A Birdhouse On An Agricultural Land In Semeling, Merbok, Kedah.


One of the birdhouse that I visited recently.

The well designed birdhouse is situated on a plot of durian Orchard land that the owner bought for his swiftlet ranching.

The total land area is about 2 acreas, properly fenced plus two small brick house used by the keeper.

The birdhouse dimension is estimated to be 40 feet width by 80 feet length and five stories high. Each floor is about 10 feet high.

The top floor is used as the bird entrance plus a roving area.

The agricultural land is about 800 feet from a main road of Bedong to Tanjung Dawai.

I believed that this is one of the best option as compaired to converting a shop lot. It will have less problems with the local council and located far away from any housing estates.

Base on Agriculture land act, as long as the ratio between building to open land is about 1/4 it is acceptable.

Have you ever thought of cultivating what the birds eat? You farm their food, those mothers will fly in in the billions.

Crickets. Grasshoppers. List is almost endless.

Wouldnt it be awesome if you could have them eat mosquitoes. lol.
