This Starling Proof 4 Floor, 8 Room Purple Martin Bird House with Crescent Holes (comes fully assembled) is the best we know of and will welcome these beautiful birds home year after year. Martins spend the winter months in South America, in the lowlands east of the Andes. They return to North America in the summer to breed. Their breeding area ranges from Alberta to New Brunswick, southward into central Texas and Florida. They can also be found in scattered locations near the Pacific Coast, and in areas of the deserts and mountains of the southwestern United States and Mexico. East of the Rocky Mountains purple martins rely solely on housing supplied by humans for breeding.
The Starling Proof suite is one of the most scientifically proven purple martin bird houses available on the market today. The 6” x 12” suite concept utilizes two compartments per family offering an entry room and a nesting room. The martins enter through a starling resistant entry hole. From the entry room, they travel 90 degrees through a 2-1/4” opening into the nesting room with an elevated sub floor and nesting trays. This design provides greater protection from natural predators such as owls, coons, and hawks. Martins have a tendency to yield more fledglings from large compartments and the entry room serves as a protective staging area for the young birds prior to flight. Mansion features include all cool aluminum and stainless steel construction, reflective roof, ceiling panel for proper ventilation, hinged clean out doors, guard rails, top perch, and an all aluminum base plate. Made to our pole (listed as accessory below) No Assembly required. Door plugs sold separate. (comes fully assembled***Saves Hours of Time)
This purple martin bird house comes with Starling Resistant Entrance Holes (SREH's). Tests have shown that SREH's are 99.8% effective in keeping the pesky European Starlings out while letting the purple martins in. This is very important to the survival of the Purple Martin family since starlings are very aggressive nesters. (comes fully assembled)
