Hi guys, every year I have the GCF looking for a spot in my martin
colony but there is no room for them. I was considering placing a solitary gourd near my tree line about 10 feet high to attack them next season.
My question is will the GCF fit thru a conley-2 or extruder entrance. I would want to keep the starlings away and I do not want to waste my time with a larger entrance.
Thanks, Joe

I like this idea, and appreciate the blip in the PM update re housing for GCFs. Maybe I will try this next year. Martins or not.
