Purple martins need
the same basic things all animals need - food, water, and shelter. Purple
martins are pure insectivores, hunting their prey on the wing. Landlords
of purple martin colonies need not worry about feeding, except to watch these
acrobatic birds catch their dinner in spectacular fashion.
Any natural water
source within a couple of miles of a purple martin birdhouse will be enough to
maintain the colony. Obviously, the closer the water is, the better, but it is
not necessary to have a house on a lake to attract purple martins.
The third critical
item is shelter. People who actually care about purple martins build
our purple martin
birdhouses.
These birdhouses are designed to make it as easy as possible for purple martin
colonies (and their landlords) to be successful.
A well-placed and
maintained purple
martin birdhouse will attract not only the intended tenants, but competitors
of the purple martin as well. Some of these competitor species are fiercely
territorial and may take over birdhouses intended for purple martins. Any
prospective purple martin landlord should be prepared to perform regular
birdhouse checks to ward off any unwelcome squatters. For more on this, see my
Purple Martin Info
Page.
A diligent landlord will eventually get purple martins to colonize in their
birdhouse, and that colony will return year after year. Purple martins are
beautiful, people-friendly songbirds that depend almost solely upon humans to
provide housing.
