My Very Precious Visit Report !!!

I remember very well when I visited a BH in Vietnam and after which I wrote about 19 pages report with various sketches on what they should do.

The report was well received and implemented in stages.

At that moment the number of birds were less than 5 but now the result, after carrying out my recommendations, is outstanding.

I am very proud to have help the owner with his BH sickness problem and I hope the remedies I recommended will be useful for others too.

Just read this email just received this morning (August 30, 2011):

Dear Sifu Harry,

I and my parents are very pleased to have that precious report from your visit to our BH. Each time i come to maintain my BH, i always arrange to implement some of your recommendation, such as hanging perfume garden, auto-spray aroma system, hexagonal tweeter, chandelier, fake nests, etc..  
After two months, the swiftlet population in my BH increase significantly.

Now we have about hundreds of birds stay in my BH. Today i wanna send you a video captured from my camera to show you what i have now. 
Your knowledge, as well as your experience in this field is admirable. 
Thanks for your contribution to us as well as this industry.

Kuantan BH Reactivated !!!




I felt very glad that the owner(a young man)was absolutely very happy over what happened today.

Yes I finally reactivated a BH that was not doing well in Kuantan Pahang.

Three hours drive up and three hours down. Very taxing and back breaking but the joy was to see those big smile on the owner's face.

Started my journey this morning and was there at 11.00am.

The owner was there waiting for me.

Greet him and his Mom. I told myself that if I wanted the house to be ready need to act fast.

Did the inspection one by one and ensure that those new tweeters were installed facing the right directions.

The fresh bird shits taken from Setiawan were distributed on the lower and upper nesting rooms. They make the room smell very pungent and nice.

The humidifier were reactivated using a Hygrostat and a timer.

Both sounds, external and internal, were activated to check for any problem. Perfect all were well.

The most problematic was the activation of those amplifiers using digital timers for the switching of sound at different time.

Two of the 4 amplifiers were not working as per design. The right side connectors were not sending any signal.

Hmm ...... what can be done?

I quickly swab the amplifiers. Use the internal amplifiers and swab for the external. The external needs both the left and right while the internal using one side is no then enough.

All went well and before 3.30pm sprayed the walls and the entrance areas with my new formulated aroma called "Erotika" and "Mesmeriser".

These two are my latest formula and I hope those birds will not be scared or hates their smell. If they works well then I have a new formula to be shared with all my blog readers.

By 4.30pm the house was ready and we started with Tongkat Ali. Not many birds around due to the extreme weather condition (too hot).

By about 5.30pm the sound now was running my famous "Black Cloud". Waited and waited until darkness.

There were a number of birds that were affected by the call but the best was the short period just before sundown from 7.20pm till 7.45pm.

This was went those birds rush home. The moment they passed the roof top the "Black Cloud" lured them into the house.

It was something like a magnet. They will be drawn to the hexagonal, make a short round and in they go. There will be at least one bird every 10 seconds.

It was marvellous to see the whole activity. We have a neighbour who was also there to look at his BH just two units away.

The number of birds entering were more or less the same according to him.

After about 8.00pm I started my journey back to Kuala Lumpur.

The owner was very happy and I told him a few tips which I wanted him to do on a daily basis.

While on the Karak Kuantan Highway he sent this short SMS:

"Pak Harry, thanks for launching my BH and setting up the system together. U did a great job. I enjoyed working with U to make the BH successful. Thank U very much. From Steve."

He sound very happy and I hope all those efforts he put together following all my recommendations will do well for him and the family.

Black Cloud In Melaka !!!

Today the whole day I was in Melaka, fixing Mr.A's birdhouse.

He engaged me a couple of weeks ago to see what was wrong with his 7 months BH.

After more then three modifications, by a well known consultant, it was still closed to empty.

He was very fortunate to have read my blog and what he did to check on me was genius.

He confessed today that before calling me for the second time he did the followings:

1) He never trusted me in the beginning.  

However after trying out a few suggestions that I wrote in my blog, he saw the truth.

He introduced those fake nests in one of his BH and after a few weeks they were occupied with a few nests.  

I passed the first test.  Then .....

2) During my first visit I asked him to do something simple to proof that it will bring in more birds. 
 
He followed exactly and keep track on the BH progressed.  

Well the results, based on his imput, the number of his BH new tenants went up by five folds.  

Before this there were not many bird shits spots.  

Today's visit, he showed me those cardboard papers he placed below those tweeters with lots of bird shits.

After assessing these two successes, he decided to follow all the recommendations that I forwarded during my first visit.

He called nearly everyday to get me move my butt to Melaka.  After some persuasion he managed to get me today.

I was very pleased with his attitude.  He cannot speak fluent English but currently runs at least 7 bakery shops in Melaka.

He planned to have at least a 2 digits number (Exact number is a secret) of BHs soon.  He was unsure before meeting me.  

Now everything is on track, according to him.  I am very honored to be selected as his advisor.

Well coming back to his sick BH, I told him to increase the number of those tweeters, installed new humidifier systems, use a hygrostat, cool the BH with another humidifier, install more fake nests, introduce more ammonia powder in the BH, shut the entrance hole to the minimum, introduced new amplifiers, use digital timers to the max and so on.

The most crucial was the magnificient method that I used the "Black Cloud".

 I called it " Harry's Masterpiece".

What I like most about this project was to see his smiles when those swiftlets swooped in when they heard those Black Cloud melody.

I was damn sure that for every 10 birds that passes his BH, 8 entered.

He is a very lucky devil.  How I wish that BH belongs to me............

One more person whom, with my personal touch, will become a Millionaire, very soon......
