Where To Attach The Internal Tweeter ?

First of all, i want to wish all my reader a Happy New Year and sorry for not post any article this few day due to very busy to finish all in hand project and closing my end year account.
I received a lot of sms that asking where is the best place to attach the internal tweeter and why ? So today i want to share with you about this issue.
1) I prefer to attach the internal tweeter at the corner board ! You can verify it by my old posting pictured.
Why ?
Because all the bird that going to stay at our BH is young bird. They will find that is easy to built a nest at the corner then the middle !!! They can built it more faster so we can produce more bird in one year time right !!!!!!!
2) How many tweeter that need to attach at the nesting area ?
As many as you can. Normally , i will attach about 100 with the size of 20 feet X 60 feet.
Why ?
Because one tweeter only can share with 2 bird only. If you attach only 4 tweeter, then you just can attract only 8 bird in one time !!! So how long it take to make your BH full house ????? But if you attach 100, then in one time, you can attract 200 bird, so by calculation, in 1 year time , you can attract about 600 bird. In 3 year time, your BH will be full house !!!!!!

New Operated Swiftlet House

Finally, we start to operated a new converted swiftlet house. This House is located at Kebun 500 , about 30 minute drive from Alor Setar town. This BH is about 20 feet x 60 feet.

Before we convert it, the room temperature is about 34 to 40. But after we convert it, the temperature is drop from 26 to 31 only. I did not place any humidity m/c in this house due to the humidity already in the good range 70 to 89.

This is a factory building. We convert from A Furniture factory. We switch on the sound about 930am and only not more then 20 bird are response. But about 730pm this evening, the owner call me and told me about 10 to 20 bird are in the BH Now.

I hope are this new bird will stay there and hope more and more will coming.

More About Swiftlet House in this Kelantan Trip...


From the pictured, you can see this is one of the sick Bird House that i visit during the Kelantan Trip. This swiftlet house is located near Sg Kelantan and have a lot of swiftlet there but no one is enter this house.
The pictured i show is the " Rumah Monyek " or " Dog Kernell " of this house. The size is about 12 feet X 25 feet. The entrance hold is at the middle of this house and have a small pool is attach below it? So what is the problem ?
1) The entrance hold should place at the corner to reduce the light and can make the swiftlet fly with more space.
2) The attach pool make the light reflect when the bird want to come in, they will be scare away.
3) The hold between the floor is too far away and too small only 4 X 5 feet only.
4) The tweeter that the owner place are wrong!
The above is only my opinion of his bird house. If you have any ideal, please sms or emal me. Thank.
