Purple Martin House

Over 1 million Americans are caretakers of a purple martin house. The largest member of the swallow family, these majestic birds are known for their dark purple hues and pleasant singing, and are happy tenants in many backyards.  East of the Rocky Mountains, purple martins depend on bird houses for survival, which is why erecting a purple martin house is one of the most effective ways to attract nesting birds.
