Another BH Owner Who Happened To Be The Cousin Of Pacitan BH Owner !!!
Exactly the same problems made by the same Consultant.
I was waiting for my worker to pack and get ready to move out of the Pacitan BH when a 4X4 truck entered the BH compound.
I greeted the car owner and asked him if there is anything that I can help.
His answer was interesting.
"I drop by because I saw those black orchid mat covering my cousin BH. You see I also owned a BH about two minutes drive from here and after 3 years into operation only two nests until now. Can you take a look and tell me what is wrong with it?"
I agreed to follow him and the moment I entered his BH I noticed something very similar to the BH that I just finished revamping.
I asked him if he was using the same Consultant used by his cousin?
He smiled but did not reply my question.
It seems that this so called Consultant con the two cousins and both face exactly the same problems.
The whole house was very bright.
The temperature must be about 33*C.
The same wall thickness were used.
The ventilation holes elbows were turned facing the ceilings.
The gap between those nesting planks were about 3 feet wide.
The Consultant have this habit of splashing bird shit mud onto all the walls.
There was not a single external sound tweeters inside the nesting rooms.
The internal tweeters were not installed facing the flying path.
There was not a single partition to block those bright light shining into the rooms.
A big disaster and I feel so sorry for this poor BH owner.
He mentioned that there were a number of his friends who used the service of the same consultant not one are having birds inside their BHs.
What a shame and I simply could not understand why these poor guys were easily cheated.
On my way back to the revamp BH I told him what can be done and how much will be its cost.
The new friend seems to be very pleased with my quotation.
"Give me a few days to think and I will contact you. I have invested a lot of money and I am sure your help will bring my BH back its life."
I hope I can be of help but who knows.
I took him into the revamped BH and he was very pleased with what I have done.
"So different from what it was before, Pak Harry. A very good job and I and very impressed with your workman ship." his comment.

Thank you for posting this. Just one question .. who is the owner of this farm? And how did it started?
I am not sure how it started but it was a bad choice of using the not so knowledgeable person. The point here is that after more than 3 years there were only 2 1/2 nests.
His name was zainal sambul
Sorry Zainal Samut
