This popular birdhouse is designed specifically for the favorite Purple Martin bird found in the northeast part of the United States and in the Amazon in the winter. Purple Martin's like to breed in colonies in close proximity to human beings, making them a very fun bird to watch.
Purple Martins are aerial insectivores, meaning that they catch insects
from the air. The birds are agile hunters and eat a variety of winged
insects. Rarely, on occasion, they will come to the ground to eat
insects.
Purple Martins, east of the
Rocky Mountains, have become almost completely dependent
on humans.

wooden fence posts or dead trees. By design, these bluebird houses will provide the perfect retreat for our blue friends.
These unique houses house one of the most feared winged creatures alive. However, bats can be very important to nature.
As the primary predator of night flying insects, such as mosquitoes, bats not only keep these menacing insects
away from your yard, but keep the balance of nature up.
A single little brown bat can catch hundreds of mosquito-sized insects an hour, and a typical colony of big brown bats can protect local farmers from the costly attacks of 18 million root-worms each summer.
These bat houses are made of durable wood and are designed to attract bats by use of color. Bats are not blind, as popular belief would have it.
