    My Mimi, who has long passed, loved her purple martins and we would spend hours in her backyard listening to them chirp and sing and watching their babies grow up. Seeing them learn to fly and leave the nest was such a rewarding experience. They hold a special place in my heart and every year when I see them come to my house it reminds of my time with my Mimi. Thank you Maya for giving them some spotlight, they are truly the cutest little birds.

    My husband and I have been purple martin keepers for about 5 years. Every single year we add more houses. Right now we have about 60 nest boxes. If we see we are running short we have about 8 more nests we can provide with gourds and boxes. I love to hear them in the summer. They really love where we live. We have a farm and have 2 ponds right at the house. The ponds are full of dragon flies, their favorites. I hope everyone that sees this will realize how important these little birds are.

    This is really neat. I had no idea Purple Martin's relied this heavily on us for providing breeding grounds, though it makes sense with the habitat loss and invasive species present in NA today. I also just learned they breed as far north as Southern Ontario where I am, so will have to go looking once they arrive this spring.
