For Testing Where Should You Select The Ceiling Box ???

I have never mentioned any where about where is the best location for the nesting box to be selected.

Well if your BH is pretty new and there are not many birds entering, I suggest you selected the testing box slightly closed to the entrance hole.

For a BH which are already with a sizable number of birds, it can be anywhere especially in the room where the population is the least.

The logic are as follows:

For any new BH the house still have those strong smell of the cement. The birds need longer time to familiarise with the house. They takes time to move from the entrance areas into the roving then from roving to the nesting and to the back.

If you can choose a box in the middle of the BH and at one corner. The distance from the door at the roving areas must be about 5-10 meters away.

Try not to locate one that is too far at the back of the house. This will be less effective since the birds need to get use to the new BH.

For a BH with lots of tenants you may want to choose a box in one of the rooms that are not heavily populated. I mean the worst among all the rooms in the BH.

Main reason being if they like the aroma these birds that have yet to built their nests will be flocking into this room. Of course other new birds, if they are attracted to the aroma, will be staying in the room too.

When there is a sudden surge of bird shits found on the floor, after aroma application, you can easily determine the effectiveness of the aroma.

So try to follow the above advise and it will be interesting if they hang on the walls too.....
