Birds, many-many relatively small birds. Everywhere. With houses all over the town. You’d think this is strange and that you want to run as far away and as soon as possible, right?

Yeah, you know we like interesting facts and stories from all over the world. Let’s see what’s the story of Griggsville.
It all started round ‘60 when pesticides were banned. In Griggsville there were many mosquitoes. People suffered mosquitoes bytes on a daily basis.
Someone discovered that this town is located on the “travel road”of the purple martins. What’s so special about this birds is that they feed almost entirely on… yes, you guessed, mosquitoes!
Now, the birds are not much of building shelters specialists, so people had to help. And boy, did they build some houses. Many, many houses for birds. All over the town.
But the final result made it all worth it. People can live in this town without being constantly bitten by mosquitoes.
