Purple Martin Bird Houses

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.
