1 year anniversary

Today is the one year anniversary of my bird house. So far only 1 nest but it is a good start. Wasted 9 months without any result with the first consultant. I hope 2010 will be a good year for my bird house.

To new bird house owner, don't get con by your consultant if they keep asking you to wait for the birds to come into the bird house. I listened to my consultant and kept on waiting for 9 months. Based on my experience, if the consultant is good, you should be able to see result within 3 months. If you don't see any result after 3 months, kick the consultant out and replace a new one. I could have saved 6 months of my waiting time.

Mr. Chong told me this morning that the bird nest price has been escalating in the past few months. It is now within RM4.5k to RM5k per kg. Good news for all the bird house owners.

First Nest

Passed by my bird house yesterday, I decided to go into the bird house to take a look even though my appointment with Mr Chong is next month.

Before going into the nesting area, I noticed that my external amplifier was not working. After checking, I found that the plug was loosed. I guessed I might have loosen the plug while installing the cooling fan the last time I was there. O ! no external sound for the past month, I think sure no bird already.

When I went into the nesting area, I saw a bird flying inside. There was not much extra bird shit on the floor. But to my surprise, I saw a bird nest on the timber plank. A full size bird nest!

This proof that even without external sound, the bird which have already visited the bird house will still find its way into the bird house. Without external bird sound I was unable to attract any new bird into the bird house therefore no increase of bird shit on the floor.

Hopefully, when I visit my bird house next month, I will find more nests inside.
