Heritage Farms Purple Martin Gourd - Bring a nature-inspired, time tested shelter to your bird garden with the Heritage Farms Single Purple Martin Gourd. Dried, hollowed gourds were successfully used in centuries past as housing for migratory purple martins, and the extended neck and rounded body of this roost perfectly evokes this shape. Alternating raised and impressed elements at the flared end of the neck lend fantastic texture and a natural appeal to this piece, while a 2.125" diameter entry hole provides safe passage for martins. This leads to a 6.25" diameter, interior nesting area, deep enough for birds to place eggs near the back, away from predators. A drainage hole on the slightly flattened base helps the home and compartment remain dry, while the beige tone keeps fledglings cool in the summer.
