The Most Effective Way To Guide Those Birds To Lower Floors !!!
If you are new and not familiar about those wild swiftlet you might have a big problem is pulling them to the lower floors.
Most people thinks that the birds prefer to stay on the upper floors and not the lower floors.
The reason being the upper floors are easier to find and short distance to fly.
However if you operate a three stories high building you know for sure that the lowest floors are cooler and darker.
More often than not they are more conducive especially the humidity range.
If from the beginning all the birds are staying on the upper floors, you might have difficulties to pull them downstairs forever.
A well designed BH is when from the first day of operation these wild birds are well distributed all over the floors.
If you erected one or two VIP rooms on each floor all the VIP rooms show signs of bird shit spots inside it.
How do you actually pull those birds downstairs?
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that your BH is designed with a proper aligned "Lubang Antara Lantai" or LAL i.e the opening to allow the birds from the top most floor to the lowest floor.
Try to ensure that the two holes is wide enough (minimum 6'X10') and are at a 45* inclination.
Assuming you erect you staircase along the wall you can in fact install a suitable numbers of wall mounted tweeters about 5-10 feet apart.
My recommendation is to use a wood with two Piezo tweeters either a 3"X3" or 2"X5" in dimension. (refer to sketch provided)
You need to start the installation at the top most and the next about say 8-10 feet away and the follow up tweeter another 10 feet until you reached the lowest floor.
The sound shall be your external sound.
Once the birds entered the main entrance hole they will follow the next sound until they reach the lowest floor.
Once they reach the lowest floor tweeters you need to think of the next thing to do.
Ask yourself : "How will they be lured into your VIP room?"
