One reader PM me on the subject on sound changes and my advice to him are as follow:

As for consultant telling you to change sound every 4 months is either is that he doesn't understand the reason why well or just to make money from you and I will advice you to use the sound as long as it pulls in the birds. Only change when the sound doesn't excite the new birds which you are hopping for right?? New Birds and not the old faithful ones who will be faithful to you even if you play MC Hammer.  Luckily they didn't ask you to renovate your BH; maybe they told you that the birds will get fedup with the old look lah.

My advice is to change when require to and not every 4 months even if it's only 1 months or 1 years. If the sound doesn't work, then it's isn't a good sound even it's been tested well at another location cos' your location's birds maybe different. Like in Rome, don't speak Bahasa. Never look at the price tag of the sound, if it pull in the birds, then it's a good sound otherwise, it's bad even if it cost you a thousand ringgit to buy.

Anyone disagree with me, pls post it here so that we all will learn as even an old man like me also learn; " Live to Old, learn to Old" as the saying goes.

Hi WW,

Normally when play new sound, a lot of bird will come and play. But after a while, the number of birds will reduce. Have you encountered this before? If yes, do you change the sound or check any increase in new nest before you change the sound?

Thanks

APR56,

Thanks for wanting tp be part of this experiment.

So far, the aroma challenge prize is RM10k.

Contributors welcome.

Aroma promoters will make a fortune through the publicity gained if their aroma truly works. We will separate the real ones from the fakes. If it works, all farmers would benefit tremendously. If it doesn't work, then we farmers have been taken for a ride for far too long.

Hi Coolandy,

I like your idea. I suggest to try out on 2 BH. 1 at East coast and the other at West Coast M'sia.

I used filtered water for my Ultrasonic Humidifier to reduce the water impurities to minimum.

I just read about "Force Harvest" posted by H****. I read this interesting phrase

"I think you should thank the burglar, my friend. Try to look at the good side of the coin. Once your BH is being burglarized, you should be very proud of it. You are now the chosen one. "

Immediately I was about to tell him, let everybody know your exact BH address. Tell them help you to do force harvesting. Then happily and proudly tell them "YES, I AM THE CHOSEN ONE".....
