There are many different types
of martin
house and gourds. So if
your dilemma is, "what kind of
purple martin bird
house or gourd rack should
I get?" then consider these
combo deals or all inclusive
packages that make your
decision easy. These packages
include the purple martin pole
and a choice of martin housing
options. All that is left is
for you to install it in the
ground.
The plastic, purple martin
gourds we carry will last
a lifetime, will not rot
(like a natural gourd)
and are very easy to clean and
offer the latest innovations
in housing purple
martins including starling
resistant entrances, access
ports (to view young and
for cleaning out) just to
name a few. Beware of some of
the cheap plastic gourds that
you will find at the
hardware/home improvement
stores or on other websites.
These gourds can be very thin
and also become translucent
over time, or without access
ports, be very hard to clean.
All the gourds
that we sell are of a very
thick plastic that will not
degrade in the sun.
