Get the shop assistant to pack all the balance to take home. In English we call it a dogie bag which means that they wanted to take home for their dogs.Well if you build a BH and if you happened to have lots of those nesting planks laying around to be thrown away, try to make full use of all of them.
My suggestion is to cut them to about 6-10 inches long and nail each of them onto those nesting planks on the cement walls.
The idea is to create more 90* corners on those planks temperorily.
Swiftlet simply love these 90* corners and the more you create them the higher the chance in getting them to say "I do" to your place.
The installation of these 10"X6"X1" wood is very simple and you just need to use those air gun to nail them one by one.
Make sure their stand straight with no gap with the base plank.
The moment those swiftlet choose to build their nest on these 90* corners you hit the jack pot.
As the rule of them thumb once they have used these corner making plank you just need to harvest the nests and quickly remove those temporarily installed planks.
The marking left on the base plank will eventually attract the previous tenant to come back but this time they will be forced to build a 180* shape nests.The more you get these birds to build their nest on those temporary 90* angle the better is you chance to populate you BH in total.
The above pictures (new ones) were taken today at a new BH under construction at Ulu Langat, Selangor.
I believed this BH will be up and running within the next two weeks.
