Help purple martins colonize your bird garden in wonderful and sleek style with the help of this S&K Bo Eleven Plus Purple Martin Gourd. This expansive, white plastic unit provides a cool dwelling that won't overheat, and sports plentiful features meant to make life easier and more comfortable for martins as they populate your outdoor space. The generous gourd provides a 9" deep nesting chamber to accommodate plenty of martin activity, and the convenient, dual entry setup gives you the option between a round or starling-resistant, crescent entrance. A 3.5" long porch snaps easily into place just beneath the gourd entrance, giving ample perching and landing space as martins arrive at the unit, while the textured, non-slip, darkened interior provides a comfortable and easy space for these birds to congregate without losing their grip. The handy hanger top turns easily, allowing you to orient the item however you wish without being dependent on the position of your racking system (not included) to determine your gourd's direction, while the 5" x 4" oval access port lets you easily inspect the nesting chamber and ensures easy maintenance. A cap is included to cover this port when birds are nesting and you wish to keep it shut. The interior's "dry nest" drainage system helps keep the home fresh and clean, with gaps in the gourd's bottom making sure no accumulated moisture spoils the home. Optional door plugs allow you to cover the entrances, letting you turn them into a 1.5" diameter entry hole suitable for bluebirds, and a 2.25"L x 0.875"H oval entrance for sparrows, while the hardy, UV-protected, molded plastic construction lets you enjoy this martin abode for multiple seasons of reliable service.
