Did you know: Purple Martins will come back every year to your birdhouse if you set up your site properly? Here are a few tips for setting up an ideal site for Purple Martins:

1) Housing should be placed in the center of the most open spot available, about 30-120 feet from human housing.

2) There should be no trees taller than the martin housing within 40 feet, preferably 60 feet. Generally, the farther the housing is placed from trees, the better.

3) The height of the housing can be anywhere from 10-20 feet. Keep tall bushes, shrubs, and vines away from the pole. Do not attach wires to a martin house, especially if they lead to trees, buildings, or to the ground.
