The Purple Martin Society, NA

 

From Purple Martin Society member, Ron Seekamp of Fridley, MN

"During the summer of ‘98, I had the opportunity to modify a Trio Purple Martin House for a good friend of mine. He had inherited two martin houses from his father-in-law. Both houses were TG-12s, but one was in such bad shape that we decided to make one good house from the two. In the process of rebuilding this house, I added adjustable crescent-shaped starling-resistant entrances."

In the process of helping a friend, Ron grew proficient in making the Seekamp Adjustable Door. In order to help other martin landlords in the interest, Ron makes this service available to those who would like to change their present round-hole doors with the crescent shaped starling-resistant entrance.

If you are interested in modifying your Trio Martin House doors with adjustable starling-resistant, half moon (crescent-shaped) holes as pictured, here is the information.
