Purple Martin Gourds, The Sky Pod II

Give your martins a serious upgrade with the Sky Pod II, a premium 12-pack of SuperGourds featuring crescent starling-resistant entries and porches for extra perching comfort. Designed with over 20 years of breeding biology research behind them, these USA-made gourds are built for superior fledgling success, safety, and durability.

Each one-piece gourd is molded from UV-inhibited, high-density polyethylene that resists rotting, cracking, peeling, and splitting, even when dropped. The seamless white body reflects heat to keep nestlings cool, while a molded rain canopy shields the 3" wide x 1.125" high crescent entry. Raised lines on the canopy and included interior/exterior porches offer Martins extra room to land, perch, and preen.

The angled side-access port allows for easy nest checks and maintenance, sealed with a threaded cap when not in use. Seven drainage holes on the bottom help shed water fast, keeping interiors dry. Plus, the slightly weighted construction helps reduce swing in the wind.

Mount them easily using the 1/4" holes in the cleanout panel axis or drill your own to fit your rack system (pole and hanging rack not included).

• These 12 rugged, plastic gourds were engineered based on 20 years of research into the breeding biology of purple martins.
• This research found that purple martins have higher fledgling rates in large, white gourds than they do in typical aluminum martin houses, and this package will certainly meet the needs of these birds.
• The one-piece, plastic body has no seams for protection from the elements, as well as a molded rain canopy above the 3" wide and 1.125" tall, crescent starling-resistant entry.
• Raised lines on this canopy double as perching areas, and included porches attach to the interior and exterior of each for extra standing spots.
• Seven drainage holes on the base of the gourds allow any captured water to exit rapidly, ensuring nestlings remain dry and safe.
• An access port on the side of each unit is large enough for a human hand to reach into the nest for easy monitoring and maintenance, and its 45° angle creates a great perspective for viewing.
• Use the threaded caps to cover these sections, keeping the gourds enclosed for nestlings.
• Their high-density, polyethylene plastic body forms a relatively heavy gourd for less swinging in the wind, and their white color reflects sunlight, keeping the interior cool.
• These gourds will not rot, peel, split, or crack, nor will they break if accidentally dropped, and the UV inhibitors in the molded plastic body ensure a long life expectancy.
• A thorough scrubbing at the end of the season should be all you need to maintain your SuperGourds.
• Use a rod through the 1/4" holes on the cleanout panel axis to place the homes on a hanger or rack, or enlarge or drill your own holes to hang them with the entries facing outward.
• The specific design and robust construction make these roosts some of the best available today.

Whether you're expanding your existing setup or starting strong, the Sky Pod II offers pro-level performance in one smart, gourd-packed bundle.
