Purple Martins
Thousands of years ago, Purple martins used to nest in trees. But they've been using houses provided by people for countless generations. Native Americans began the tradition that birds and humans still enjoy.
Even today, in eastern North America Purple Martins nest only in housing provided by humans. It is a pattern of reciprocity that connects us to the natural world. Here are tools to help us carry on this wonderful human traditions.

However, the actual cost of shipping will be deducted from the refund you receive. The manufacturer also charges a 20% restocking fee, which would also be deducted from any refund.
