A Big BH In A Bungalow Compound !!!



While on the way home from Kuala Trengganu, I decided with my co-driver to drive up north to Kuala Kerai via Jertih and go towards Gua Musang before hitting Raub, Bentong and KL.

I never new that this codriver of mine married to someone from Kuala Kerai.



The moment we reached Jertih, I saw this massive half yellow and half red coloured buldings that was pretty nice to look at. The bird entrance, square shape, was just below those roof joint. There were a number of birds flying around the hole.

There were at least 10 more birdhouses along the same road.





Well who says that the entrance holes must alway be square or rectangle? Just have a look at this circular entrance hole. I never believed my eyes when something weired like this pop up infront of my eyes.

They are just unique and unbelievable. These SIFU who does this must be a super high hirachy level in this bird house design selection. I am pretty sure they do have some reasons but please don't even open your mouth to Harry.

In Kuala Kerai I was taken to a bungalow how with a gigantic birdhouse about 5 meters away. The BH was in the same compound. About five stories and about 80 feet by 80 feet and we climbed in the dark from one floor to the other until we reached the top deck.

You will never guess what more that I came acrossed. More weired thing that makes your mind "kepala pusing" (unbelievable). The building walls were designed with special ventilation holes that I have never seen before. They are not holes but open window blocked by a huge piece of cement slabs.

Oh big mama, who have ever given these weired ideas to the owner????

Internally they are well designed with pretty looking nesting planks covered with corner covers. The only sore to my eyes were those tweeters arrangements. They are not facing the hole where those birds were coming into the room. The tweeters were placed deep in into the nesting plank's slots.

The roving area on the top floor was about 20 feet by 20 feet. Once those birds flew in they can roove around or snope into the LAL. The LAL between the other floors are via the staircase.

I love to see those walk rails installed onto the staircase.

I hope all of you enjoy these pictures that I took while in the BH.

Hi, Harry,

Will the safety railings affect the smooth flight path ?

Yong,

That is always the case however if the railing is very small in dimension and without those small railing it will be okay.

The bird's acholocation shud find the right way.

If U found many dead birds aroung the LAL where the railings are, then U need to do something.
