Now, if we can just get people who want to protect bluebirds to be more aggressive. Meaning, there are still people who just won't accept that starlings/house sparrows are the very worst enemies of our native species. They expect to just "shoo away" these flying pestilence, when it actually takes destroying these "birds" to alleviate the problem. I won't waste my time "shooing". I eradicate so I can get on with my life, and don't have to worry about them anymore.
IF YOU THINK THIS IS A LOT. LOOK INTO MY GRANDFATHER LOWELL FIEDLER. HAS BIG CANTILEVER POLES THAT GO 30 FEET IN THE AIR over 60 houses with 25 or less holes on each house and over 200 Gourds well over 1000 holes..... washington illinois. ive got evidence. u just have to see his backyard. im 19 years old and hes been doing martins for over 50 years now. hes teaching me everything and how to build the houses and everything he knows. you just have to see it!
@hatchboy1 don't worry ill post a video! when i get my next pay check to get a camera... ive been dieing to show everyone.............. we had some of the finest amish people in america come to our valley......... they about cried..
The handful of nest parasites is not something from kenny's colony. They added that shot later - the narrator mentions nest mites but what they show is a handful of ticks instead. You would never find ticks in a martin nest like that. Nest mites are very tiny, and won't bite people.
i love this video i put up some gourds last year and got 5 pairs lots of babies fledged but i noticed some werent able to fly good because of nest mites made them fledge early this year i designed a gourd rack that raises and lowers to do nest checks!
Wow Bob, maybe you should share with us the gourd curing, what kind of gourd and stuff like that. My Martin house was near $500. But what a delight, this year we finally scored three couple. It's an amazing thing to hear these couples talk to each other. PS we had to lower the rent and throw one month in free, but they finally came. God bless you and God bless them.
well like they say they need people to help them if they live east of the rockies but i do this all the time with my dad we actully do this every 2 weeks but the birds know we are helping
