Do I Need To Introduce Those Aromas In My New BH !!!

Today I was pretty busy with sending those Black Cloud orders that I never aspect to be so overwhelming.

At least 10 orders and they keep coming. I plan to stop selling when it reached 50 pieces.

This measures is to curb the number in the market so that this birdcall sound be competing with each other.

While doing the packing a call came from Johor.

"Pak Harry, should I introduce those Aromas in my BH? Which aroma should I use?"

Have you introduce those fresh bird shits?

"Yes."

How about the ammonia powder?

"Yes."

So right now you wanted to introduce those man made aroma into your BH?

"Yes, but I do not know which?"

Mr. H the BH is yours and nobody have the right to stop you from doing what you wish to do.
Before you decide to introduce these so call aroma, is your BH currently ready plus the micro habitats are perfect. Are your BH external and internal sounds perfect?

I remember talking with Mr. James, about introducing aromas in any BH not long ago.

"Harry no matter how good the aroma is, if your BH is not proper and the sounds used are bad, the aroma will not work."

The best is ensure that your BH is perfect. Their internal temperature is within range, the humidity is good, the lighting are well liked by those swiftlets and those sounds are enchanting.

What you need to know about aroma are as follows:

1) Any aroma that you use in your BH, can either bring more birds in, can also chase those birds away or nothing happen.

If more birds enter the house and stay then you are on the right tract but what happen if the number become negative?

2) I came across ed a good friend who was so carried away with this new found aroma and he applied all over his BH. The next moment all his tenants, old birds staying in the house, moved out.

He was so disappointed with the result and quickly cleaned the whole house with special water before drying them.

3) I also came across a user in Alor Star who said that the moment he used the same aroma, after 54 hours of application, the sky were dark with birds flying in and out of his BH.

He was so happy with the results and he claimed that the number of nest population have increased by more then 20% a month.

4) There were many others who use the same aroma got no result. Yes zip nothing happened.

Based on the above true stories, I conclude the followings:

a) Before you introduce any foreign aromas, except fresh bird shits, into your BH it is wise to ensure that the house micro habitats are in a very good conditions.

b) Make sure your external sound are effective and every time you play them the birds will be above your BH rooftop.

c) Make sure that the internal sound are also perfect. Soothing and not chasing the birds out.

d) The best advise in using any new aroma is to use as little as possible. Do a trial or test run. The best method is to apply this new aroma to a fake nest made of paper or wood or Styrofoam.

Prepare about 5 to 10 pieces, soak them into this aroma and dry them up. Install them in your BH at a selected location where there were no birds staying before.

If you have those CCTV camera, zoom on these fake nests.

e) If the test result is good, many birds simply cannot resist the smell then you are on the right path. If they hate the smell, you better quickly remove these fake nests immediately.

f) If you want to try a ne aroma, wait for about three week after the old test. Do the same application technique.

g) Once you have identified the right aroma, you now should plan to expand the application technique. You need to increase the volume of those fake nest or perhaps spray onto those planks.

Remember, the use of any aroma, except fresh bird shits, do have a repercussion. You must be careful and treat them as if you are pouring some kind of toxic chemicals in your BH.

Have a proper plan and execute them in stages.

Never be too greedy until all your swiftlets run out on you.

If you need to talk to someone who has gone through this bad experience, just call me. I will be very happy to give his phone number.

He is my good friend and his attitude is the same as me. Both of us believed that we need to educate all newbies and there is nothing wrong to share what we know.
