG's. I also care for a Deluxe Gourd rack with 12 Excluder gourds with Modified Excluder entrances. I am substituting 6 Chirpynest boxes for 6 of the Conley II entranced gourds in 2026.

At another local park, Tradewinds Park in Coconut Creek, I care for a Trendsetter 12, 5 gourds rack with 60 Excluder gourds with Modified Excluder Entrances and 1 Deluxe Gourd Rack with 12 Troyer Vertical Gourds with Starling Stoppers over the Conley II's to keep out smaller starlings.

That is WONDERFUL NEWS Nomorebeggingfor birds!!! Tell us all about it. Give us some details. I am SO HAPPY to hear this good news.

I think I told you my sisters and mom live in Frederick, MD not too far from you.
