Product Description

Ravenox Purple Martin Vertical Gourd with Starling-Resistant Entrance Hole

Durable: Ravenox Gourds are blow-molded in white (sun-reflecting), opaque, high-density polyethylene plastic. They won’t rot, peel, split, or crack out in the elements, and won’t break if accidentally dropped like natural gourds can. Because they are molded with ultraviolet inhibitors added to the plastic, they have a long life expectancy with virtually no maintenance other than giving a quick scrub at the end of the season. The tunnel is injection-molded using opaque UV-inhibited plastic.

Easy to Hang: Ravenox Gourds can easily be hung underneath an existing martin house or from an any of the many Ravenox gourd racks available. No Need to drill a hanging hole, they come pre-drilled with a 3/8″ hanging-hole. Landlords will need to assemble the tunnel on to the molded-in collar on the gourd.

Landlord Friendly: Ravenox Gourds are low-to-no maintenance martin housing; no sanding or painting, and nothing to add except stick-on numbers. Everything a person needs to be a better landlord is already there. Balance the cost of a Ravenox Gourd against the years of low-maintenance use you’ll get and the advantages for the martins. Then compare the occupancy rate and cost to other types of housing that have, at best, 50% occupancy, or that require annual repainting.

Easy Parasite Control: Nest parasites can decrease nesting success in Purple Martins by 50%. In a Ravenox Gourd, any parasite problem can be remedied simply and safely with a nest replacement. The access port and smooth interior make this easy. Ravenox Gourds have no seams, joints, or crevices in which parasites can hide, breed, or overwinter. No other type of martin housing can claim this advantage.

Ravenox Vertical Gourds are available in a variety of quantities. This listing is for the Vertical Gourd with Starling-Resistant Entrance Hole designed to prevent cavity entry by all but the smallest of cavity-stealing European Starlings.

We’ve thought through the small details to provide peace of mind and confidence while mastering each twist and turn. Now, it’s up to you. Easy Assembly.

Designed to Benefit Purple Martins

The Ravenox Vertical Gourd reduces the risk of owl predation, due to its overall length of 13″. The tunnel is trap-compatible for trapping House Sparrows with the optional Troyer-Haskell Tunnel Trap (THTT). The extra-wide porch on the gourds give martins a place to lounge in the sun and the inner tunnels have a wing-entrapment guard and traction tread. Each gourd has an additional perch area with traction on the tunnel and comes with a pre-drilled 3/8”, front-to-back hanging hole. Gourds have high occupancy rates, plus reduce the incidence of fallouts and premature fledgling. Now, busy landlords can offer their martins all the advantages of properly-prepared gourds, without investing the time and effort required to grow natural gourds, then add access doors and canopies, or repaint them every year or so.

Migration Map

Purple Martins migrate annually from South America to North America in the spring to breed. Spring migration is somewhat staggered, with arrivals in southern areas such as Florida and Texas in January, but showing up in the northern United States in April and in Canada as late as May. Males usually arrive at a site before females.

Purple Martins are 100% dependent on humans for their housing needs. Even before the Purple Martin population crash, Native Americans hollowed out gourds to house these native birds.

Purple martins are very vocal, chirping and making sounds that have been described as chortles, rattles, and croaks. They are insectivores and are known to eat mosquitoes and invasive fire ants.

It’s important to have your gourds and housing set up prior to the arrival of the first scouts. Purple Martins exhibit site fidelity which means that as long as they had a successful breeding season the year before they will return to that same nesting site.

Protect an Endangered Species

Purple Martins once gathered by the thousands, but today they are nearly extinct. Help protect them and the environment. They are known for their speed and agility in flight, and when approaching their housing, will dive from the sky at great speeds with their wings tucked.

Easy to Hang and Install

Ravenox Gourds can easily be hung underneath an existing martin house or from an any of the many Ravenox gourd racks available. No Need to drill a hanging hole, they come pre-drilled with a 3/8″ hanging-hole. Landlords will need to assemble the tunnel on to the molded-in collar on the gourd.

Premium Gourds That Last for Years

Ravenox Gourds are blow-molded in white (sun-reflecting), opaque, high-density polyethylene plastic. They won’t rot, peel, split, or crack out in the elements, and won’t break if accidentally dropped like natural gourds can. Made in the USA.

Trouble-Free Nest Checks

The Purple Martin Deluxe Gourd Kit easily lowers and rises without turning, while doing nest checks. Remove the high-density polyethylene plastic unpainted caps to check your bird nests without disturbing your colony.
