PURPLE MARTINS: The gregarious nesting
habits of martins will allow the builder to employ skill
and imagination in construction. Important factors to
consider are coolness and accessibility. A multi-storied
apartment house will attract a colony of martins. The
availability of water will be a factor in inducing the
birds to nest. The houses should be situated in an open
space and painted white to reflect heat.
