Great video!
That was a gorgeous shot of them all cupping in to land on the rack.
I wonder if the Chirpy Nest maker has ever considered making a multi-compartment Chirpy Nest house? Using the same great features of the current, individual units, and incorporating those into a large, multi-compartment house?

Thanks! I went went to his YouTube page and it seems he has some different type boxes that appear to be multiple units.

I’m planning to buy a few more later on to use for next season. They appear to be loved by the martins, well made, and not overly expensive. Shipping is a bit steep but not bad if ordering a few at a time.

Nice video dsonyay. The martins look happy and healthy. Matt. F, I was thinking the same thing when you mentioned if Chirpy would ever make a colony style housing using the chirpy compartments.

Did you use the mulched pine needles in the Chirpy Nests? I would love to have that many this year...good for you! P.S. I like the look of your diverse rack! peace, Doug

Hi Dave,
I was poking around, and found some videos posted by the maker that shows some multi-compartment Chirpy Nest units. They look really good, but I'm not sure if they're available any longer?

Thanks Matt for the update video. Neat to see that great minds think alike. Great design. In the future if I decide to go over the 100 cavity mark, I may buy a few of these.

I use regular pine straw ... not sure what is meant by “mulched”. I bought a bale of it at Home Depot for about 10 bucks (which is far more than I’d need in a lifetime.).

It’s called “Vigoro Long Leaf Pine Straw”

Thanks for the kind words.
