VANCOUVER -- An environmental group in Sooke spent part of its weekend creating custom homes for a threatened bird population. Members of the Wild Wise Society set up about a dozen Purple Martin boxes at the Sooke pier Saturday afternoon. The custom design allows the Purple Martins to squeeze into their new homes through a tiny slit in the bottom of each box. “It does prevent other birds and predators from getting into the boxes, but the Purple Martins are able to flatten themselves and kind of squish their way into the boxes,” said Wild Wise Society president Sam Webb.
