How to keep live crickets for Purple Martins
An idea of how you might keep live crickets when ordering 1000. Some choose to freeze and feed thawed crickets. I like to keep them live. It's really not that hard. Warmer is best. If inside a cool garage I've covered with a board and enough heat comes from a light bulb left on.

When attracting Purple Martins, you may need to learn how to handle Bluebirds and Tree Swallows. Learn the proper requirements to enjoy a "3 species colony site". Bluebirds and Tree Swallows can make attracting martins at a new site a little tougher, but well worth the effort to keep all 3 in your yard. This video shows how much fun Bluebirds are. www.purplemartin.org/ to learn more

    I notice the house sparrow has a shorter chunkier beak - more like a cardinal's beak than the longer beak of a wren. I also notice that the bluejays are NOT bullies at the feeder (at least for me). I have never seen it! But they are loud and defensive when a predator is around!

    • @ccdogpark
      @ccdogpark 2 роки тому

      I feed bluejays peanuts that are still in their shell at a separate platform feeder so they don't have to fight off other types of birds. Cardinals will sometimes take peanuts in their shell too.

    We have been successful Martin Land Lords for over 10 years now. We spend a lot of money on housing that didn't work. We purchased a "T" 14 and 4 gourds and we had martins checking out our offering within two weeks. Following year we had 6 pairs. We are now full up. 18 cavities. We keep a record and do nest checks frequently. Last year, 2019, we fledged 86 Martin hatch-lings. We have taught our birds to feed from a tray on a pole and in inclement weather we pop for a meal of meal worms, scrambled eggs and washed egg shells. We save egg shells all year long.

We have a few Bluebirds nesting, and a few Tree Swallows that are nesting in our Purple Martin house. It looks like we have to wait till next year for Martins. We have Song Sparrows also, so thanks again for the clear instructions on how to identify the House Sparrows.
