BTW, code does not allow purple martin houses in residential applications, it must be a wren house.
I inquired about a retirement community in the Dallas area years back and in their latest newsletter this restriction arose. a couple of old biddies were golfing and noticed a bird house that did not meet HOA requirements. No bird houses over 8 (or whatever) ft up unless in a tree or under an eave. the response was that since there was an endemic/pandemic whatever of some disease caused by mosquitoes and since martins were the best hunter of them and required their house to be 11 ft(?) off the ground they basically said to MYOB. Just one of the silly nonsense that those officers of a HOA can implement.
just saw on the news that one HOA was fining residents $200 if their grass was not kept green enough and that was in an area with a severe drought. :s
