Thanks PM Tom. It brought quite a few tears to my eyes. It was such a horrible sight for me. Marcus. Thanks for your comment as well. I'm hoping they come back with friends. I've tried for so long. Matt. I modified a lot of my old gourds with tunnel entrances many years ago. As you mentioned, I'm pretty sure they did not have wing entrapment guards on them. The old S and K gourd that the birds nested in was modified as well with the tunnel entrance. I'm hoping that I can buy small protectors to add to it. I will look when I get a chance. otherwise, I will change them all out as I can't stand the thought of that happening again. Thanks again to all. Rob
