Coates Purple Martin House Features
Purple Martins are the largest member of the swallow
family in North America. The adult male's color is blue-black, while the
female's and sub adult is gray. They are typically eight inches long and have a
wing span of twelve inches. The numerous audible sounds made by the martin are
very pleasant to humans.
|
Purple Martins can fly at a speed
of 45 mph, without wind, but have been clocked at 60 mph with the warm
southerly wind behind them. The aerial antics of the martin have been a
source of amazement for those who have observed them in
flight. |
The average life expectancy is five to
seven years, with at least one reported case of a banded bird found near Dallas,
Texas that lived 13 years and 9 months. (July 1933 - Spring 1947)
Martins diet almost exclusively on
flying insects, but, occasionally eat crushed eggshells when scattered near the
nesting area during nesting season. The eggshells provide the necessary calcium
for production of the martin eggs. Many believe that one bird can eat as many as
2000 pesky insects including mosquitos per day. The birds are very clean and
will take their own fledglings' waste away from the nesting area for
disposal.
The purple martin is very friendly to
humans, and usually sit and watch people work close to them. Martins can be tame
enough to light on the shoulders of persons who have handled them at an early
age. Usually, more of them will be present where there is plenty of human
activity.
