Upgrade your purple martin sanctuary and give martins a handy, safe spot to colonize with this S&K Bo Axis Purple Martin Gourd with Tunnel. This spacious, durable gourd is a hardy and convenient way to provide shelter to lovely purple martins, with this expansive, one-piece body lending versatility to your colony. The combo unit lets you orient the gourd vertically or horizontally, with an extended tunnel and porch included to create an elongated and safe entrance with plenty of perching space; this 6.5" long piece makes a 2.25" long and 1.125" tall, crescent shaped opening over either the horizontal or vertical end and creates a protective tunnel around the opening to guard against unwanted pests. The included landing platform can be attached in front of the entry and has an easy grip texture for martins. A helpful cap can be removed from whichever entrance you wish to cover with the tunnel and then placed over the other end for a convenient and variable accessory. This molded plastic item is a sizable and generous 9" in diameter, with ample interior space for martins in need of a respite, and the cool, white tone of the item's rough exterior helps moderate the temperature of the shelter during hot days. The crescent-style entry is specifically designed to keep harmful starlings away from the nest, and raised patterns along the neck of the gourd create a helpful grip as martins navigate the exterior of the unit. A handy 4" diameter access port lets you easily perform cleanings and observe the colony, and a threaded cap here makes coverage simple when you wish to keep the opening closed. Hang this fantastic martin gourd in your bird sanctuary to form a vibrant and lively locale that will cater to the needs of these charming birds. Create a luxurious and convenient purple martin nesting site in your backyard using the versatile and intuitive Bo Axis Purple Martin Gourd with Tunnel. Made in the USA.
