This is something that you need to be honest to yourself. If you want to see some changes in your nests population you need to be innovative.
I was laying on my bed when this stupid idea came to my mind.
Is it possible to bring the birds to s specific plank in your BH by using those fake nests.
My idea is to put as many fake nests on a piece of plank but arranged in a manner where when those babies starts to grow their shits will not hit their neighbors downstairs.
If this idea works, then you can see that there will be more birds in one place. The benefits you get from this idea are as follows:
a) There will be more nests in any one location. This will make those swiftlets feel safe, peaceful and assured.
b) You can maximise the utilization of your nesting planks. If this nests arrangement is being propagated in your BH you actually double the number of nest per square foot ceiling areas. For example if you use the 30cm by 100 cm box you can get around 9 nests, with this you might get 18 nests. Hmm..... wonderful number.
c) Your effort in populating your BH will be more systematic. They come and populate those fake nests and once the nest being used two times you remove the fake nest and let them use those markings.
d) You can also move the tainted nests to other locations to encourage the colonisation of another piece of the wooden planks.
There is nothing to loose in trying this idea out. If it works you will hit a jack pot.
Trust me.
The cost to carry out this idea is minimum but the result might be generous.
Just look at these pictures that shows how the nest arrangements looks likes in a heavily populated BH. The nests are below the others.
As long as the lower nests are away from those shits propel out of the nest by those young birds they are okay.
If you should try and it works please let me know. Let us share with the rest.
