Allowing the birds to grow will provide for a few advantages. Firstly, the ecosystem will not be affected and the life cycle of the swiftlet will be kept intact.
Secondly, allowing the swiftlets to fully mature before harvesting the nests will mean the swiftlets will have a familiar resting place. This will make them feel comfortable in the bird house. Being comfortable in the location means the swiftlets will be more willing to continue staying in the same habitatnd maybe choose to continue breeding at the same place. This will ultimately contribute to the success of the birdhouse, as more and more birds will appear.
Patience is a virtue! Love nature! Take care of our natural resources.
Some of your ceiling is painted black, some is white, which one do you really reccommend?
ReplyDeleteHello Tweeter,
ReplyDeleteThe ceiling colours do not make a difference to the success of the birdhouse. The black ceiling may be conducive to create a dark environment. However, it is important to allow the paint smell to dissipate before preparation of the house to welcome swiftlets.
