Can You Direct Those Birds To Built Their Nests Where You Like Them To???

I was pondering about this crazy idea.

While in my friend's car on the way to Padang Serai, I posted this question to my friends.

He was a bit unsure but I remembered at one time I visited a BH in Sungai Pasir, Johore The owner complained that his BH have a weired problem where those swiftlets only stays at one corner and refuse to colonise the other parts of the building.

I entered the BH and make a quick evaluation on why this weired phenomena arises.

Once on the affected floor I was shown the area where those birds congregate and after that I was taken to those areas that the owner claimed to be emptied.

While watching I open my ears wide to listen for any extraordinary things.

My two eyes were wide opened to see if there were any spiritsin the BH that might be causing the weired thing. (I can see GHOST)

Well it took me not more then 5 minutes to reason out why.

The areas where those birds love to stay seem to be with the internal sound while those without any birds were dead, yes without any sound. The wiring of those tweeters were screwed.

So the conclusion here is that those wild birds will prefer to stay at those areas with internal sound.

Using this finding you might be able to move those birds to built their nests where ever you wish them to.

The only think that you need is to properly plan on how to wire you tweeters correctly and segmenting the zones where each zone you wired those tweeters separately.

Once you have done that you need to identify which cluster of wires belongs to which zone.

Once that is done, you place the wires to those areas where you swiftlet should first built their nest on let say the right connector and the rest to the left connectors.

You put the sound volume higher for the right and lower volume to the left. As such you will be able to push those birds to the right zone.

Once the selected zone is occupied, say 50 nests, you can now target the next possible zone.

Just do the reconnection of the wires and let the new zone have the next 50 nests. Do this until you complete your mission.

There are many interesting reasons why you should consider this idea.

The first is you will be able to keep you BH clean and proper. You might want to place those plastic mats below those zone or to be exact below those nesting areas. You can schedule the cleaning operation on a monthly basis.

The nest is that you will able to scrutinize their activities to the maximum. Good example you can concentrate to view their activities by using those CCTV camera to a specific location.

You can capitalise the use of those fake nests. You see if you install many fake nests in the first zone, once they were used, at least one, you can recycle its use by moving them to the next targeted zone. In this way the rate of population increase can be higher then those conventional method.

You can maximise the use of those expansive aroma. Now you will only apply those aroma on the zonal basis. As such your monthly usage will be greatly reduce. Using normal method you might need to spray one whole bottle per month per floor but now less then half a bottle?

What about your BH humidity? Yes, you can minimise the use of humidifiers. Initially you buy one unit and place it below the zone that you wanted to populate. Move the unit plus the Hygrostat to this target area first. The other less important zone can get their humidifier once their turn takes place. So less electricity consumption.

I might be too much to suggest this beautiful idea but I think it is worth to consider.

Those who objected please put forward 10 good reasons why it should not be called a marvellous idea??????

Harry,

This is a very brilliant idea. Thera are alot of Kiasu around in this industry. They build RC walls, install marble nesting planks and multi-storey high rise farms. I wonder if they can prevent theft and get more nests!!!. There are a lot we can safe and donate to charity instead rather than spent this type of money. I am sure we can get the same results using our brains rather than spending that kind of money.

Cheers.
