2 Piece Purple Martin Gourds
Increase the housing options for martins in your backyard using these Heath Two-Piece Martin Gourds with Crescent Starling Resistant Entrance Holes. Offering gourds, as well as traditional housing, helps martins find a great roost, while bringing wonderful variety to your backyard. The front and back section of each gourd interlocks, and an included screw keeps each unit securely assembled. The rounded base of each gourd forms a 7" diameter nesting area, while the crescent-shaped entry deters larger birds from using the unit. For added versatility, perforations under each crescent opening allow you to remove the bottom, plastic shield, and offer martins a 2.125" diameter, round entry instead. A plastic canopy above the entry directs rain away from the nest, and two slots on the base of each item offer drainage for any captured water. The off white color of each gourd helps the internal temperature remain cool during warm summer days, while also evoking natural gourds used in times past. A hole at the top of each gourd allows you to securely display these units on a rack (not included) or beneath your existing martin house (not included). The plastic body withstands use for many seasons, and the two-piece construction makes cleaning simple. Offer martins more housing choices with these Two-Piece Martin Gourds with Crescent Starling Resistant Entrance Holes. Assembly required. Made in the USA.
