| This female purple martin is bringing back insects she caught while flying to feed to her young. All of our Purple Martin Housing Systems use the PolyGourd for several reasons. Most martin houses on the market are made of aluminum, which is one of the best conductors of heat. In the northern states where is much cooler, this is an inexpensive material that works fine for raising baby birds in. However, here in the hotter southern states, about 40%-50% of the eggs laid in aluminum houses are being COOKED by the extreme heat and never hatch. Also, most store-bought condo-style purple martin housing systems have small compartments (36 square inches of floor space) which only allows the female to lay 3 eggs a year instead of the usual 7 eggs laid in the larger gourds (81 square inches of floor space). Here at Purple Martin Propagators we are doing our best to replace aluminum houses with our much larger and cooler PolyGourds that allow for more baby purple martins to fledge every year. |

| Our Texas Purple Martin Population is Increasing!!! We have finally installed enough of our gourd purple martin housing systems to where Texas is now the state with an increasing purple martin population instead of decreasing like in other states!!! |
| IMPORTANT ADVISORY Landlords that are using the metal condo-style purple martin houses tell us that over the last 3 VERY HOT summers, only a small number of eggs laid in their bird houses fledged out!!! Many of them found dead, hollow unhatched eggs in the nests. |
