Pmca sells them . Best selection can be found at Entrances by Sandy.

I couldn't find them on the PMCA site, any suggestions on the ones at Entrances by Sandy? And thanks for that tip.

Rhonda, PMCA srehs can be found at :

I have tried them all and prefer WDC - I find them least constrictive.

There have been a few discussions on the subject in the last month or two

Thanks Stan, found them, can you tell me the difference between the half circle or crescent shaped ones and the ones that have the other shape...like the 3 sectioned one? I am pretty new to this.

Rhonda, All of these entrances were designed to keep out starlings. Everything I have read would indicated that the pronged entrances (3 sectioned) do a better job of keeping starlings out.

Converting a wooden t14 with Sreh entrances is easy/quick - open up the existing holes so that they are larger (not same as) as the srehs and attach new entrances with screws. One important thing to keep in mind is the distance from the bottom of the sreh opening to porch - it should be approx. 1/4", any larger makes it easier for starlings to get enter the compartment.

The best thing you can do is click on the 'Search' button at the top of this page and type in 'sreh entrances' as a keyword. Read away.

Good luck.
