Purple Martin House
WatersEdgee Suites

Aluminum houses seem to be best suited for the Purple Martin. They are lightweight, do not harbor parasites, easy to clean, and cooler, if properly ventilated. The homes should be placed in an open area, at least 25 feet from objects such as tree limbs, houses, etc.

The WatersEdge Suite is the most scientifically proven house on the market today. When your martins demand the best, settle for nothing less. The 6 x 12 suite concept utilizes two compartments per family offering an entry room and a nesting room. The Martins enter through a (SREH) starling resistant entry hole. From the entry room they travel 90 degrees through a 2 1/4 opening into the nesting room with the elevated sub floor. The design provides greater protection from natural predators such as owls, coons, and hawks. Martins have a tendency to yield more fledglings from larger compartments and the entry room serves as a protective staging area for the young birds prior to flight.

Predator Guard Predator Guard
Available for the Coates 12 and 16 room houses the optional Predator Guard will help keep out the natural enemy's of your martin family. Easily attaches to the guard rail and metal edges of your house. The guard is made of the same high quality aluminum as your martin home.

Door Plugs
Door plugs are important to keep messy sparrows from taking over the house during the winter months while the martins are wintering in South America. When the martins begin to return in the spring, take a few plugs out and let the martins know you are "back in business". Then, as more birds come, take the rest of the plugs out and let the martins have their home.

Porch Dividers
This unique feature designed to prevent what is called "male porch domination". The problem that many landlords have encountered is that one male will dominate a porch that has three potential compartments. By his aggressiveness, he will make the other birds stay off "his porch". This creates a situation in which only one active nest will be found. The other nests that had been started will be abandoned, occasionally after eggs have been laid by other martins.
