Tips on how to build a purple martin house ...
The purple martin house is more eclectic than other designs for several reasons that actually have to do with the species' nesting habits. Here is a brief run down of what you need to know before you build a purple martin house. First of all purple martins are community nesters which means that the bird house plan that you choose must be an open concept. Another factor is the crescent shaped archways that are characteristic of their houses. This is not just a stylistic conceit that makes the purple martin house look like an open air villa. It is to prevent larger birds from invading their space. Before you build a purple martin house you might also want to consider including a telescopic or hinged pole as part of the design. This allows you to clean the bird house with ease after nesting season is done. Purchase purple martin house plans at the following site. These are custom plans which take into account all the requirements of purple martins.
