Any of these martins planning on hitting the south Texas coast?

The right handyman will do it all day long.

Where do you buy them, I decided to go ahead and use them for now?

Lol, you want somebody to reduce their colony growing too start yours? If you have a good setup, their growing colony will help get yours started.

Feed it rat birds!!!

South Florida, January 1st.

It’ll leave my house for neighborhood cat!!!

I’m gonna give them a try. I have my clingers if I have issues. I don’t have any tunnels. The Conley plates sure do give the doors a clean look. I also have eight gourds going on the house.

Thanks for all the great information. Has anyone had a starling get through a plate yet?

I have Conley II plates on all my cavities and I have never had a wing enrapment in 20 years. I do now have the Conley II with the anti wing entrapment guards.

Do they make a guard for the Conley?

I’d do 445 or 630, beautiful place you have.
Good luck!!!

Thanks Dave. I just bought a Troyer T14, to replace the pine one I made ten years ago. They only offered the Conley II or round holes, not sure why anybody would offer round holes these days. I started my colony with Clinger entrances, and have never had a breach, I did add the entrapment plastic pi...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if any of you have experienced wing entrapment with the Conley II plates?
Thank you

Generally 4ft. off the ground, the top needs sealed also. I had a rat climb my cable year before last. A cat or other predators will jump on top of your guard that low.

Sure will. See you then!!!

What time is good tomorrow?

It’s not working. Can a Admin jump in and help us?

Didn’t see a notification.

Anytime pretty much, just let me know.

I live in Round Rock TX.

I have eight, brand new Bo 9, with porches, cooling caps, and clinger entrances. Moving to Colorado!!!
