The gourds develop a rounded oval base with a narrower upper section, making them ideal for creating birdhouses, especially Martin birdhouses. When fully matured and properly dried, the tan-colored shells can be hollowed, painted, and used for outdoor crafts and bird shelters.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"eg-badges\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eBirdhouse Gourds\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eHard-Shell Fruits\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eCrafting Gourds\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"eg-badge\"\u003eClimbing Vines\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 2.
