Dog kennel or open roof?
We can choose it all to our liking.
But, we at least should know why we opt for dog kennel not open roof, or vice versa.
Personally, I prefer open roof type of entrance opening, for both standalone & town BH.
The reasons being:
- People won't be so easy to count nos of birds staying inside your BH. So your BH will have more privacy & security. DK type will have no secret, it is more transparent to public where busy body can conveniently guess and estimate the quantity of birds.
- Birds can fly in from any direction, so long as your tweeters are installed correctly. It's better suit beginner who is not familiar with swiftlet flying pattern.
- Some say it gives faster result as it minimise check points for the birds to test before it feels comfortable to enter the inter-hole.
- It is the only entrance accepted by the local authority for town BHs.
- Lesser public complaints & nuisance problem.
However, open roof also has some drawbacks and this is why some quarters choose dog kennel instead.
- Easily broken into by thieves from the opening.
- Take up quite big space as roving area.
- a bit difficult to control brightness.
