Increase your chances of attracting these elusive swallows by deploying some of these life-sized (7 inch long), highly-detailed, Purple Martin decoys! Thousands of people attempt to attract these charming, gregarious swallows to their backyards every year, but only a fraction are successful. Establishing a new colony site is often difficult, because Purple Martins are social or colonial nesters; they 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. Decoys are thought
to be especially effective when used in combination with martin vocalization
tapes. These decoys are being eagerly sought by people wishing to do
everything possible to enhance their chances of establishing a colony of Purple
Martins. These decoys are 7 inches long and molded in very dark blue HDPE plastic. They were adapted from on an original
Purple Martin carving by a World Class bird carver. These
decoys come with instructions and all hardware necessary for mounting on a
variety of different types of housing.
