Visited A Five Years Old Telok Anson BH with 6 nests !!!!

It is sad to visit a BH ideally located but with only 6 nests after being put into operation for almost 5 years.

Yesterday, in between my busy scheduled, agreed to visit a four stories stand alone BH in Teluk Anson.

The owner find it very hard to understand why those birds refused to take resident in his BH even thought every day there will be at least 100 birds on the roof top.

He already engaged two consultants to revamp the house but the nest population went into the reverse gear. Every month the number keep reducing (from about 30 nests) and stop to 6 until yesterday.

Location wise was perfect. A stand alone, closed to a wide Perak River, four stories, about 500 meters from Teluk Anson main town.

About 80 meters away there was one successful units with about 10 kg a month output.

Looking at the various aspect of the BH, I told the owner to re look into the followings:

1) Top Floor to be totally dedicated as the Entrance and Roving area.
2) He should look adding one more entrance holes to make the BH as dual entries entity.
3) The flight path from the entrance holes to the targeted floors must be smoother and shorter distances.
4) The two entrance hole shall be operated with two separate sound system playing different sounds.
5) The current sound system should be replaced with something that can be easily replaced or perhaps modern.
6) The House was filled with so many unwanted rubbish and he need to remove all of them.
7) He need to focus in doing up the 3rd & 4th floor.  The lowest and 1st floor can be activated once the 3rd floor are occupied.
7) Those partitioning were not proper and he need to relocate them.
8) Two VIP rooms can be located at the end of the floor.
9) A Happy Hours Corner can be deployed in one of the larger sized VIP room.
10) The number of external and internal sound tweeters need to be increased and properly relocated.
11) He need to use specialized aromas for the house.
12) The LAL do need be reconfigured and those tweeters were not properly located.
13) The hexagonal tweeters were not functioning.
14) The external walls need to be covered from direct sunlight.
15) The To entrance opening should be laid with a pool.  Make sure to leak proof the pool area.
16) Focus on the the 3rd and the 4th floor to minimize the revamp cost.  Once the number of birds are plenty then move to the 2nd and ground.

After the visit, tested a few new external sounds, and these new sounds (Pandora 2, Extreme 4, Indra, D'President and Fabulous Call) seem to pull lots of birds over.

All in all the BH can be turned around but he need to look at the recommendations that I hope to finish soon.
