Another BH In Kubang Pasu, Kedah !!



After 10 empty months the birds started to occupy this building.

"Apek" is staying at the foot of this 1 years old BH.

Located in a padi field in Kubang Pasu Kedah.

One of the strange thing that happened was the bird never entered the BH until the 10th months. No one knows the real answer but the most probable reason was the cement smell.

Apek indicated that when he took over the house the smeel was still thick and he believed the birds were sensitive to those smell.

After 10 motnhs the smell must have been reduced.

Apek took me around the unit and the most pronounced were the sharp flower casing built onto the wall. I asked him what was so special about those intermitent flower casing. His answer was those flower casing were to stop snakes from climbing up the walls.

He planted lots of banana trees, mango trees and a number of herbs.

The number of birds have climbed significantly and I am not suprised that each month the BH can produce at least 10 kilos a month.

Wow,

Never expected that my hometown was quite popular for swiftlet. Thanks for putting this up. Will try to visit it someday when going back there this upcoming Raya.
