Remember the article I wrote
" This Is what You call a Well Known Consultant" 4 months ago. This Bh's owner called me last weekend and asked me to have a look at his Bh which I had revamped in December 2011.
"James could you come to my Bh, at the same time please bring along your some new External sound collection". This was what Mr.M said in an exciting mood.
" James, come and see it yourself those areas that have no birds shit for 2 years now have many birds shit spots. It is a good sign?".
Well Mr.M sounds Innocent....
Just to refresh those who have not read about the previous article here are some of the information. This Bh was built by a local well known consultant. It has less than 4 nests after 2 years and only few spots of birds shits and most had dried-up.
(The above picture before revamp. The entrance hole is too small for this Bh ( other Bh may be different)
(Now after the revamp. With New Tweeters arrangement)
After the revamp I advise him to use Love potion every 3 weeks once . Spraying them on the walls of the nesting area and roving to attract young birds to come and stay. This has to be done continuously if he wants to see good result. I told him you have learned a lots from me now and you have had experienced the stress and frustration before. Don't repeat the same mistake again. He followed exactly what I had told him and now just after 4 months this was the result. Never in that last 2 years he saw so many New nest markings and Birds shits in his Bh. Only after the revamp the birds shits were everywhere and there were many new nests markings.
(Before revamp)
(Now with New sound system set up)
The tweeters were added to reflect a surround sound environment. Few weeks after the revamp he calls often and inform me about the progress of the Bh. " James there are many birds flying into my Bh. This is the first time I see so many birds flying in. They like the Gs 9 sound and the Hypnotic internal sound. The Love Potion is fantastic I will continuous to use it."
Mr. M had used many Aromas from the market before he knows me. He only started to use Love Potion intensively after the revamp. He told me he will never ever use other Aromas except Love Potion because seeing is believing. Look at his Bh now.
(Before revamp. Before the walls were knocked down )
(After revamped, wall knocked down to make new second entrance)
The wall was knocked down to create a bigger entrance so that the birds could maneuver easily. Most who build Bh never take this into consideration.
(The Bird shits with feathers)
(more than 50 spots of bird shits most with feathers Indicating birds had stayed)
The birds shits were everywhere all over the places not just a section. It shows the whole micro, sound, aroma were at perfection. Commonly most shits would be located at certain sections or areas of a Bh but for Mr. M 's Bh it was different every sections were equally good having many new nest markings and shits. This happened after the revamp, for 2 years Mr.M had never experienced or seen such thing this is the first time. He felt very indebted to me ...you know why because taught him so many things and the second time I visited his Bh the consultation is FREE!
(New nest marking)
(New nests marking)
The Birds had made this Bh their homes. Now it is all up to how well Mr.M could manage his Bh to push up the number of nests and the population. I told him to be smart and know what Aroma and sound could be use. Don't simply use Aroma and Sound that are not familiar with as there are so many Aromas and sounds in the Market and most of them have not done researches prior to production and it would harm and damage the Bh' internal environment.
(New nests marking on both sides of the corners)
(Birds shit are everywhere)
( Unbelievable so many birds shit spots.All over. All with feathers.)
(Most of the Birds shit spots are very thick, indicating potential in increase of nests and population)
These are not normal Birds shits. There are new, thick and have many feathers. Thru my experiences nests will form above all these shits spots. Look at the pictures of the new nests marking. It clearly indicates the birds had stayed and make nests.
(The shit spots are getting thicker)
(first time in 2 years Mr.M see so many Birds shit spot and new nests markings).
Mr. M is one happy person now. He asks me why people with so little knowledge about swiftlet farming could be consultant? I replied, well you have to ask them yourself not me No comment. He admits he was one of those innocent victims.
I believe if one followed what needed to be done in Designing, equipments use, measurements and requirement of certain standard also using the right Aroma (Love Potion) and Sound. No matter what the Bh won't goes wrong. But after having visited so many Bhs for the last 5 years sad to say so 80% of Bh is built without following or understanding what birds wants.
Good Swiftlet farming All!
