Why U Must Conduct a Swiftlet Call Test !!!

I think one of the most important thing that U must do before deciding to buy a piece of land or shoplot for birdhouse project is to do the swiftlet call test.

The reasons that I gave to one newbie are as follows:

Quote:

There are two reasons why U want to conduct the birdcall tests.

The first is just for the fun of it. This can be done at noon or a bit later, bit cooler, at around 3pm to 4 pm.

The second is for a very serious investor who wanted to invest in purchasing a plot of land or a shoplot which he wanted to built or convert into a birdnest house.

For this type of reason, I would recommend that U do both in the morning and the everning. U can conduct the test on the same day or on two separate days.

If U have the time then do three test ie one in the afternoon too.

The reason for that is that U need to be sure that there are birds on the plot of land.

The result will tell U to go ahead or not to go ahead. The result will confirm that there is a good potential and not heresays recommendations from a third party or even from your SIFU.

I do not recomend U to bring a contractor or a Sifu who have a side interest on the project to the the test side yet.

They will be biased. Even 10 birds were recorded they will say it is very good buy. All in all they wanted U to quickly give them the contract to design and convert the land/house. As such U are misled and U take the risk while they make a quick money from U.

The best result is have more then 100 birds while 50 is medium and below 20 is not very good. If it is below 20 U need to do the test again on a different dates and time. If the result is still the same then U have to reconsider other options.

Do not rush into buying the property. There are plenty other properties around that are suitable that will brings in faster returns of your investment.

Unquote:

There are as many as 70% birdhouses built but after three to five years are not returning the number of nests in the house.

I believe the mistake done by most of these new owners was that they do not conduct the Birdcall test prior to constructing their birdhouses.

If they have conducted then the chances to fail is minimised.

Trust me that the test is very simple and it will not cost U more then 300 ringgit. If U buy the tweeter plus some modification it will cost U much lesser like RM 100.

Do you want to plug in RM200K without doing a RM300 ringgit test?

Put your thinking cap before making any mistakes like many of those who are having many empty houses????
