This Birds Choice Coates Original is a traditional purple martin colony house with three floors and twelve nesting rooms in lightweight aluminum, the format martins have nested in across North America for generations. The reflective finish keeps the interior cooler, and the modular build lets you manage compartments through the season.
Mount it on a telescoping or raising pole in a wide-open area well away from trees, which martins require, and lower it to monitor nests or close rooms against sparrows and starlings. A successful colony returns to the same house year after year.
Birds Choice has manufactured wild bird products in Chilton, Wisconsin for years, including the Coates line of aluminum colony houses for purple martin landlords.
