Being a Purple Martin landlord is very rewarding. We still have our anchor male martin that comes back every year. He's first to arrive and lands on his box porch like an airplane on a carrier.
@@dadscavaliers642 We did at first. We bought a sparrow trap and installed it about 40 feet from the martin pole on a 4' high pedestal platform. First year we dispatched about 125 English house sparrows. Second year about 75 and the capture number kept going down to where we only get 20 or so a year. Still have the original trap, it's still working just fine and we do NOT have a sparrow problem in the T 14. We got it at a Purple Martin Festival and you can find them on eBay and at Amazon. A bit spendy for some however well worth the money.
@@dadscavaliers642 To dispatch the sparrow, I've seen where the person reaches in and grabs the sparrow in their hand then squeeze the chest really hard. I have never done it I have seen it done.
Loved the video but it would of been nice to have the days after hatching put on each screen as it changed so you could see how fast they grew in just a few days.
I know,they run them off and kill the babys, same on my blue bird boxes, alot of ppl shoot the males to stop the invasion and it does work for the most part.
the sweet little sounds they are making, omg, so cute! so darling!
The Mother & father Great.
V.nice Video, Thank You Sir,
Allah Bless You, From Kuwait.
So precious! And I love the sounds they make ! Such beautiful chirps!
Wonderful birds, so nice to see them grow up!
I’m watching this right now. In front of my Grandpa Marion Prince’s. I love the piano. 🎹
This is so beautiful. I miss them so much.
When they started to fly out, I felt like my nonexistent teenagers were moving out.
Thanks for the camera feed and answering our million questions about what goes on in there!!!
Is amazing that the parents able to feed all of them. With this much of chicks n none of them is under size! !!
Absolutely stunning birds. The prettiest chirps ❤️
It so cute how they all huddle up. Oh, the itchiness, when the pin feathers are coming in.
Some of the most colorful creatures are birds. In their natural color combinations, inspiration can be taken almost as endlessly as in flowers.

Do you have any sparrow issues? If so, how did you solve it? They always take over my houses.☹

The limping progressively improved each night and the injured nestling left the gourd for good on August 13th!
Purple Martin Conservation Thank you! So Pee Wee left last Sunday and got better! It's good to know that. I miss them so much :)
Whats the best way to stop sparrow house invasions? Thanks.
Me encantan tus vídeos😉
Wow this really very nice best ever
Nice
Their nest is surprisingly clean. Where are the poops?
And to think a few months later they will be flying to South America.
I am also waiting pee wee when she will be back next live stream..... InshaAllha

Thank you Zehisa. Greetings!
where can you find live purple martin nest this year
HOW EMOTIONAL STORY 👏😢😔 OND DAY OUR CHILDREN WILL BE GONE😔😦😧😭
Love the purple Martin's but hate the sparrows. How can I keep them out of my purple martini house?
I know,they run them off and kill the babys, same on my blue bird boxes, alot of ppl shoot the males to stop the invasion and it does work for the most part.
Lets hope Pee Wee returns next spring or that someone will find him!
I love it when the hatchlings start chirping.💛
🥰
Очень интересно!
Dream, the sweetest dreams, little angels, hoping, no human being, would destroy your future.
There is no need for background music. Let it be.
Agree 100%! Wish there was no music, yet can't mute it without losing the adorable chirps.
Quality is amazing.
What cameras do you use ?
Why the nest is changing 5:42
