Purple martins are completely dependent on humans for nesting boxes. Martins will travel hundreds of miles to return to their nesting boxes as long as they are kept up properly.

yes or no and why is it endangered The purple martin is not an endangered species, and its habitat is still quite good.
Purple martins are fairly noisy, chirping and making sounds that have been described as chortles, rattles, and croaks.
Contrary to popular belief, the thought that Purple Martins reduce mosquito population was brought up to promote the products that went along with the birds such as housing, and gourds. http://www.purplemartin.org/update/MosCont.html is research that was conducted to back it up. But don't get me wrong, Martins have many advantages. Just hearing that beautiful song they produce makes it worthwhile to attract Martins to your backyard.
Purple Martins typically have clutches of 3 to 7 eggs, although the average is usually around 4 to 5 eggs. The female incubates the eggs for about 15 to 18 days before they hatch. After hatching, the chicks are altricial, meaning they are dependent on their parents for food and care until they fledge, which occurs about 26 to 32 days after hatching.
Purple martins were initially though to be closely related to European House Martins due to their forked tail, but they are only distantly related, is one though. Another theory is that they were named after the Roman god of war "Mars" and the "tin" or "ten" is a pet name...so basically "little mars" either due to their tenacity in chasing off predators or perhaps as Mars refers to the first month of the calendar, when the first martins start to return. The Purple part is a misnomer since they are really a deep blue-not purple.
Baby purple martins primarily eat insects, which are caught and brought back to the nest by their parents. Their diet includes various flying insects such as beetles, moths, and flies. As they grow, the parents gradually introduce a wider variety of insects to ensure the chicks receive adequate nutrition for their development.
