I was in Johor a few weeks back and during dinner I was with a blog reader of mine that takes a lot of effort in perfecting his new BHs.
He now owned at least three BHs and about to purchase a few more (how about 5 ).
His method of getting more BHs into his asset is by locating as many investors as possible, mainly Singaporeans, and help them to purchase BHs that are not doing well. Once purchased he will turn around one by one by using his, plus mine, expertise in swiftlet ranching.
To be able to turn around failed BHs is not an easy tasks but he managed to collect lots of knowhow by investing into field trips to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
It was during his trip to Manado, Indonesia that he discovered strange things that sometime it is mind boggling.
One such phenomena is meeting someone who calls those swiftlet by blowing those bamboo leaf.
Unbelievable but true.
The moment this swiftlet's "Bomoh or Witchdoctor" blew the bamboo leaf the sound generated will cause those birds, within a few kilometers, will be drawn to the sound. Those birds staying inside his BH will fly out to check where the sound came from.
In this way he can check the number of birds inside his BH.
I plan to visit Manado with him to verify the truth of his "Bullshit" Stories. He he he.... Those who wanted to join please book your seat now. (3 person only).
One more interesting advise by the same WitchDoctor was never to paint your BH totally black, internally.
If you want to pain with black color water based odorless try to pain only the lower part. Leave the top part white.
His reason being the birds feel threaten if it is too dark or perhaps they could not find their way out in the early morning.
I remembered the important of light to these birds in the morning. They cannot effort to wake up late. Late means lesser food. If they continue to wake up late they will be starved and weak. At the end of the day they will be dead.
So be careful when you wanted to apply those black colored paint..........
