New BH In Sungai Rambai !!!!



I was invited to launch a newly build BH in Sungai Rambai during the weekend.

The owner took about 6 months to finish the three stories building and it was erected on an piece of agriculture land at the back of the owner's home.

The dimension was about 20 feet width with 65 feet in length. Each floor was about 12 feet high.

I was called in somewhere in the middle of the constructions operation and the owner was very glad that he found me. His "consultant" ran away with the initial payment and left the project hanging.

He found my blog and was very brave to call and meet up in Kuala Lumpur.

I gave him my point of views on many wrong things that I saw during the first visit.

I got him to use the top entry entrance hole system.

Got him to use the hexagonal tweeter tower.



Recommended the installation of roof covers to avoid direct sunlight.



Most of those gaps between the nesting planks and the ceiling were sealed with wood.



The fungus that were found on the nesting planks were removed.

Safety barriers protecting the LALs were installed using steel pipes.



Those ventilation holes uses long PVC pipes to divert the air intake to the floor.



Assembled all those items that he needed to complete the new BH.

Got all the items installed as per a good birdhouse construction practises.

Inspect the installation works on a regular basis and last weekend the house was put into operational mode.

He was relieved to reach the final stage and I felt the same.

At last his first and long dreamed BH was on track. It was nearly abandoned.

Before starting the bird call sounds, I help plus show the caretaker on how to apply those new BH aroma and the passionate. Those fresh bird shits were also place inside the house at the back of the nesting room.

I told the owner to check the house on a regular basis for the first few days to ensure those water pipes are not leaking and the sound are played at the right volume.

I will be calling the caretaker on a regular basis to check the BH status....

He is now a better person as compared to before the BH was ready.

He make a number of mistakes and using the wrong person to built the BH was the biggest.

He ordered too much of the nesting planks and now keeping them for his next project.

The best was to have meet Pak Harry.

"It was arranged by Allah and if not I will not be meeting you Pak Harry."

I told him that I am glad to be involved and let us works toward getting the birds inside and build their nests.......













PS: The caretaker told me that on the morning of July 14th,2009, there were at least 8-10 birds entered the BH. How wonderful.....

Mr.A Of Melaka Wanted My Help For His 2nd BH !!!

Absolutely amazing results !!!

I was on the way back from Subang airport today when Mr. A, the Bakery owner in Melaka, called to confirm of asking me to quickly do the same for his second BH.

Remember a few days ago I went down to Melaka to fix those tweeters, set the hygrostat, humidifiers, amplifiers and of course installed my"Masterpiece"?

The impact was absolutely incredible. Mr.A have no hesitation to push his second BH for me to do exactly the same like the first.

I am sure he saw something happening and it must be damn good.

He told me that the first BH temperature now have not exceeded 28*C (used to be above 31*C)and the Humidity now is stable above 80% RH (used to be 70%RH or lesser).

He loved my "Masterpiece". Those birds, according to him, could not resist my Black Cloud sound. They seem to be charmed with the sweet caress when they passed his BH.

Based on what I saw the other day, 8 out of 10 birds, will swoop into Mr.A BH.

Come to think of it, if 8 out of 10, my "Masterpiece" now can lure not only those young birds with no nests yet but it seem that their parent too !!!!

Hmm.....................very interesting development.

This is something unusual and unbelievable.

I need to do more observations on this new development and findings.

If this is true, dear all my neighbors, please watch your BH carefully. Pretty soon all your tenants will switch camp (From Barisan to Pakatan).

He he he he ........

This message is serious and I can bet it will be the best invention I ever done.....

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......
