It Has Begun

Finally had a male show up and land on my housing today when I got home from school, saw three more flying around but they never landed. Hope he can convince them to stay

Im curious, what do you think helped you to go from 1 to 12 pairs?

[Elijah Clark]

I think a variety of factors played a role in the population increase. One of them was extensive sparrow control throughout the entire year, in which the first year we had a swarm of sparrows. The second factor is that a nearby landlord started to let his colony run down a little bit in which he stopped removing starling and sparrow nests making my houses have more favorable conditions. Another factor that could have played a role is that I have my houses next to a huge field of costal bermuda so they have plenty of fly space and a river with stagnate holes for drinking.

What kind of housing do you offer?

[Elijah Clark]

I currently offer 2 S&K red barn houses and 10 gourds I'm trying to save up and buy some nicer housing in the future
