To lure yr neighbors birds using songs is just too slow. Why not use a dispenser to spray Chanel 5 perfume at his entrance hole or train a few owls to visit his bh in the evening. Rest assured yr mum's bh nest count will increase in double quick time. Tried and tested method widely used in Timbuktu.
Human greed knows no bound!!!

Just yesterday I read a post by our very own m'sian swiftlet idol cum adviser cum passionate enthusiast about how he convinced a newbie to build a standalone bh on his piece of land after testing the area with good macros even telling him he is onto a goldmine with the possibilty of making the area into an ecopark.
And here comes the THE SHIT..... HAVE THIS BH BUILT AND GET
READY FOR THE TOWN BHS TO BE KICKED OUT.
THat post has been taken off possibly he sensed his mistake. He had been an adviser to a number of town bh owners n getting well paid for his services.
Imagine paying good money to him to tell u get ready to be kicked out n he is laughing all the way to the bank.
How do u describe such a hypocrite ? Just beware of this guy born with distorted genes.
There u go on consultants , advisers !!!

Hi swiftcurrent
Would appreciate very much if u could kindly recommend the type gun n glue used.
TQ.

Frankly speaking we r v lucky to have Senor West Wing n perhaps some forumers here to guide us on swiftlet matters. Theres no arrogance shown on his part even with his vast experience unlike some so called sifus. Newbies like us cant thank him enough. Blessings to u WW.
Thru observations maint. work can be carried out late morning onwards till maybe 2 pm. Not to worry about ur old birds they r "eternally" yours, its the new birds we r trying to pull in. One thing I found out . Presence of broken eggs or dead young chicks on the floor. Our sudden presence in the bh startled them causing this, I dont know but maybe. Thats the reason not to enter ur bh frequently as all sifu preached.
Happy Good Friday
