Testing

Dear all sifus

Trying to post here a few times but failed. Old folk trying to learn up computer. Yes, I am a niewbie. Ihave a 9 mths BH located at non hotspot area. 2 storey shophouse corner unit. Renovated by a friend- Con sultant. Why Con sultant? cos promised alot but deliver kosong roti. No aroma apply, no humidifier, no thermostat. Only constructed the entrance hole (open roof), NP, tweeters, internal & external sound, amplifier and open 4 tiny ventilation holes at the side wall near the roof. He was th e one who suggested double brick wall but ended up covering the window planes. When my BH was in operation the temp/hum at 1st floor 29/68. I complained. He then left the taps run. After a few weeks I went and check and my God the 1st floor was flooded & my NP at Grd flr got mouldy. After a few complained he promised to change all the affected NP but ended up just wipe off with a pc of cloth. So irresponsible. Initially and accordingly to him, my BH is OK cos just 12 weeks in operation there are 6 traces of nests (some already have the shape) & 12 piles of shits. 5 mths - 12 full nest (all in 1st flr). Operated using all natural ways - no high tech. But the growth is very slow now. 9 mths now only 22 nests. Made a manual count fr 7 to 7.45 pm only 51 swiftlets flew in. Now my problem is my once beautiful white nests are broken at the center. How come? Dear Sifus I am worried and please advise. Friends asked how come you have more nests on 1st flrand only 2 on grd flr. Birds prefer grd flr more as it is darker and cooler. How to increase the humidity? Now my Con sultant friend has place a self made humidifier but it didnt help much.

My grd flr is worst. No ventilation holes at all. Very stuffy smell. At the moment I have install a humidifier and the reading is 30/86 at this time of the yr. Only 2 nests. Last week found 3 dead birds at grd flr and 1 at 1st flr. Very sad lah.

My 2nd BH also not in hot spot is 3.5 mths. Also renovated by same Con sultant cos no choice. Double shophouse. Renovated only 1st flr. DK type. This time double brick wall. Temp/humidity OK cos this place is much cooler. Also kosong roti - no aroma, no humidifier. Recorded a few patches of shits 3 weeks ago - very happy and left hurriedly. Last Sunday went to check again and I almost fainted. I have left 2 flourescent lights on for 3 weeks (day & night) and all my new visiting birds have left me high and dry. I am lost for words. I need help badly. How to lure back those birds? Real helpless. Please help. Thanks and hope this time I am able to post this message.
