A classic American barn silhouette. And a colony management pedigree built on the same S\u0026amp;K engineering that serious Purple Martin landlords have trusted for decades. The Countryside Condo brings the unmistakable aesthetic of the working farmstead to your colony program — crescent SREH entrances that physically exclude European Starlings, convertible hole geometry on the upper four apartments for landlords managing colonies accustomed to the traditional round configuration, and a flexible room design that lets you tailor compartment depth to your colony's needs. Built from UV-stabilized copolymer plastic in the USA by Scenic Rivers Industries, this is the purple martin nesting box for the landlord who wants maximum colony capacity without sacrificing the character of the landscape they've built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStarling-Resistant Crescent Entrance Holes (SREH):\u003c\/strong\u003e Each compartment features a precision crescent-shaped opening measuring 3\"W x 1.125\"H — dimensioned to admit Purple Martins comfortably while physically preventing the larger body profile of European Starlings from gaining entry.
