Many wonder and cracking their heads to find out the reasons "why birds are playing outside the entrance hole but didn't enter the farm". Some even asked me "few weeks or months ago there were many birds entering the farm and stayed". There are increasing in spot of bird' dropping but suddenly all birds only playing outside.
.
These were the questions asked by my readers. Well of course there are reasons behind all situations or problems. There wouldn't be smoke if there is no fire. So we must find out where is the fire.
Looking for the fire is not easy, so does finding the problems that affecting or preventing birds from entering the farm.Few of the main reasons are predators in farm. There big lizard, rats, etc. All these would frighten the birds thus making fear to go into the farm.

If your farm facing the same scenario makes sure you get rid of them. But most of the time farm' owners may not know the reason. Some may even tell me that "I had checked it but no sign of predators" but when I visited their farms I could show and pin point all the signs of predators exist.

Another is the presence of Owls and Bats. After these creatures entered the farms and left .The birds still could sense the odors of these creatures making them fear. Sometimes after the predators left it takes few weeks to get the Swiftlets back into the farms especially for new farms.
.

So never allow all these predators into yr farm if you could. Always take preventive measure, have a good pest control before your new farm started the sound of your new farm.
Good luck!
