Product Description
Purple Martin Decoy #PMD-1 - Increase your chances of attracting purple martins by deploying some of these life-sized, highly-detailed, purple martin decoys. Establishing a new colony is often difficult because purple martins are social or colonial nesters. Martins prefer the company of other martins and are reluctant to be the first to settle at a new site. Decoys are believed to increase the chances of attracting breeding purple martins by helping to create the illusion of genuine colony-site activity, giving investigating martins the confidence to stay and nest. These decoys come with instructions and all hardware necessary for mounting on a variety of different types of housing including gourds and traditional wood and aluminum martin houses.

Product arrived on schedule. Initial quality appeared good. Only problem was the spacer(included)wasn't thick enough inside the mounting clamp to hold the the decoy upright on my bird house. I did however use a small piece of fuel line hose to compensate for thickness. I would buy from this seller again.

These look great but as another reviewer noted, the spacer(s) included may not be enough to secure properly to your perch. I used a tiny piece of old garden hose to secure my two decoys.

I purchased 2 of these decoys/lures for my dad for Christmas who is a purple martin enthusiast....they were a hit! In fact, he has already "perched" them on one of the purple martin bird houses, a gourd, to see what they will look like when they get put back outside this spring/summer for the long awaited yearly return arrival of the purple martins that he loves so much! This was a nice product & it will be fun to see if they actually "work" to lure more martins back for summer. :)
