Anyone else have martin houses

Told my wife we needed to get the houses up sunday and as we were carrying them out, 2 showed up and waited for us to get them up.

In one day, we had 5 show up.

We added a couple more houses this year and hopefully the offspring will live and stay around. (alot died from the heat last year)

Good thing we didn't wait.

Those are some nice houses.

 

My next door neighbor did when I was a kid. Shot many of those martins as a kid with my bb gun until my dad saw me one day.

 

Could you hit them flying?

 

No. But they did land from time to time. I thought the neighbor put up those houses and feeders for shooting pleasure. I was wrong lol.

 

Those suckers sure are mean though. "Choot em!"

 

Ok, apparently no one else has martin houses. :D

I think the birds that showed up were just scouts because I think they left today.


I did have a friend that shot black birds with a bb gun while flying when he was a kid. He later became a sniper. There was a trick to it.
