Something In Kuala Lipis BH That I Wanted To Write About !!!

During my Pahang rendezvous I was invited to have a look at a BH owned by Mr Y.

Mr Y is a young man who operate a sundry shop items whare housing.  He love swiftlet farming.  Currently owned two BHs one in Kuala Lipis and the other in Jerantut.

He is a self taught person.  After a nasty experience with a wrong "Sifu" he decided to learn himself and managed his two BH on a DIY basis.

What I can see in him is the urge to learn with nothing to be shy about attitude.  He was very pissed with his "Sifu" and decided to manage the 2 BH himself after a disastrous result under the so call consultant.

He served the net and stumbled into a few blogs and started his journey to learn.  The strong point about him was to be nice with those blog readers and persuade them to answer all the relevant points which will help him to revamp the two BHs on his own.

I remembered talking to him nearly everyday at one point.

What ever that he learned he applied them. From there he will keep the momentum to improve his BHs nests population.

I can confess to all that he bought nearly all my good sound and he is a good bargain hunter.

 Everytime he purchase those sound he will remember to squeeze for a free offer or a good discounts.

I was allowed to enter his BH for a few short minutes and I was impressed with the number of birds inside the house.

He indicated that the high temperature inside the nesting room was his biggest set back.  To combat the high temperature he push lots of those mist, using a couple of those chicken coop humidifiers, in the house.  When I entered the house was so misty and wet.

To cool the water used by the chicken coop humidifier he wanted to use those cooling plate recycled from those broken fridge.  I told him to make one for me.

What I found interesting about his BH were:

1) The number of tweeters at the entrance hole was plenty. His reason being he cannot effort to loose the sound.  If one failed there will be another 14.  Yes he installed more then 15 pieces of tweeters like a train coaches.
2) The number of tweeters were reasonable and these tweeters were very effective.  Those birds seem to love building their nest all around those tweeters.  Some on the top, some at the bottom and at their sites.

3) He tried a few types of corner covers one of which was the aluminium plate.  What he did was to combine the installation with wood corner covers.  Hmm the wood will fill the gap.
4) He installed a few fake nests and all were occupied.
5) His main problem was the fungus on the plank.  His solution was to either to replace the whole plant or place a layer of alumminium plate with grooves.  It seem that it works well in Jerantut.
6) The floors were wet all the time and that might be a very good reason why all his nests were crystal white.  The wetness helps in reducing those dust from air born.

Best of luck to him and thank you for the nice lunch at House of Jelawat Restaurant.
