How To Ensure A Successful Conversion Of A Shop House !!!

I can say thay I am very lucky to be given lots of chances to enter all kind of BHs in Malaysia & Indonesia.

Everyday there will be a new person who called asking me to drop by at their sick BHs and of course I will be asked to provide the best recommendations to turn the BH around. I mean to cure the sick BH to normal or perhaps a healthy one.

With the many visits I made, I think there is a very common trends among those failed BHs.

One of the most common mistake is the lack of knowledge in getting the birds into their BH.

The selection of proper external sounds and internal sound can be classified as the number one problem.

Most failed BH owners don't really know that there is such thing as mating and colony sounds.

They played the same external sound for years. They have never set a sound library and that initial sound was the only sound that they have.

If you inspect their BH, you can see those old rooms that were used as offices or bedrooms still not taken down during the conversion operation. Main excuse being the birds love to be in rooms.

I can safely said that the main reason for not taking down those wall was pure laziness or additional labor cost to the contractor & owner.

These rooms or to be more precise partionings to me are useless unless they are not blocking the bird's flying path and with a dimension not less then 12 feet by 12 feet.

Most of the time these partionings or rooms block the flying path of those precious birds and it does not give any benefits to your BH.

It would be much easier to convert an empty shop house lot then those with so many rooms and corridors all over the place.

My frank advise is to give a free hand to your trusted "Sifu" to let him tear down those partionings and allow him to use his expertise to modify the house.

You must not put too many conditions to your "Sifu". Good example: Please don't touch these walls and rooms and pillars and staircases and etc.

It is better to say: "Sifu please do what you think best for a successful BH. Tear down all those walls if you need to."

If you are one of those who happened to have the same problem, call this number 017 755 1318 today.
