Additional comments from Anita: "[Those that want to start a colony] can also go to Tractor Supply and Atwoods and purchase less expensive housing but tell them to stay away from Heath products. They are not very well made and Martins don’t do well in this brand of houses or gourds."

Thank you Anita!!!
