First off ... super thrilled. I have a pair that are hanging around the housing for the last 3-4 days. Funny thing is that the male has taken a shine to the gourd attached to the modified aluminum house and the female to the newly built cedar house. Mostly the hang around the gourd, but occasionally they will go to their respected location and they squawk at each other ... hope they can work out their differences. (or preferences if that is what it is). Either way ... too many years to count and finally some level of success!!!
