QUOTE(West Wing @ Nov 30 2011, 04:15 PM) You got to have K nests to be self dependence cos without the K nests at your BH, you shall always be at the mercy of the nearby successful BHs and if they are not producing, these BHs are even sharing your fledged birds and you lose to them as their BHs are older and they draw in your birds better and faster than you. What come out of your BH is share among all BHs in your area and you are infact taking the smallest share being the late comer. Does this mean that even if your BH is with the best condition, most of your fledging birds are going to move to an old nearby BHs anyway ? What is the percentage of the new birds stay in their original BH in this case ? Thank you.

QUOTE(northface @ Dec 8 2011, 10:37 AM) I have a dilemma here, today I was picking out some nests out of my stash for gift to friends, and I noticed there were ants ALL OVER my nests. I keep my nests in a well ventilated space, but not refrigerated in those big plastic boxes. The ants are common household ants, the tiny ones that emit a smell when you squash them. Since to my knowledge ants don't eat bird's nest, then why are they all over my nests? Any sifus enlighten me? Ants LOVE birdnests. Every time we do the cleaning of the nests by just using pressured- air blowpipe to get the dust out before using the water and many small pieces of the nests come out , in no time there would be all kinds of ants coming out for those. I guess this is one proof that birdnest is not just good for only emperors, even the more innocent and ancient lower species with no brain still know what is good for them.
