Small Purple

Peace, love, and Golondrinas

Recently, I was having a conversation about Purple Martins with a friend. She had no experience in bird watching, so I was eager to share with her. In describing the nesting habits of purple martins, which inexplicably changed the word "Colonial" to "collective." I guess it was a forgivable lapse, as the words are similar, but I chuckled at the image of a hippie commune the '60 's 70' s that came to mind. Later that night, I sat down and started to write some other ways that remind me of Purple Martins the hippies. The following is based on a stereotypical perception of the hippies, and has no intention of offending the current or former members of that culture.

1) As I said, are common. Usually, a group of Purple Martins live in a house for birds (or bird houses) is known as a "colony" not a "commune", but you get the idea. purple martin birdhouses are two varieties. Very often, are apartment complexes as a mansion with several nesting compartments. These birdhouses generally accommodate four to sixteen Purple Plane pairs. Some Purple Martin bird houses are shaped to resemble natural gourds. Although only a couple of Martins can occupy a single pumpkin, that hang in clusters, thereby providing the birds a chance to establish a colony.

2) They enjoy being high. I came up with this word game picturesque rather quickly, I hope that helps explain his dubious taste. Purple Martins like to be, literally, high, as in "high in the sky" wisely and avoid drug use.

3) They eat organic food. Purple Martins feed exclusively on insects, which are, of course, organic. I would point out emphatically that the use of chemical pesticides, which are not organic, they can travel up the food chain and endangering the health of birds and other animals including humans. Please try to find natural methods, organic pest control.

4) Two words: "Road Trip" Revolutionaries and hippies alike have long migrated to South America for love, adventure, or seclusion. Purple Martins to go for warm weather and the ease of finding good food while it is winter in the northern hemisphere, so in that sense, are more like New Yorkers who retired finches Snow in Florida.

5) They have difficulty dealing with bullies. (And you thought you were coming to the latter!) Purple Martins is beaten and sometimes expelled from their homes by more aggressive species like English sparrows and European starlings. The most effective method of controlling nuisance birds is capture or shoot them. (For human control thugs, one should refer to competent authorities such as the capture and shooting is a bit excessive.) If you are a homeowner Purple martin new or future, but do not dare to kill the pest species, rest easy. Using non-lethal tactics, like the wings and tail clipping can mitigate the problem as enough to keep a small colony, although the growth ceiling of the colony will be set a bit low compared with the colonies of starlings and sparrows are eliminated. That does not mean that it is a futile effort - a small settlement is better than no colonies. Whatever method you choose, just make sure it is active protection of their home aviary Martin invasive species.

To be sure, there are many aspects that purple martins are diametrically opposed to my imaginary hippie, caricatured. Purple Martins is strong, conscious, and very agile. His acrobatic energy are the main reason many people buy their first Purple Martin birdhouse. Meanwhile, my hippie friend does not even bother to find a job. How did you pay for your Beetle, never know.

Purple martins exhibit good hygiene. The plumage of Martin retains its luster, because feathers are clean and well managed. In addition, Purple Martins do not do their "business" in which they live. In fact, they may even carry the bags of feces their young several hundred meters away from your home. This is mainly to avoid attracting predators of nests and for purposes of hygiene, but in any case, a healthy habit.

These days rarely seen in its own right, hippie card as described herein. By contrast, the populations of purple Martin has increased over the past 20 to 30 years. This is due to the efforts of many good people have been Martin birdhouses purple, defended the pest species, and built a prolific Martin vibrant purple colonies. Purple martins depend almost exclusively of humans to provide their homes. The rehabilitation of the species has come a long way, but there is still much need for action.

The aim of this paper is to address a serious issue from a humorous perspective (even if only a little less). Biodiversity is essential to the health of the environment - from content, local ecosystems, the macroscopic nature, interconnected, well, nature. It is imperative that we begin to take a management position responsible for maintaining the delicate balance which, in turn, preserve us.
