Heath Outdoor Products M-12DP Deluxe Wood Martin House Review

It's lovely to look at, but a couple things you should be aware of if you actually plan to use this to attract purple martins:
1. The rooms are very small. The purple martin preservation org actually recommends larger, essentially the size of two of the rooms.
2. It does have removable roof panels, but that really only gives you difficult access to the top floors & anyone who knows anything about martins knows they are highly dependent on humans. If their nest area becomes overrun by pests or mold (from water leaking in through the leaking panels they will abandon the house and not return. You couldn't check on the bottom floor rooms, it's simply not possible.
3. Mounting the house onto a bracket that can then be mounted on a telescoping pole at least 12-15feet high. Since you can't get to the bottom floor to mount with the screws going down & outside of the house into the bracket you'd have to screw four large screws in, which would mean that you immediately lose those 4 rooms.
5. Don't forget the purple martins respond only to white housing, so you're going to want to pant this solid white, with at least 2 coats. Also mine had some small cracks that would have leaked water, the birds aren't really fond of that so I had to preseal those before painting.

When I finished and realizing what all this meant, I decided it just wasn't worth it and purchased the gourds, you can keep those clean, and each one is the perfect size for a purple martin family. You can get great info by going to the site purplemartin .org (obviously spaced because Amazon deletes hyperlinks) this is the nonprofite site dedicated to preserving & educating on purple martins.
