Today received an email asking about the birdcall gadget and I just thought of recording the answer that I sent out.
The bird call gadget is to be used for the following purposes:
1) To check the number of birds in a territory or the property that you wanted to buy to convert to BH. If the number is above say 100 then there is a strong chance that the place is okay. If you get less then 20 then you might want to look for other places. For me I will consider only if the test result in 500 and above.
2) To check whether those wild birds flying around and area are those swiftlets. Note only swiftlets produces edible bird nest. If you happened to pass a place where there are lots of layang2 you cannot distinguish between walet and the rest of layang2. The best is to stop you can and put the gadget on. If they come over the gadget then they are walet. Or else forget it.
3) To check if can built one more at an area already have BHs. This is true especially when you play the sound I called Duress. Once you play them, all the birds in the surrounding will come over and those in the BH will also come out. So in this way you will have the opportunity to check how many there are in that area at that particular time. The actual number might be more then that, say 5 times more, if all are back from their hunting trip.
4) The best thing that you can use the bird call gadget is to check the effectiveness of any new sound that you have purchased. To be a successful BH owner, you need to have a collection of bird sounds. One or two is not enough. You need, may be 20 external and 5 internal, to use once they loose their effectiveness. As such you need this gadget to test them. Choose the right place that you know if you use the Duress their will be say 100 birds, then play those new sounds. Check at the number of birds responding and grade those sound base on the number that they produced.
There is nothing more exciting then having the test gadget.
While you conduct the test you should observe their size, their flying pattern (clockwise or anticlockwise), where they are coming from and where they fly after that.
You might want to observe what happen after you switch the sound off.
If you have the time you might want to come back at the same spot the next day at the same time and see what happen?
Yes you begin to learn more above them and in no time you will fall in love with them.
Once you have accumulated enough knowledge about them then you might make less mistakes...........
