I am looking for a cresent entrance. Cant find very much info on this unit or parts. Purchase this used Heritage Farms Quad Pod and one of the pods is missing an entrance. Also, any info on how the cable attaches to the pod sleeve would be great. Thank you. Chad

It doesn't look like anyone replied to this, but I just got a new heritage farms unit and can help. I can also 3D print new entrances too if you still need them.

Manage FILs colony & public park colony. Attempting to start a colony at a wildlife refuge.

~20 years of providing housing for cavity nesting birds including Bluebirds, Carolina Wrens, House Wrens, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, Great-Crested Flycatchers, Northern Flickers, & Prothonotary Warblers.

I have no idea what happened to this company. All of the info on the internet appears to be out of date. You could try contacting one of the companies that sell their products to ask if they carry replacement parts, know where you can purchase replacement parts, or can give you the manufacturer's current contact info.

If you can't locate replacement parts the PMCA sells SREH plates in both aluminum and plastic — https://www.purplemartin.org/shop/63/re ... nt-plates/

Here is the portion of the instructions for pod housing.
