There are more than 20 strategically placed towers with 24 nest compartments for the Purple Martins from EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and beyond. Dr. Mark Penning shared all about these birds and their homes at Disney World on Instagram:

“Have you noticed these interesting white structures across Walt Disney World Resort? They’re bird houses for purple martins!

We have more than 20 strategically placed towers with 24 nest compartments for our purple feathered friends, from EPCOT to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and beyond. Every spring, this migratory species travels over 3,000 miles from Brazil to build their nests and start their families at the most magical place on earth! ✨ 🐣

Thanks to innovative research using GPS technology, Disney Conservation Team Wildlife knows these birds prefer bird houses to nests. This year, a tower was moved to our Team Disney office building. Adding a new location makes it even easier for purple martins to hatch chicks before flying south again for the winter.”

Next time you visit Disney World, be on the lookout for these bird houses and see if you can spot a Purple Martin or two!
