As with most North American long range migrants, Purple Martins migrate to North America to nest. East of the Rockies they are totally dependent on human-supplied Purple Martin housing. In the Pacific Northwest, Purple Martins are beginning to use gourds and clusters of single-unit Purple Martin boxes for nesting. Purple Martins breeding west of the Rockies nest in abandoned woodpecker nest cavities.
A bird house for purple martins should be designed specifically for these birds, as they have specific habitat and nesting requirements. Some key features to consider when selecting a birdhouse for purple martins include:
Size: Purple martins prefer larger birdhouses with spacious compartments, so aim for a house that is at least 8 inches by 8 inches in size per compartment.
Ventilation: Purple martins need good airflow in their nests to keep them cool, so make sure the birdhouse has plenty of ventilation holes.
Location: Purple martins prefer to nest in open areas where they can easily spot predators, so place the birdhouse in a location with an open view.
Material: Use materials that are easy to clean and maintain, such as metal or plastic, to prevent the buildup of bacteria and parasites in the nest.
Predator protection: Purple martins are vulnerable to predators such as snakes and cats, so make sure the birdhouse is sturdy and has a roof to protect the nest from these threats.
Nesting materials: Purple martins prefer to nest in cavities, so provide materials such as straw or grass for them to build their nests.
