Description
The purple martin is the largest North American swallow. These aerial acrobats have speed and agility in flight, and when approaching their housing, will dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked.
Purple Martins like to build their nests in crevices so people who want to attract them provide martin houses, an apartment-like birdhouse, or fake plastic guords. These birds are much desired by farmers or people who have lakes because of the massive amount of insects and mosquitoes that make up their diet.
The Purple Martin is considered to be America's most wanted bird. The interaction between man and martin dates all the way back to the Native Americans. To this day, the purple martin, with its bubbly personality and gurgling song, is cherished by many that host them. Purple Martins Each spring brings on an excitement that only a purple martin landlord (someone that keeps martins) can experience as they anxiously anticipate the return of their beloved purple martins.
