Bird House at Koh Kong.

Koh Kong province,

I just back from Koh Kong provice. At Srok Srai Ambil, i saw one bird house (BH) that already run about 1 year more.

The BH owner say that there are about 200 birds live in his house now.

First time, this is an abandon house for long time and saw the bird live in this house so he decide to buy this house and convert to a BH.

I ask him some question about how to build BH and wher he learn this about BH. He say that he study from his relative at Shihanouk Ville. He didn't say anything about BH, seem like he don't want to share anything about BH to anyone. He just say "I know how to build BH, if you want to build i can do for you, just pay money is enought".

What do think if consultant say like that to you? Do you believe that he can do a good job for you?
I have experient from Malaysia, the consultant alway say "I can do it, i know how to do this job" but 70% of bird house in Malaysia is fail. My idea is you have to think it carefully before you choose someone to be your consultant. You have to make sure that the consultant must have knowledge and can share anything about this work with you. Some consultant will go away from you after they got your money.

Alots of new birdhouse come out everyday.

Kuala Selangor,

This is a new place for BH coz alots of BH is a new and some is just start to build the building.
Why do they start to build BH at that area?

1/ This is a new place so they can got more bird to stay in a BH faster than another.
2/ This is a food source area.
3/ This a safe place noone complaint.
4/ This isa flying path for them so easy to lure a young bird to live.


I hope before you decide to build a BH you will choose a right place and build a big BH like this.


Wish you all have a big luck with this business.

A colourful bird house in Perak

Perak,



This is a bird house with colour. Do you believe this is a BH or not?



I was so strange when i saw a house with a colour like this and i ask my Sifu " is it a bird house?"



After we stop a car we go into the restaurant beside the birds and meet 2 people who respond for the bird house come to great us and talk to each other.



They ask us to buy the ticket to go into the BH, wow the BH for visit. I was so strang that this is a BH for tourist or someone who want to see the real BH at the inside.





This is a joking place but it is really a BH.




I hope i can go to visit this BH again next time. This is the place that teach me how to install the BH for inside and location that i should choose to build a BH for next time.
