2. Choose an effective place to raise bird's nest:

2.1. Avoid noisy areas that make loud noises:

You need to meet many different factors to be able to build a successful bird nest house. However, the most effective way to build a bird's nest house is to choose a secluded place that does not emit loud sounds around. These are industrial parks, factories, or overcrowded residential areas that affect the main food source of swiftlets. Because swiftlets are wild animals and like quiet, the way for swiftlets to choose a place to live is an area similar to the nest's habitat in the natural environment.

Avoid polluted industrial zones to raise bird's nest effectively

The most ideal place to place a bird's nest is near fields, bushes, the sea, rivers, lakes, etc. These places will create favorable conditions for the bird's nest to find prey, which are insects such as termites, flies, mosquitoes or chafers, ladybugs, small bugs, dragonflies, moths, silk wings and locusts, especially bees and ants (the favorite food of the bird's nest).

2.2. When building a bird's nest house, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

  • When choosing a location for a bird's nest house, people should consider the factors of air, humidity, temperature, wind direction, etc. then compare it with the bird's nest's requirements to see if it is suitable or not.
  • In Vietnam, the three regions of North Central, Central, and Southern are places where swiftlets can live and nest. However, the wind directions of these three regions are different, the North Central region has North winds, the South Central region has Southwest winds, the South has West and Southwest winds. Adjusting the wind direction at the door is the most effective way to attract swiftlets. The ideal temperature for bird nests is from 27 - 32 degrees Celsius, humidity from 75 - 90%.
  • You absolutely do not build a bird's nest house at an altitude exceeding 1000m above sea level. Because after giving birth, swiftlets will fly to places with lower altitudes. Currently, the height recommended by experts to build bird's nest houses is under 500m.
  • You should build a bird's nest house in a place with large land so the birds can fly around. There should be a small gutter around the wall to keep ants away. Avoid building a bird's nest near the nest or habitat of eagles, kestrels, crows, etc. because these species like to eat bird's meat, will scare the bird and fly away. In addition, the place to build a bird's nest must be close to where the bird's nest lives. You can also choose a place to place the bird's nest about 5 to 8km from the cave where the bird is living..
  • Besides, this place is the flight path of swiftlets or the place where swiftlets often go to look for food. You can use call recordings to lure swiftlets to live. And when they fly into the house, the swiftlets see that the living conditions are suitable and stay. Every day, the sound of the swiftlets calling each other will attract more swiftlets to nest.
