PART 2
The more you know them the more you wish you can get more information about their weird behaviors.
I learn something that might be very useful for those who wanted to populate their BH.
When I was in Kuala Krai, visiting an Eco Park Project, I saw this special phenomenon that attracts my attention to the fullest.
It was those wild swiftlets hovering above a cluster of wood logs that was placed on a wood mill beside the said Eco Park.
I was so carried away that I took a few video clips that I wanted to share with all my blog readers.
The wood logs was said to be cut down from the nearby forest and known as “PERAH”. They seem to have been infested by those worms that upon maturity will turned into beetles. Each is as big as a grain of rice.
They usually mate upon turning into beetle and start laying eggs on those logs. Many wanted to fly to other part of the logs or far away logs and that were when those swiftlets will snatch them for a snack.
I took a few photos but was not that clear.
This phenomenon is a very interesting fact where you might want to apply the exact way to your BH. This is more like providing those additional food outside your BH (especially if BH in on an Agricultural Land).
What if the logs that I can find are without those insects?
Simple, you just need to stack them within a few short distances from you BH and you go and collect the same insect from a nearby log barn where they produce the insect. Catch them one by one, say about 500 and bring them to your log stack. Release them carefully and see what happen after a few short weeks.
Once they start to lay their eggs and those yummy worms start to drill through, you are on the right track.
If you wanted to be safe, just find the same type of logs with those insects oozing out and place them around your BH?
Maybe I should start a business to cut those logs and sell to all my beloved blog readers!!!!.
Hope all of you will enjoy viewing the video clips and pictures but try to think about applying this simple technique so that your BH is better then your neighbors.

THE BEETLE LOOKS MORE OR LESS LIKE THIS PHOTO.
ONE MORE TYPE FOUND BUT MIGHT BE TO BIG FOR THOSE SWIFTLETS.
