Purple Martin Gourd for Birdwatchers

This Deluxe Purple Martin Gourd is designed to help you attract and accommodate martins in your garden. Crafted from hardy, molded plastic, this unit boasts an array of features that ensure martins have a comfortable and durable roosting spot. The generous, 9" deep chamber provides these birds with ample nesting area, which they can access through the crescent-shaped, starling-resistant entry. Extending from this opening is a spacious landing platform, featuring a textured finish that mimics cobblestone to allow the birds to grip it easily. This porch also creates an inside landing for the martins.

Atop the front opening, a molded, peaked roof prevents rain from entering the structure, while holes at the base of the unit help keep the nest dry. For easy nest checks and maintenance, the gourd features a side, threaded access port with a screw-on cap. Furthermore, the beige color of the interior helps to keep the nesting area cool.

At the top of the gourd, predrilled holes accommodate a 3/8" diameter hanging rod, allowing you to orient the item in two different ways for versatility. The sturdy, all-plastic construction ensures the Deluxe Purple Martin Gourd remains durable, even as its innovative features benefit the martins.

With dimensions of 16"L x 9.5"W x 14"H and an entry measuring 3"W x 1.25"H, this unit provides a comfortable and secure home for martins, helping you establish a thriving colony in your garden. Its convenient design and thoughtful features make it an excellent choice for adding martin housing to your bird-friendly landscape.

In summary, the Deluxe Purple Martin Gourd is a comprehensive solution for attracting and supporting martins in your garden.
