Likes & Dislikes



What do they commonly like?

- Like corners. They like to build nests at the corners of the nesting area.

- Like tweeters. Their choice of nest normally will be near to the tweeter. Maybe they feel safer by doing so.

- Usually they like darker area.

- They like to play around the new BH due to curiosity (with new sound) but will only build nest after staying for quite a while (provided the micro & design is ok).

- They will be much happier if we could provide fake nest to assist them (young birds) making nest.

- They like spacious roving area and rooms.

- They like well-managed BH.

- They prefer frequent taller BH.

- They like rainy days. (Finding food easier,…)

- How about you add some points here?



What do they commonly dislike?

- They fear of aerosol and knocking noise.

- They do not make nests at brighter area. We must control the light in our nesting rooms.

- They hate predators : owls, gecko, lizard, mouse, snake etc.

- They do not prefer obstruction or narrow flying space in a new BH. Sometimes accident may happen and may cause fatality. Ensure smooth flying is necessary.

- Dislike ambient temperature too warm (>32 °C) or too cold (lower than 28 °C)

- How about you add some points here?


Above is only my humble personal opinion. Do correct me if I am wrong.
