As shared via Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook page: “Love is in the air and so are purple martins! Did you know its nesting season for these migratory birds? Arriving on the fly over the past month, February typically signals it’s time for these “love birds” to find a mate and Cast Members like Dr. Jason Fischer are ready to help set them up for success. You could go as far as calling these Cast “wingmen” for these colonial nesters — as they have recently completed setting up all white gourd birdhouses which the male purple martins will build a nest for their valentine in. To learn more about the purple martins, visit DisneyAnimals.com.”

We love it! Way to go Cast Members for giving these stunning birds a place to call home. We can’t but wonder if we’ll get any photo updates of Purple Martin babies!
