Early this morning I was invited to visit another newly build BH located somewhere in Klang closed to Connaught Bridge Power Generating Plant.
The owner was not happy that his BH was emptied when the internal temperature went up to 33*C.
He never thought that the temperature can shoot that high and the result was a disaster. When he started the BH he can easily get more then 300 birds inside the house but when the nesting room temperature keep hitting the roof those birds went missing.
"Pak Harry I should have covered the rooftop and the side walls much earlier. It was a total mistakes and I took the blame for being so stupid."
Well try not to be too hard on yourself. You have make a bad mistake and learned from it. Right now after the incident your BH is not back to work.
He indeed installed those roofing with about three feet gap allowing those air to flow freely. The side walls are now covered with those Orchid Plant black plastic netting (two layers).
The birds are now back inside, about 8 to 10 new markings on the floor.
One big incident that he commented was when his BH was totally flooded to his ankle. It was due to using those unreliable humidity sensors running those chicken coop humidifiers.
Right now what he did was to use those temperature logger and determine exactly when the temperature starts to move upward. He will then use those digital timer to operate his chicken coop humidifiers.
He planned to switch to using those soundless humidifiers soon.
After the half a day visit I tried a few new sounds in my collection. He chose a sound called "Indra".
He keep saying that if at noon time the number of birds responded is good, by evening time there will be much more.
Yes, while writing this article received his sms message: "Pak Harry got more then 100 entered my BH this evening. Thank you for your help."
He followed up with a telephone call and confess to me that the activities at the entrance hole now is back to its original way where many birds rush in and out.
He was so relieved and now can have a better sleep as compared to before I visited his BH.
Well another happy BH owner......
