About Purple Martins – Why They’ll Love This House

Purple martins are the largest member of the swallow family and are known for their graceful flight, bubbly chirps, and social nature. They eat flying insects—making them a natural form of pest control—and prefer to nest in multi-compartment houses like this one.   They return from South America each spring, typically arriving between January and April, depending on your location.

How to Attract Purple Martins to Your Yard

• Choose an open space—Place your martin house in a clear, open area at least 30 feet from trees or buildings
• Mount high on a 4x4 post, 12–20 feet off the ground for best visibility and protection
• Face the house toward an open field, preferably east or south for morning sun
• Keep it clean—Remove old nests each season to encourage return visits
• Be patient—It can take a year or two for martins to discover and claim a new site, but once they do, they often return year after year

Add music, movement, and natural beauty to your outdoor space with a birdhouse designed specifically for one of America’s favorite songbirds. This Amish-crafted six-compartment martin house is a blend of tradition, functionality, and charm—built to support the birds you love, season after season.
