Within 3 Months These BHs Double Its Nests Population !!!

These three BHs were revamped and the results were outstanding.

The owner called yesterday and confirmed that all the three BHs now doubled its nests numbers.

I was on my way to Temerloh Pahang and this BHs owner called me that he has just inspected his BHs in Trengganu.

I remembered being engaged by him to upgrade the BH about three months ago.

With my experience workers we upgrade the nesting planks crossings, cluster tweeters, fake nests, additional tweeters, installation of hexagonal tweeters, re aligned the partition walls and etc.

After the operation I told the owner that his BH now is in a superb position to double its nests.

He was not amused since he saw very little movement from the start of operation.

I told him to keep an eye on the three BHs and see what I meant.

After three months, yes three months, all the three doubled its nest numbers and at the same time there were a lot of new markings all over the nesting planks.

All the 90* corners were taken up.

If not because of burglary, the burglar stole all the BH amplifiers at Tok Dor BH, the BH should have triple nests increase.

I am so glad that I have discovered the right formula to help all sick BHs.

(Bukit Besi)

(Tok Dor)

(Besut)

This simply proof that those revamp operations were correctly done.

He took almost two years to get the first batch but I took only 3 months to double the number of nests found before my intervention.

The thing that I did were tested and proven.

Now we have the technique on how to improve any sick BH.

Call me at 017 7551318 if you have problems with your BH.

If I can do to these three I can also do the same at your sick BH.

The Land Around Bujang BH Is Now Planted With Fruit Trees !!!

The land around Bujang BH now is being planted with a few fruit trees, Figs trees and some vegetables.

While waiting for my workers to return to Kuala Lumpur, I make some time to plant a number of fruit trees around the Bujang BH.

Every time I make my trip to Sungai Patani I will stop at Sungai Buloh leprosy center to purchase as many fruit trees as I can.

My favorite are these:

1) Ciku
2) Ambra
3) Delima
4) Soursop
5) Magic Berries
6) Nona
7) chilies
8) Terong
9) Papaya
10) Banana


Planted three figs trees obtained from SP air layered tree.

In the mean time I went to Karangan to deliver some BH items and during my visit the owner help in proving a few tapioca stems and pineapple young shoots.

Getting very interesting and exciting.

My biggest problem are those weeds .

They have started to grow after the clearing works.

Might need to apply those weed killer or else in no time they will take over the whole land.

Have make some inquiries about this tree hormones that are said to increase the tree size by 50%.

The seller will meet me soon to deliver a few liters.

Just have a look at these pictures taken recently:

Today August 21st 2014 Activities !!!

My schedule today was to be at Fakulti Veterinar to meet someone running the Center of Excellent for Swiftlet.

I went there very early since I was scared of the possible jam along the way.

However it was a smooth ride and I was already there at 10:30 am while my meeting was scheduled at 11:30am.

Pull my full scarp paper and start to jot down all those things that I needed to carry out for the day and the day after.

The guy who arranged for my meeting came about 11:10 am all the way from Sungai Buluh Hospital.

We sat down at the foyer for a few minutes until the Professor greeted us.

The meeting went well and I took the opportunity to voice my reasons in meeting them and I hope they will take my request seriously.

I was pushing on the SOP for swiftlet breeding and releasing at those poorly populated BHs.

I admitted that I have some experiences working with another group but unfortunately they could not complete the SOP.

If everything goes as plan I will be receiving their call to start delivering another 100 or more swiftlet eggs.

I spoke my next Swiftlet Farming Seminar on October 4th and they would like to attend to listen to my talk.

I was also invited to be a guess speaker in their nest swiftlet farming forum in November 2014 at Merriot Putra Jaya.

One another issue I received a call from a new blog reader who wanted to test the Super Pheromone.

He was not sure to proceed or not to.

He called and asked for my opinion.

This was where I spoke to him about how most BH owners are short changed.

I proposed to him a few things on how to make the Pheromone more effective.

One of my advice was to increase the some volume in the room loader as compared to the rest of the floors.

His answer was as expected: " Pak Harry my BH sound system is straight forward.  The sound volume cannot be changed."

Well this was what I told him that you have been short changed.

The so called consultant who installed your sound system never provide the necessary extra to allow you to maneuver where those birds will stay in your BH.

They might be ignorant but how about doing something yourselves?

The best is to combine the super pheromone with the louder sound and those fake nests.

I hope he understood my recommendations.

I told him that if he use the pheromone just by spraying it might have lesser effectiveness.

The best way to make it work faster is to think of all the ways to pull those birds into the room that he just applied the aroma.

Use those sound to lure them inside and let them stay inside.

Karak BH: After 2 Years Into Operation Mode I Can See Some Improvements !!!

Just wanted to share something which I was trying to compare.

I was going thru the old and new files and discovered some old video clips.

The first was taken way in 2012 and the second was recently taken in August 2014.

What I did was to compare between the two and see the excitements at the entrance holes.

Have a look at the two and tell me if you think there were some improvements.

Taken in late 2012:

Taken recently in August 2014

I am honored to be involved with this BH but I must say that it was not an easy task.

The BH is situated deep inside a rubber plantation area and the access road were not proper.

Every time I visit the BH my car will be scratched by those twigs.

The pot hole on the red clay road were also not helping.

The owner seems to have this thinking that since I was engaged to erect the BH I am oblige to look after it forever without any fee to cover my expenses.

The number of nests are growing and I hope it will reach the target soon.

The Monkeys Are Damaging Those Figs Trees !!!

(This young shoot was plugged away by those monkeys)

Pretty upset to know that those young Figs trees at Kapar BH were being chewed by those wild monkeys.

The owner did warned me about the monkeys nuisance.

They seems to be roaming around the area and will eat anything chew able.

The best are those fruit trees and their young shoots.

This was what exactly happened with my Figs trees.

All those beautiful young shoots were plugged away and not the tree have to start all over again.

Disappointed but will not do harm to my spirit.

This time around I have decided to cover the trees with coconut tree leaves.

Cut about two for each plant and make it into a fence to protect the young shoots.

I pray hard that it will work.

If still eaten away, I might advise the owner to get those wires mesh to protect all the six young trees.

Let see what happen during my next trip to this BH.

More Calls Asking For Me To Get To Their BH Locations !!!

(One of the BH in Termerloh with so many tweeters hung with those so called aroma)

Two more calls asking me to schedule my time for another inspection services.

One was from Tawau Sabah and the second came from Termerloh, Pahang.

Each has three clients that have some kind of interest to use my expertise.

The Tawau trip will be land inspections plus viewing inside a new BH.

The Termerloh visit  have something to do with BHs whose owners were conned by a so called Dr from Perlis.

All the tree BHs were not producing adequate number of nests after nearly 2-3 years into operation.

The organizer planned to have me over this week end and make a full investigation how to reactivate them.

Anything that can be done by them they will be done themselves and those that need my personal touch will be carried out by me and my workers.

I think this will be another fun time to see how these BHs were designed and hanged with lots of those so called aroma.

Will write a report on each BH once visited.

My main intention is to lay out all the mistakes so that all of you can learn and avoid those mistakes.

The Tawau trip will be scheduled soon and hopefully in early September.

I will fix the trip and will let you all know when I will be going.

If you wish to join any of the above trip let me know.

Come and enjoy the fun of visiting lots of these new places.

Nothing can be more exciting then to enter or visit those places and see what I do there.

Kapar BH: Sound Distribution Seems To Be Affecting This BH !!!

On Friday August 15th 2014, I dropped by at Kapar and  inspected a BH with weird entrance hole location.

The owner allowed me to hold to the BH keys and told me to drop by any time that I am free.

I took the task to revamp this BH about 3 months ago.

My intention was to carry out the NKS (Nest Kick Start) operation.

The NKS is my pattern right idea in helping a new BH with little nests to quickly populate it.

Please read these two articles:

NKS 1:  Lets Get Ready To NKS !!! 

NKS 2 :   NKS: You Have To Assist Your Tenants To Build Their Nests !!!

I was tracing for any new bird shit spots on the floor and at the same time any saliva markings on the nesting planks or internal sound tweeters.

The owner joined the operation since he wanted to learn more about the NKS idea.

What I discovered was the pattern of nests marking on this particular floor.


It seems that there were more markings and more nests at the hall as compared to the VIP room.

Nearly 80% of those internal sound playing tweeters at the hall areas were with nests or markings.

I asked the owner if he observed the same?

His answer was yes and he asked me why?

I told him to do these things:

First I asked him to listen to the sound.

I specifically asked him to compare the sound volume at the hall area and the sound volume at VIP room.

He quickly took a walk around and he came back and confirmed what I wanted him to know.

"Yes Pak Harry the sound volume in the hall area is louder than the VIP room." he confirmed my theory.

I quickly told him that it should be the other way round.  The sound inside the VIP room should be louder and the Hall area lower.

I told him that once we finished the NKS operation on the top floor we shall check or perhaps correct the sound distribution.

After completing the NKS operation I took him to the data room and I told him exactly what I wanted to do and asked him to climb up to check if the reverse happened (sound volume).

What I did was to switch the cable that was connected to the left side of the amplifier outlet to the right side and vice verse.

He came down and told me that yes now the sound inside the VIP room was louder as compared to the Hall areas.

I stressed to him why I wanted the VIP room sound to be louder.

My main reason was to teach him something about those swiftlet behaviour.

When any new couple enter your BH they will immediately locate the loudest playing, clearest sound, tweeter.  This will become their favourite spot in the whole house, unless something is not proper (too bright).

If there is a group of birds that entered at the same time, the leader of the group will take the loudest making sound tweeters.

His macai will take the next tweeters with the loudest sound.

So if you wanted them to occupy the top floor you make your top floor sound to be the loudest.

Soon once you are happy with that floor you can then concentrate to pull them to the next floor.

Just by manipulating the sound volume you can actually push them where you want them to make their nests.

If you think that I am lying just try this simple idea and proof that I am wrong.!!!!

Let us bet on this and I think you will loose.

Call me at 017 7551318 if you wish to know more about why they love those loud sound.

Karak BH: Something That I Wanted Not To Remember !!!

In 2012 I was awarded a job to erect this BH in Karak and promised to complete the job within 7 months.

Since I was not familiar with the construction and deals with hardware suppliers I appointed an old friend with some experiences in BH construction.

He was from Segamat and the BH was in Karak.

He started well but along the way he was awarded another job in Johor.

This was when my problem with him started.

He channeled some or most of the monies that was supposed to be used for Karak BH to his new job.

Every time he called he will be demanding for money.

Some time he threatened to abandon the job if he is not paid within 24 hours. WTF.  24 hours notice is simply unfair I told him.

I never paid late and all previous payments were based on the agreed payment schedule.

In the meantime the weather was not very friendly either.  Nearly the whole 7 months during the construction period it pours and pours.

Some of the days nothing can be carried out when the rain went haywire.

The road leading to the BH was getting clogged with pits and one land owner, in between the main road and the BH under construction, started a war on me and my contractor.

He erected a steel gate and pad locked the steel gate until we do something about the road.

In the beginning I ordered about 12 trucks of crusher runs but after showing some improvements the land owner was still not satisfied.

He locked  the gate again.

This time he demanded another 10 lorry loads of crusher run.

My budget went crazy and if he demanded so I will be running at a big loss.

I took some gut to talk to the BH owner and told her about my situation.

I pleaded with her to negotiate with the rough guy or else I will stop work.

She decided to talk to the land owner and agreed to order another 10 trucks of crusher run, paid herself.

The situation improved and those heavy loaders managed to enter with those bricks and cement.

The BH contractor gave more problems and finally completed for me to install the nesting planks and sound system.

Well when things looks good the solar system was not performing to the required specifications.

It stopped very often.

The supplier recommended for an upgrade from one panel to two and added another battery.

The BH now is doing alright but the time have come that some thing have to be done about the BH humidity.

With solar system there was not adequate power to operate those humidifiers.

My recommendation to the owner was to install a number of water ponds on each floor.

I hope I can be of help but the nests numbers are now getting better and better as compared to the other BH very closed to this BH.

Karak Dual Entires BH Belonging to Mdm Lim !!!

(A dual entries BH in Karak)

A BH that operate using solar energy at Karak, Pahang.

I hope you all can remember this BH.

I was given the task to erect from scratch and so far the BH is doing not bad.

It was specially designed with two entrance holes, the top entry and the monkey house at one end of the building.

It also have this elevated roof on the top most floor.

Yesterday I took some trouble to drop to change the amplifier.

The old unit was not performing well and I have decided to test the new amplifier fit for solar powered BH.

The moment the new amplifier and new sound was played the BH became obsessed.

I am very sure that they went crazy since I have never changed the sound for many many months.

The owner have some strange behavior and I shy away from dropping by her BH.

Every time I dropped by to inspect the BH she will pay me with those papayas and sour sop fruits.

The free maintenance period was over and I told her to consider accepting my small monthly fee for me to drop by.

She hang on it and never make any attempt to consider.

Then when the sound went crazy, blurry sound, she contacted me asking for help.

"Untie have you read and consider my proposal?"  I asked.

"Untie I need to travel almost one hour up and down plus those toll fee and carry out jobs for your BH and you wanted it to be free forever?"  I asked her.

I also told her that he BH need some major maintenance works especially in the BH wetness.

Due to the power supply I recommended for the water pond using those plastic pools.

Each floor need at least two pools.

Any way after upgrading the amplifier and played some new sounds those birds went crazy.
