My Loyal Reader Needs my Opinion

I received an email from one of my loyal reader from Kelatan, Encik M. He is very excited about his new farm and it is now almost completed.

He had emailed me many times to ask my opinion about his soon to be farm. I said send me your design and pictures I will let you know my opinion.

Here are the pictures of his farm, a bungalow unit. It looks attractive isn't it? It is 90% completed.

As you could see a Hexagonal Tweeters on the roof. Well the position of the Hexagonal tweeter should be placed at around the Dog Kennel.

Best of all I had asked him to allow me to post his farm design & pictures on my blog so that all readers could share it.

Below is the design, Obviously the roving area is too small , a bigger roving would be much better.

The inter room hole is too small too. There are two entrance holes at the dog kennel which most people would do that if later more swiftlets are using one of them then the other one shall be closed.

Well my opinion, Ok mine, my opinion! Other sifu may have theirs. I don't believe in two entrance Holes I believe one should know very well already where is the best entrance hole should be placed.

If you have two entrance holes that's mean you are uncertain and you have doubts about your own opinion.

Of course many still choose to have two entrances, well let it be. I understand from him that the stair case will be the inter hole. If possible hack a hole at the appropriate place. For staircase inter hole it takes a long time for birds go down.

Heat is the problem with this farm as you could see he is using orchard netting to reduce heat. I guess initially at the beginning of the construction works he should have built walls that could reduce heat (insulation, wall thickness,etc)

For this farm more ventilation holes are needed. Making sure it is placed at the strategic area to have the effectiveness.

I guess his advantages is his farm's location. Located in Kelatan , a Swiftlets Prime Zone area any farm build there will easily attracts birds, even some farms that have the worst design still could attract birds to nest but population will be stagnant.

Well all are welcome to ask and give comment , there are no right or wrong when asking question , all are welcome please email me. swifjames@yahoo.com Thank you.
