How To Bring More Birds To A Specific Location In Your BH !!!

If you never try you never know the results !!!

This is something that you need to be honest to yourself. If you want to see some changes in your nests population you need to be innovative.

I was laying on my bed when this stupid idea came to my mind.

Is it possible to bring the birds to s specific plank in your BH by using those fake nests.

My idea is to put as many fake nests on a piece of plank but arranged in a manner where when those babies starts to grow their shits will not hit their neighbors downstairs.

If this idea works, then you can see that there will be more birds in one place. The benefits you get from this idea are as follows:

a) There will be more nests in any one location. This will make those swiftlets feel safe, peaceful and assured.

b) You can maximise the utilization of your nesting planks. If this nests arrangement is being propagated in your BH you actually double the number of nest per square foot ceiling areas. For example if you use the 30cm by 100 cm box you can get around 9 nests, with this you might get 18 nests. Hmm..... wonderful number.

c) Your effort in populating your BH will be more systematic. They come and populate those fake nests and once the nest being used two times you remove the fake nest and let them use those markings.

d) You can also move the tainted nests to other locations to encourage the colonisation of another piece of the wooden planks.

There is nothing to loose in trying this idea out. If it works you will hit a jack pot.

Trust me.

The cost to carry out this idea is minimum but the result might be generous.

Just look at these pictures that shows how the nest arrangements looks likes in a heavily populated BH. The nests are below the others.

As long as the lower nests are away from those shits propel out of the nest by those young birds they are okay.



If you should try and it works please let me know. Let us share with the rest.

Styrofoam Nests: I Will Be Installing Lots Of Them This Weekend!!!

I will be going back to Sungai Patani this weekend. Have an important work to do at my birdhouse. At the same time attending Father's-In-Law Birthday.

One of my main objective is to install as many styrofoam fake nests as possible in my Birdhouse this weekend.

My idea is to place the stryrofoam strips at one corner of the ground floor and the balance at the upper floor.

Last few weeks have been collecting these styrofoam used for my nasi lemak meals and cut them into small strip of 5 inch by 1 inch. I have at least 50 of them to be installed.

Bought a heavy duty staple plus bullets, the bigger size, so that I can easily fix them on the wooden roofing.

Hopefully by my next trip, the young birds will be able to use them as their place to built their nests.

For your information young birds who have little experiences in building any nest before find that these fake nests allows them to get the confident in building their first nests. There were many sifus who recommended, especially Pak Hen Mulia, in using this cheap and easily available materials.

At the same time I wud like the house to be fully occupied. Currently most of my tenants prefer to nest at the lowest floor at the back of the room. This might be due to ideal temperature and humidity.

They tend to cluster together and do not want to built on the higher floor or other corner/parts of the ground floor.

I need to lure these young birds to start their nests at these inhibited areas.

There is nothing wrong to try and will monitor it's result.
