Bird Sound

You can have a bird house built perfectly according to the swiftlet requirements. The temperature is right, the humidity is good and everything according to the expert’s knowledge. However, how do you get the swiftlets to come in?

Well, just imagine a newly open restaurant, the food is delicious, the place is clean and the environment is good. But how to let customers know about the restaurant? The restaurant owner might have to advertise in the newspapers, radio or even television.

For a bird house the only way to advertise to the swiftlets is to use external sound. A good external sound will be like a good advertisement which can attract a lot of customers.

Then are all the external sounds the same? No, there are a lot of different external sounds available in the market and the effectiveness of the external sound also depends on the location of the bird house. One good and effective external sound at one area might not be good and effective in another area.

The best way is to get a few good external sounds then try one first. If the sound is not effective, then try another one. Try until an effective sound is found then keep it for a few months to attract the swiftlets down to the bird house.

As for my bird house, the first external sound that I used was not effective. So a second external sound was used. I am still monitoring the effectiveness of the second external sound. This is a trying stage and might need a few tries before getting the correct sound.
