One of a very unique Swiftlet farm in the Northern of Perak. It was purposely built on top of a river. This environment has good vegetation.The food supply for the Swiftlet will always be sufficient.
The quality of nests would be good and the control of the micro environment is easy as the surrounding is good. So selecting a good location for Swiftlet Farming is very important as it will
affect other criteria of a good and successful Swiftlet farm.
Below is a video of a Swiflet Farm also located in Perak belongs to a friend of mine "Chee Wooi". It has just started about 2 weeks plus. The farm attracted lots of birds as you can see from this video. The birds are eagerly wanting to enter the farm without any fear.....................................................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................................................
This is what we called "Free Flow" . Currently the are many birds staying at the farm from looking at the patches of birds dropping and it keep on increasing. Free Flow mean the design of the farm accommodate the flying path of birds.
The Birds chirping Cd sound is good and it attracts many birds to come and play ...................................................................................................................................................................
This is the most important for newly opened farm. Not only we want the birds to come and play but we also want the birds to enter the farm and stay at the farm. ............................................................................................................................................................................
If the birds decided to stay the chances of them building nests are high. If they only come and play without entering the farm that mean there are problems with the farm. Some of the problems are, the entrance, the size, the position,micro environment,etc................................................................................................................................................
If you observe closely there is a pooling speaker at the roof of the farm. The sound from this pooling speaker will promote your newly built farm to birds. As the CD sound could travel far. ............................................................................................................................................................................
You may also use the DIY long distance speaker (PVC Type) which I had posted here earlier. So for a good farm everything has to be balance be it internally or externally.
