Create a haven for Purple Martins to colonize in your yard!
Complete Purple Martin 4 Over 4 Gourd Pole Package includes Heritage Farms 14 ft. Aluminum Pole with 8 Gourds!
Heritage Farms 14 ft. Aluminum Pole with 8 Gourds 4 Over 4 - Build a haven for martins in your open area with the 4 Over 4 Aluminum Pole for 8 Gourds. Placing a gourd rack in your garden invites migratory martins to roost in the area, helping scouts and juveniles establish a new colony or increasing nesting sites in an existing one. The 4 sections of this striking, aluminum pole connect together easily thanks to swaged ends, while an included ground socket provides stability and anchors the unit. Predrilled holes on the top section accommodate the included, 20" long rods, and these are oriented in dual X designs for holding up to 8 gourds (included) with ease. Rubber washers keep these rods snugly in place within the pole, and additional washers and pins place the gourds at the end of each arm for plenty of flight clearance. A plastic cap covers the pole, preventing rain from pooling inside it, while the all aluminum body will not rust. The plastic socket also withstands use for several seasons, and allows you to remove the pole from the yard for maintenance, mowing, and during winter once the birds have migrated. The lightweight aluminum body makes the pole easy to assemble and maneuver, and its gray tone offers a traditional look. Turn existing purple martin gourds into a new colony by placing them on the 4 Over 4 Aluminum Pole with 8 Gourds. Assembly required.

Set of 8 Heritage Farms Purple Martin Gourds Included!
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. Readily suspend this gourd using its integrated top loop; it can either be placed below an existing house, or situated on a gourd rack system for a different look. Its molded, plastic body is simple to maintain and clean for use again and again, while offering lasting shelter to your feathered friends. Increase the nesting options for your martin colony with this Single Purple Martin Gourd.
