2 piece gourd design makes cleaning easier and, because of its neutral color (almond), and the plastic construction, it reduces heat build up in the summer months and also has a longer life than natural gourds. Features a molded rain drip guard that sheds water around the entrance hole without detracting from the appearance of a natural gourd; drainage slots in the bottom help prevent water build up. 2 halves snap together and are secured by a single screw. Starling deterrent makes the opening only big enough for martins to enter and exit. 8 gourds per pack.
