The Clutch is the answer. Four Wild Bird Lover's Two-Piece Martin Gourds in a single pack, each featuring convertible crescent SREH entrances, off-white heat-reflective construction, and a two-piece interlocking design that makes seasonal cleaning and maintenance genuinely straightforward. Whether you're expanding an existing rack system, replacing worn gourds, or stocking up for a new installation, The Clutch delivers the colony infrastructure your program needs — four at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eScientific Engineering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConvertible Entrance Hole Geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each gourd ships with a crescent SREH opening measuring 2.125\"L x 1.25\"H for passive European Starling exclusion.
