Purple Martin Gourd Prep 

Great show. LOVE your marten gord

I have enjoyed your entertainmen

I found the dawn song on RU-vid after you mentioned that cd... Just letting everyone know! ❣️😉👍❣️💐🐦💜

Jeff, it's called (iridescent), when the sun hits the male that brings out the color. I know it's a late post but i really like watching your martin videos. Pretty sure you can take your new rope and tape it to the old and run it up through the pulley, I've done that before, hope your martins are having a great year.

Thank you so much! 😁👍❣️🐦🐥

Good stuff Jeff, that Dawn Song from Martin's Awesome

Love the video. This will make my fifth year being a landlord. Got my first pair last year. Watching the sky for their return to East Tennessee

I ABSOLUTELY 1,000,000% LOVE YOUR VIDEO HERE SIR!!! AMAZING!

Great video! I live in southern NC and i just cleaned my gourds for this year. I use the troyer and super-gourds. in all, i have 56..hope to see them soon..

great video keep up the good work

Great video, I just put up a rack and gourds rather late and hope I can still attract attract some. Very informative, thanks

I love these martinhouse gourds a lot better than the commercial houses.

Love the plastic gourds. I soak mine in bleach water to clean the stains, and make them look like new,

Jeff and I went to school together and while he was learning these skills, we were wasting our lives on alcohol and other things. Who is the winner? Not me..love Jeff and don't you know we need him when things go south..

Hello ! I live in a rural area south of Birmingham, AL. I use stovepipe baffles around steel conduit poles to keep rat snakes from getting to my birds. I am using old TRIO Aluminum houses with doubled compartments and a few natural gourds painted with white Elastomeric roof coating. When I did not use the baffles, the snakes would run my colony off. I did not see baffles on your poles. Do you use snake protection ? If you use a small stock water tub, you can add bleach to the water, and submerge the plastic gourds in the bleach water. I hold them under the water by placing a concrete block on top of two at a time. I got my first pair on 2-24. I miss the 1897 Miss. flag !

I'm here

You did a great job to begin with. Thank you. I am working towards being a landlord. I grew about a hundred natural gourds I’m cleaning as we speak. Two questions I have. What is the width and height of the crescent whole. Second is can I put my gourds on a wire between two poles. I have plenty of space and a little watering hole where I want the gourds. In the goat pen seriously. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. FYI the fainting goat thing was hilarious. I’d love to have some. Thank you. Conway sc here thanks again

Trying to build natural gourds. I see the SREH on the gourds you have aren't built with porches.. I'm in Huntsville, I don't know how successful this will be, but I like the idea. Have an Eastern Barred Screech owl family that nests in the area.

Jeff, just found you channel and subscribed. That is an amazing pole design - do you see them? Or, do you consider special orders from folks? I live in Maryland - the previous owners had purple martins and I'd like to continue to support them. Most of the pole setups I've seen are not nearly this well constructed and designed. Thank you!

Just a update. Our first Purple Martin scout showed up yesterday!!! Didn’t get any good video, he was moving way to fast.

Have you ever thought of adding porches?

I’ve been told starlings will poop in peoples Roof and garage, and it can Be deadly
