Purple Martin Forum

Thanks. This hasn't happened in the past. I thought the hurricane Florida experienced this summer might have had something to do with it. My husband wants to check the house again and possibly wash it more with fresh water. I might have to comply. Nothing left to do, but wait.

I've had the same metal 2 story Martin house for 4 years. Last year I really cleaned the house out after the birds left. A couple of weeks ago, 6 birds arrived - as expected. They were here for a couple of days and then left. They've come back very briefly a few days, but don't appear happy here now...
