Purple Martin Man's Profile

Purple Martin Propagators - www.BirdHouseInfo.com - (512) 825-4712

Thank you Adrienne for posting the information about our purple martin housing systems. And, even though it is still December, it's time to start thinking about putting up new housing systems and getting the established houses ready for the next season. Here in Austin, the martins will be coming back in exactly 2 months.

We do want to make previous martin landlords aware of the problem we are having in Texas with the metal martin houses. Records from the past 3 seasons of very hot springs and summers show that 40-50% of the eggs laid in those metal houses are not even hatching because they are getting cooked inside the "oven-like" compartments. Please change metal houses out for the newer plastic gourds that stay much cooler and are larger on the inside, thus giving the martins a chance to raise more babies to the fledgling (flight) phase of life.

The posting from "pureevil" above makes a comment about our prices: the housing systems sell for the listed prices because they are made to last not just 7-9 years like those bought at a store, but 8-10 decades. The poles are made from aircraft aluminum that will withstand 95 MPH winds and all the hardware is stainless steel so it will never rust out. Also, we will even come out and do the complete installation of our systems (which no other company to date does). We are available to answer any questions you may have about purple martins or becoming a purple martin landlord.

Thanks,
Danny Sinclair - Owner - PMP
