What is a best time to conduct a Bird Call test?


I heard about this question and wanted to know about it since long ago..Some say 10 am, some say 12 pm, 3 pm and never pass 5 pm etc.....After doing many, I personally view it as it is not a matter of what time, but what sound. If you have the wrong sound, it does not matter what time you do it, bird will not be attracted, it does not depend on the test duration too.
When we wanted to do this test, we only have one objective: whether the place is suitable to set up a farm. And to compare which location is a better location.
I believe this is the reason why a friend of mine only attracted one bird after half an hour test, but insisted of starting up a standalone farm, but became successful. I believe he might have used the wrong birdcall test sound.
However, the more tests we do at different time, the more accurate is the test. This is particularly right for a foraging area, the birds will spend their day at these areas.
Once upon a time, I heard a birdcall test charge is about RM500 for an outstation place like an hour drive away...Wow! what a business!
