They have fairly long tails. Sighted in my front yard in west portland or. Both male and female had beaks full of grubs and insects and flew away together(probably to feed young)

attracting purple martin and violet-green swallows?
i’d like to hear from anyone in Washington Oregon area who is trying to attract these birds to reduce the insects for their horses. Particularly flies and mosquitoes. I saw 8 and 10 room swallow houses for about $100.00.
but the martin houses were $30.00 for only one nest box.
Any cheaper ways??

meal worms?
Can meal worms be frozen then unthawed to feed to insect eating wild birds when weather is too bad to support insects for their food?

What do you think of somebody that respects all living things, even insects?
I’m so weird, I save all little things, such as insects, small birds that I feed with my mouth and I want to pick –up all street animals. My dream is, to live on a farm and have lots and lots of animals, pigs, ducks, horses, sheep, cows and chickens and much more! I have the greatest respect for plants! So weird! I even save ants…
