Can someone tell me where to find the fall-out shelter in the PMCA shop? I've looked everywhere, but can't find it.... :-( ... Thanks, Pat

Martin Colony History: Erected 1st house in 1997. Birds were checking it out before Mike got down from the ladder. Six cavities had a little colony 1st year. Grown to 88 cavities all gourds with near 100% occupancy. Most important factor for success is rain = bugs.

Hi, Pat.

I've looked for it, too. They are still showing the picture of it on the header for the category it used to be found in. I think they may have discontinued selling it. You could make your own easily enough. It is, after all, only a temporary shelter. Someone recently made one from cardboard and it served it's purpose well until the young fledged. Here's a link to her story.
