Troyer Horizontal Gourd 2" Round Entrance

A durable, low-maintenance Purple Martin gourd designed with both martins and landlords in mind.

The Troyer Horizontal Gourd combines the benefits of a traditional horizontal gourd with the durability and convenience of modern molded construction. The horizontal design gives Purple Martins a spacious nesting cavity, while the wide porch and Troyer Tunnel entrance provided a comfortable transition between the outside perch area and the nesting chamber. Unlike natural gourds, Troyer Gourds won't rot, peel, split, or crack-and they require very little maintenance.

Designed for Purple Martins

The Troyer Horizontal Gourd combines several features designed to make it a comfortable and practical home for Purple Martins:

2" Round-hole entrance.
Super-wide porch gives martins plenty of room at the entrance.
Traction tread provides additional footing for birds entering and leaving the gourd.
18-inch overall length provides a deep nesting cavity and may help reduce the risk of owl predation.
Molded-in collar makes attaching the Troyer Tunnel simple.
Pre-drilled 3/8-inch hanging hole makes the gourd easy to install.

Built for Years of Outdoor Use

Troyer Gourds are blow-molded from white, opaque, high density polyethylene with UV inhibitors added to the plastic. This durable construction is designed to withstand outdoor conditions with the rot, peeling, splitting, or cracking associated with natural gourds.
The Troyer Tunnel is also made from UV-inhibited plastic.
When the season is over, the gourd can simply be cleaned and prepared for the next season.
