Purple Martin Houses

You have the best chance of attracting purple martins if you put a purple martin house on the edge of a pond or river, surrounded by a field or lawn. Purple martins need a radius of about 40 feet of unobstructed flying space around their houses. A convenient wire nearby gives them a place to perch in sociable groups. Purple martins nest in groups, so you'll need a house with a minimum of four large rooms -- 6 or more inches on all sides, with a 2-1/4 inch entrance hole about an inch and a half above the floor. Ventilation and drainage are critical factors in martin house design. Porches, railings and porch dividers will make any purple martin house more appealing to purple martins.
