Cottam Hargrave designed and constructed a birdhive for purple martins with maximum adaptability.  Six stacked units are secured by two custom four-foot bolts that connect the top unit to the bottom unit.  After unfastening the bolts, the modular units can be re-arranged so that the openings face different orientations allowing for service accessibility.  The birdhive is composed of reclaimed long leaf pine and scrap mild steel.  We can build a pivoting mast to meet the specific requirements of the owner.
