People are assuming that swiftlets prefers these buildings due to its mustiness and aged smell which is similar to the dark caves that had been their habitat for long.

However, due to continuing observations of swiftlets enthusiast, these attributes such as darkness, humidity, roving spaces that attract swiftlets can be applied in the building new bird houses to attract these birds to build their precious nests.
