A birdhouse for purple martins comprising a tubular enclosure having within a plurality of vertically stacked floors secured to at least one vertical partition forming at least two nesting compartments per tier, each compartment having an opening and a perch. Several enclosures are secured together by a hollow post having a vertical series of hooks mounted thereon to correspond to vertical series of brackets mounted to the back of the enclosure. The birdhouses are suspended from a pole high above the ground via a pulley system. The partition and the floors can be removed for easy cleaning by sliding out either the top or bottom of the enclosure. Alternatively, the birdhouse may be constructed by vertically stacking a series of identical interlocking units topped with a roof, wherein the nesting compartments are situated radially about a central opening which is adapted to slide axially onto a mounting sleeve.
