4. The video shows larger and more bird droppings after 6 months.

BH 1. Verdict

One of the most exciting things is to open up your multi-padlocked new BH and find very satisfying results. However that works both ways, you can end up discovering a near empty BH that you just spent hundreds of thousands of ringgit on.


1. January 2011, satisfying results, about 60 spots of swiftlet droppings in the new BH that started 'tweeting' for about 2.5 months.

BH 1. Interior Design

Ever since paying tens of thousands of ringgit to so called "CON"sultants to advise on the interior design of BH, I've learned it the slow and hard way. Successful design require hours of brainstorming and hardwork.


1. Wooden planks for swiftlets to cling onto, this is where they make their nests and hatch babies. :D


2. Tweeters being installed.


3. Entrance opening, in layman's term this is where the birds enter the BH.


4. My cheap-ass audio equipment.


5. Outside view.
