Appreciation from a Pioneer "Love Potion "

I was very happy to help many with my Love Potion. After sending me an email yesterday this morning I received a call again from Mr.C of Bagan Serai. I was honored to have spoken with him. Truly a very experienced person and a respectable one and a down to earth person.

.

He wanted to meet up with me and to know me more. I thanked him for his appreciation of Love Potion and friendship. I can not express my satisfaction in words. When people appreciate your hard work and your products it is like on cloud 7.

.

I'm very busy this whole week. Tight up with out standing jobs. Hope everything could be cleared by this weekend. Then I would be in Bagan Serai and the North.

.

Mr.C commented that there are many types of Aroma in the market. If not all, most are like glue or starch type which is sticky. When applied on wall it will leave residue and stain. Even worse if applied on planks it will leave permanent marks.

.

He said it was a brilliant Idea to create Love Potion which is non sticky and watery base that can be used on planks and wall, one type for all purposes. Most in the market are either for plank or wall only and if you mistakenly mixed up it will be a problem. Best of all no stain. Saving time and effort just pour into spray pump and spray. He concern about the conveniences as he has so many farms.

.

I thank him for his comment and I replied “In such challenging world we need to think beyond the common ideas”. Everybody can made Aroma but an effective and good Aroma is hard to make”. "Everybody can build and design a farm but a good successful farm is not easy to make"

.

He laughed and laughed.......and said " Please come to B.Serai I am looking forward to meet up with u".

.

Mr. C has few farms coming up which 3 still under construction.

.

Below is the email from him:

.

Dear James,

.

I salute you for your discovery of your Love Potion. Please allow to me introduce myself.I’m Mr .C…. from Bagan Serai. I am one of those pioneers currently having 23 farms. I am very pessimistic about Aroma. Ten years back I had used Aroma purposely fly to Indonesia to get them. Those days Aroma was like treasure .It is not easily available. After using the result was disappointing.

.

Ever since then to me Aroma was a gimmick. Three weeks ago a good friend of mine gave me a bottle of Aroma without telling me where he gets it from and persuaded me to use it. Since it was free I poured out just 200ml and ask my worker to spray on one corner of my farm.

.

My god, three weeks later there were 30 half cup nests at the spot where my worker sprayed the Aroma.

.

I call my friend immediately and he rushes to my farm. This is how I came to know Love Potion. I would like to buy xxx bottles. Please provide your Bank details so that I can arrange inter account transferring.

Thank you James we need young people like you.

.

Yours faithfully,

.

我是非常愉快幫助了許多用我的Love Potion。 在昨天接到電子郵件以后, 今晨我又收到 Mr. C 從Bagan Serai 的一個电话。 我荣幸與他講了話。 一個非常老練和可敬的人, 一個真實和現實的人。 . 他想约我见面， 想得到跟 多的了解。 我感謝他对Love Potion 友誼的欣賞。 我不可能用詞表達我的滿意。 當人们讚賞您的坚苦工作和產品时它是好像在雲彩。 . 這整個星期我将会 是非常繁忙。堆的满满的工作。 希望一切能在這個週末之前做完。 然后我将会在Bagan Serai和北部。 . Mr.C評論有許多不同的aroma类型在市場上。 如果不是所有，多數是像是稠粘的膠漿或澱粉類型。 當喷射在墙上它將留下殘滓和汙點。 更壞的是，如果喷射在板條上, 它將留下永久標記。他說这Love Potion是一個精采的創造因为它是非稠粘和稀薄的可以使用在板條和牆壁，一個完全符合所有要求的Love Potion。 多數在市場上是或者為板條或僅牆壁，並且， 如果您 錯誤地混合了它將是問題。最好的是完全沒有汙點。省时和省力只须要涌入泵浦和喷射。 因為他有許多農場，他关注便利。 . 我感謝他他的評論， 並且我需要「在共同的想法之外」因为在这个充满挑戰性的世界。 大家能做不同的aroma， 但是有效和好的aroma芳香是难做的」。 " 大家能修建和設計燕屋農場， 但是一個成功的燕屋農場不是容易做的" . 他笑了笑.......並且說" 請來到Bagan Serai我盼望碰見您。 . C先生有几家燕屋農場还有3家在建設中。
以下是從他的電子郵件： . 亲爱的James， . 我致敬您發現的Love Potion。 請允許給我自我介紹。我是C先生. 從Bagan Serai。 我是當前那些先驅之一有23 個燕屋農場。 我对aroma是非常悲觀的。 十年前我得地飛到印尼去得到他們的aroma。 那些年代aroma 就好象是像珍寶。不容易地得到它。 在使用以后結果 是失望的。 . 自然对我来说aroma是个玩。 三個星期前我的好朋友 給了我一個瓶 aroma不告诉我何处得到它和說服我使用它。 因為我得空我倒了200ml並且叫我的 工人在我的燕屋農場 的一個角落噴洒。 我的天， 三個星期以后, 在我工人噴洒 aroma的地方有了30半杯燕巢。 我立刻告诉我的朋友， 並且他衝到我的農場。 這就是我认识Love Potion的来源。 我希望買xxx瓶。 請提供您的银行細節， 以便我可以安排相互帳戶轉移。 谢谢您James我們需要像您的青年人。 . 敬上， .

All you want is nest not the person

I received a call from Mr.D of Taiping early in the morning. Usually I don't switch on my phone unless after 9am. That day I forgotten to switch off my phone.

Mr.D : Good Morning Mr. James, How are you ? Hope I didn't disturb you so early.

Me: Oh no of course not (in fact yes). Where are you calling from and by the way who is on the line.

Mr.D : I am D..... from Taiping. I read you blog with keen interest. I have a farm in Taiping ..... 4 yrs old, I am not satisfy and very sad. No face to see my kakis who have farms.

Me: Y? That is a very very good location. Everybody wants to have a farm there if given an opportunity. That is a good place.

Mr.D : Not so Mr. James. My neighbour's on my right side is harvesting more than 7kgs/month, my friend's farm opposite the road is harvesting 8kgs/month and I only have 100 nests after 4 years.

Me: Have you tried to do something or find out what happened?

Mr.D : For 3 years I had tried everything. I have invited 3 consultants. Did 2 major renovations. 2 of them very famous consultants they are...Mr..and Mr...everybody knows them. The are very famous . U know them?

Me: Ah ya..so? It doesn't matter how famous they are what we want is nest not the famous persons. Are you interested in them or the nests?

Mr: D....wah don't say like that lah. How do I know the are good?

Me : Simple ..their answers will be..EVERYTHING NO PROBLEM, SMALL PROBLEM, LET US DO THE THINKING U DO THE MONEY COUNTING. Then u start to have problem.
You must get the right person to do the job. 1st must have the ability to find out the cause and problem. Then only can solve it. If one can not find the root to the problem then how to solve it right?

Mr: D: You are right. So what is the problem you think?

Me: Ah ya Mr.D.. How can I tell you over the phone before even see your farm. If I can then I no need to do farm visiting lah.

Mr.D : Ok..Ok...Can you come to see my farm? Can you please help me. I really need your help.

Me: Don't say that. Yes, I will help you but I have check my schedule first and plan out my things as I have some farms still under construction.

Mr: D..OK I will wait for your call. Thank you.

Poor Mr.D.. Well I have to plan out my things and pay him a visit and find out what actually happened to his farm.

Thru my experiences there are many cases like this where farms located in a good area with poor result. In most cases if the causes are being identified then solving the problem would be easy. Normally after revamp the favorable result could be easily seen within 3-6 months time.

See you Mr. D........ Don't forget ! All you want is nest not the person.

我清早接到了一個從太平Mr.D的电话。 通常我只会在9am以後才 開我的電話。 那天我忘記关闭我的電話。
Mr.D ： 早安 Mr James，你好吗? 希望我没有那么早干擾您。
我：噢當然沒有, 沒有(實際上是)。您是從那里打来，请问誰在線上。
Mr.D ： 我是D .....從太平。 我讀了您的部落格。 我有一個燕屋農場在太平..... 以 4 年了，我很不滿意和非常傷心。 沒有面見我燕屋農場的朋友。
我：？ 那是一個非常非常好的地點。 大家都想要在那裡有燕屋農場，如果有机會。 那是一個合适的地點。
Mr.D ： 不那么 Mr James。 我右边的燕屋農場邻居每个月有7kgs 的收获h，我朋友在路對面的燕屋農場收穫更多每个月有8kgs, 但是我在4年以后只有100巢。
我： 您是否有做过任何东西或设法找出发生了什么事?
Mr.D ： 3年我嘗試了一切。 我邀請了3位顧問。 做了2個主要整修。 他們2個是非常著名的顧問… Mr…和 …先生…大家都认识他們。 是非常著名的。您认识他們？
我： 啊, 认识. 他們是有多著名不是, 問題是我們要的是燕窝不是名人。 您是對他們的名声或燕窝感兴趣？
Mr. D: 哇…别那样說。 我怎麼知道谁是好？
我： 簡單。. 他們答復將是。. 全部沒有問題， 小問題，讓他們做想法 , 您做金錢計數。 然后您有問題開始的时候。您必须找合适的人做工作。 第1必须有能力发现起因和問題。 然后能只解決它。 如果一個人找不到問題如何解決它呢？
Mr. D ：说的也是。您認為是什麼問題？
我： 啊 Mr.D。 怎麼可以在電話告诉我，在没有看見您的燕屋農場之前。 如果我能, 那我就不需要做燕屋农厂參觀的啦。
Mr.D ： 好。好…您能來看我的燕屋農場？請您幫助我。 我真正地需要您的幫助。
我：别那样說。 是，我將幫助您， 但是我首先要看看我的日记並且 計劃我的事， 因為我仍然有些燕屋農場建设中。
Mr.D ：OK我將等待您的電話。 谢谢。
好残的Mr.D。 我必須計劃我的事和參觀他的燕屋農場和发现實際上发生什麼问题。 通过我的經驗, 有許多象這样的案件, 在一個好區域的燕屋農場但收获是恶劣的。 在許多情况下，如果起因是辨認的然後問題是容易解決。 通常修補以後好的收获可能在3-6個月内就可以看見。再見Mr. D........ 别 忘記! 您要的所有是燕窝不是人。

Building Another Farm

Here is another farm built by me ( just completed). I am kinda interested to build farm in areas that have lots of farms. The reason being I like challenges.

( The one that I build is in the middle....well you guess. ( S.Petani )

It is not easy if you do not have the necessary expertise. Some of these farms here are harvesting many many...kgs per month.

( This is the internal planking formation with 1st grad Meranti)

If not properly done the result will be worst than building in areas that have no birds.

In such area every small and minor things have to be considered and planned before a farm design is being drawn.


The simple question is why must all swiftlets that had being staying in all these pioneer farms for so many years would want to come to your farm to stay and make nest. There must be something that this farm could provide that others can't...... this is the most interesting part.



Secondly with my Powerful Love Potion couple with my farm's design and the ability to control and manipulate the micro. This is not all a good Swiftlet sound that are specially edited,remixed and tuned for this particular area will certainly attract birds to fly into the farm to explore every floors of the nesting areas.



There are many more.............which I can't finish writing here. If you have all these necessary expertise then the chances are no matter how bad the external factors or how good your neighbour's farms you could easily attract certain ..% of their birds.


If you have decided to build a farm in a good area make such you build a good farm.
No point of have a shabby farm in a good area. The result will be " failed farm".

.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


這是我建造的另一個農場(完成)。 我有感興趣在有許多燕屋農場的區域里修建燕屋 農場。原因是我喜歡挑戰。 (我修建的那個在中間….您猜測。 (S.Petani) 如果您沒有必要的專門技術，不是容易。 其中一些這裡的燕屋農場每個月 收穫許多許多…公斤。 (內部鋪板形成, 用的是第1级的Meranti) 的如果不適當 地做結果比在沒有燕 子的區域根差。 在這樣區域， 在得出之前，每件小和較小事必須被考慮和計劃燕屋农厂設計。
簡單的問題是為什麼那些在先驅燕屋農場住了許多歲月而会到您的燕屋農場停留和做巢, 肯定是您的燕屋農場可能提供而其他將燕屋農場做不到的......這是最有趣的部分。 其次是我強力有效的Love Potion加上我燕屋農場的設計和能力来控制和操作屋内环境。 這不是因为有好的引燕聲音特別地被編輯， 再混合， 並且調整為這個 特殊领域一定將 吸引燕子 飛行入您的燕屋農場探索每一层。 有許多是我无法完 全在这里写。 如果您有這些必要的專門技術那么機會是，無論您的屋外环境有多坏 或您邻居的燕屋農場有多么好您可能容易地吸引…%燕子。 如果您决定在一個好區 域修建您的燕屋農場, 必须肯定您的做好您的燕屋農場。 要不然一個坏的燕屋農場在 一 個好的區域。 結果將是" 不合格的燕屋農場"。

It is Dam Simple The Truth It is Dam Hard

One thing most Swiftlet farmers must need to know is that Swiftlet farming looks dam easy to do and the truth is dam hard to be done which most have to swallow.

Commonly most would think that just get a building , close all the windows , open a hole, install some planks, fix the sound system that's about it and wait for the money to pour in.

Sincerely the truth it is not that easy. How many actually did the above and laughing all the way to the bank? I guess none. If yes its just a handful out of thousand. (perhaps pure luck)

Above are some of the scenarios. The problem with Swiftlet Farmers are, they had the tendency to believe in Myth and rumours. Whatever some said something they tend to believe and do without consulting those who have in dept knowledge on this. The result they ended up paying hefty.

If it is so easy then the market failure rate won't be at 80% failed. If it is so easy to rare Swiftlet just like Chickens or Hamsters then there might be billion flying above us everyday even at KLCC.

Swiftlet farming is all about intelligent, believe me. The person must has the ability to observe and notice the slightest changes. HE must has a brain that are flexible in term to catch what swiftlet wants. I had brought a person into a good farm that harvest 20kgs a month. 3 months later he build a farm with what he had observed and knew. Now 2 years later his farm only managed to have 15 nests.

Now Every Tom ,Dick & Harry ( Not that Harry) knew that in order to have a good farm the micro temp must be around 29C ,Rh 80, blar...blar..blar...There are thousand out there where their farms are conformed to such standard but still fail. I had visited so many of this farms.

So what the reason? Call me If am free I might tell you over a cup of tea.

Pls: I've forgotten to mention about farm design which is one of the most decisive factors. Not all farms share the same design. Definitely no duplication. Duplication = fail.

.

"The Love for Swiftlet farming will overcome all obstacles" Do you have the love for it or just for the sack $ that drive you?

Hope the above helps.

Good Luck!

多数燕屋農場主必须需要知道的一件事是表面看起来很容易和真相是多艱苦的。
通常多數將認為有一间店屋，關閉所有窗口，打開入口，安裝有些板條，修理伴音系统, 金錢将会由天掉下来。 其实真相并不是那么简单。 實際有多少个做到以上 的而 且还可以一面笑着进银行？ 我猜是没有。 如果是有它将是極少數從千中之一。 (或許純碎是運氣) 。
燕屋農場主的問題是，他們有傾向相信神話和謠言。他們倾向于相信一些事和做法，无咨詢有在燕业的知識的那些人。結果他們导致支付重的。 如果是容易那么市场 错误率就不会有80%那么高。 如果是很容易如养雞或倉鼠也許有十億之上的燕 子在我們头顶飛行甚而在KLCC。燕屋農場是關於聰明，相信我。 人必需有 觀察能力 和注意最輕微的變動。 他必須有靈活的腦子来捉住燕子想要什麼。 我带了一人进 入一個每月收穫20kgs好的燕屋農場。3個月以后他修建了由他觀察了並且知道的一個有什麼都有的燕屋農場。 现在2年后他的燕屋農場只有15巢。 现在每個Tom，Dick & Harry (不是那個Harry) 知道為了有一個好燕屋農場屋内环境必须在29C， Rh 80，还有其他, 还有其他, 还有其他。现在在外面至少有一千的燕屋農場依照這 樣標準，但是仍然出故障。 我參觀了那么多这样的燕屋農場。 因此是什麼原因？ 打电话给我, 如果我得空也我会許告诉您。 我忘記提及關於是其中一個最决 定性的因素是燕屋農場的設計。 不是所有的燕屋農場分享同一個設計。 確定沒有複製。 複製=失敗。 . " 對燕屋農場的愛將克服所有的困难" 您是否有愛它或您的大袋$ ？ 希望上述幫助。祝您好运!

Pictures of Farms that I build

Below are the pictures of farms that I had built for my readers. No compromises , what needed to be hacked have to be hacked. The criteria is to make a best Swiftlet farm possible.



The above concrete slap obstructed the soon to be entrance hole. Therefore by all means it has to be hacked down. The criteria " no compromise".




This is how it looks like after all had been completed. A Dog Kennel type.




All things have to be removed to make ways for Swiftlet farming.

This is how it looks like after completion. The nesting planks are of 1st grade meranti. You can differentiate it by the color. No matter how high is your humidity 24/7 mold and fungus are history as far as this 1st grade meranti concerned. Once the tweeters are attached then the farm is ready for operation.

The above are the farms that I had built for my readers in Kedah. For those who have not seen a internal farm before this is a good opportunity.

下面是我為我的讀者修建的燕屋農場的圖片。 沒有妥協，什麼需要拆掉將被。 標準是创造一個成為最佳的燕屋農場。

上面天花板是阻礙入口。 所以必須拆掉。 標準" 沒有妥協"。

這是完成之後的样子。 狗洞類型。

必須去除所有的阻礙来完成燕屋農場的方式。

這是完成之後的样子。 板條是第1级的meranti。 您能由顏色區分它。 無論您的濕氣是24/7模子和真菌是不成问题，只要這第1级的meranti有關。 一旦高音揚聲器附上之後燕屋農場便准备好操作。

以上是我為我在Kedah讀者所修建的燕屋農場。

對于沒看过一個燕屋農場內部的那些人，這是一個好機會。

New Improved Love Potion To Increase NESTS

(ready to be delivered)

The latest batch of Love Potion comes with new additives that make its more powerful in terms of fast nests building . At the same time attract More birds.

This new improved batch was sent out to the market since earlier this month and the result was amazing. The respond from users were satisfactory.

Those areas once were considered by the owners that birds will never make nests, after 2 weeks of application nests marking were clearly seen.

What more could I say. Those who had used it knew very well that the Potion has the ability to make birds stay and make nests at the shortest time.

This what I received from user:

Sifu, I sprayed Love potion two weeks ago . I come to see today new 5 nests mark and many new shits. Thank u thank u. Keep 6 bottles for me. I will come to collect tomorrow evening. I already bank in the money to u just now . Please check your bank account.

Thank u.

J.K.Kuek

I am happy that Love Potion had helped many farms to increase their birds' population and nests.

In most cases most owners had tried almost everything with no avail . The next closes thing were to dispose off their farms. But who wants a failed farm that have no nests or merely 20-30 nests?

Nobody would buy a failed farm unless it is dam cheap or the buyer has the skill to revive it. If it does in most cases they will squeeze the price .......you won't believe how low the price can be.

So, give your farm a new life before you decided to sell. Perhaps you may not need to sell it at all.

For those who wanted to increase Birds population and nests, the potion has the ability to push up the nests number. It is good to start to use Love potion when one wants to push the nests number from around 100-300 nests to a double or a triple fold.

Many users had experienced this, 300 to 700 in 6 months and 80 nests to 230 nests in 8 months. That is why the Love Potion is always out of stock!

I am planing to mass produce the Love Potion. I shall let you all know once it is ready. My sincere apology to those who had ordered ( paid in advance, pre-booked,etc) and only receiving the Love Potion a weeks later.

"SORRY FOR THE DELAY"

Should you need more info about how to use Love Potion effectively you may always email or call me directly. 012-3173811. ( consultation on Love Potion is free)

Good luck.

最新的一批Love Potion 添加了新的更加強力的的劑來使它根快速巢修造。 同时吸引更多燕子。

這新的一批被改进了的Love Potion是從本月初被推出市場，並且結果是驚人的。 從用戶的反應是令人滿意的。

在那些被燕屋農場主认为不可能造巢窝的角落，應用Love Potion 之后2個星期明顯地看到巢的標記。

我不需要多说些什么。那些使用了Love Potion的人知道Love Potion有能力使燕子在短时间停留和做巢。

這是我從用戶收到的：

师傅，我二個星期前噴洒了Love Potion。 我今天看到5个新的巢指示和許多 新的糞。感謝感謝. 保留6瓶给我。 我將明晚来拿。 我在剛才已經把钱存进 您的户口。 請檢查您的银行户口。謝謝。

J.K.Kuek

我是很高兴Love Potion 能够帮助許多燕屋農場增加他們的燕子数量和巢。

在許多情况下多数所有者嘗試了幾乎一切沒有用。结果下一步是把他們的燕屋農場结束。 但是誰想要一個不合格和沒有巢或僅僅20-30巢的的燕屋農場呢？

沒人會買一個不合格的燕屋農場，除非它是非常便宜或買家有復興它的技巧。 如果它在許多情況下他們將緊壓價格.......您不会相信低落的價格是怎麼。 因此，給在您决定賣您的燕屋農場之前不如给您的燕屋農場一个的新的开始。 或許您根本不需要賣它。 對于那些想增加燕子鳥群和燕巢的人，Love Potion 有能力提高燕巢數字。 當一個想要從大约100-300燕巢的巢數字到雙或三倍摺疊时，開始用 Love Potion 是好的。 許多用戶在6個月體驗了，６个月里从300巢到700巢, 和在8個月里从80巢到230巢。 所以Love Potion 總是没货! 我正在想大量生產 Love Potion。 一旦它准备好，我將告诉大家。 我對那些预定了Love Potion的人的懇切的道歉 (事先支付， 事先登記等等) 和几星期以后才受到Love Ption的人。 " 為延遲
抱歉" 如果您需要更多關於如何有效地用Love Potion的 信息您可以直接打电话给我或發電子郵件给我。 012-3173811. (Love Potion的咨詢是免费的) 祝您好运!。 " 服務所有的燕屋農場者是我的愛好”

Placement Of Hygrometer

I would like to share with all my readers regarding the placement of Hygrometer. I have seen many Hygrometers being placed on the wrong place . To have a good and precise reading it is very important to place them at a right place.

A good and precise reading will help you to identify underlying problems that affect the growth of your farm.

Most farm's owner would place the Hygrometers on the wall at shoulder level. This due to convenience sack. By placing the Hygrometer at the shoulder level one will not get a precise reading.

Hot air rises , therefore the hottest place will be the ceiling. Furthermore the heat from the roof would push up the temp. If you place the Hygrometer at shoulder level the reading will be lower compared to if you put them on the nesting planks.

One reader called me complaining his bird's population has reduced during the hot and dry season. He insisted that his farm temp was good at 29C. I asked him where did he put his Hygrometer? He replied, 3 feet from the floor. It was due to convenience sack where his construction workers left a nail there.

I advised him to place them at the nesting plank and check the temp an hour later then we shall discuss about it when he has the new reading.

He was surprised to find out that the new reading at the nesting plank was 31.5 C. " No wonder" he replied.

Besides that Rh tends to sit at the bottom . Most cases if your Hygrometer placed at shoulder level you will get good reading of Rh. If you placed them at the nesting plank the Rh reading is different. It is always lower and always the opposite of Temp. Wet air is always heavier than dry air.

So make sure you place the Hygrometer at a appropriate place to have a precise reading.

In Swiftlet farming a little changes cause huge differences.

Hope the above helps.

Good luck!

我希望與我的讀者分享所有關於濕度計的安置的。 我看过許多被安置在錯誤地方的濕度計。 要有好和確确的测量, 在一個正确安置濕度計的地方是非常重要的。

好和確确的测量將帮助您辩认影響您燕屋農場的成長的根本问题。

多数的燕屋農場主会安置濕度計在牆壁上肩膀水平。 這是为了方便。 一個安置濕度計在肩膀水平是不會得到確确的测量。

由以热空气上升，因此最熱的地方將是天花板。 此外從屋頂的熱气將增加温度。 如果您比较安置濕度計在肩膀水平与安置在板條上来测量, 出来的温度將會是 比较低的.

一個讀者抱怨告诉我他的燕屋農場在熱和旱季期間，燕子数量減少了。 他坚持他的 燕屋農場于29C。 我问他安置濕度計在哪里？ 他回復了從地板上来3尺。 原因是为 了方便他的建筑工人留下釘子那裡。

我勸他把濕度計安置在板條上, 一个小时后来檢查温度, 然后我們才来對此讨論.

當他有了新的测量时。 他惊奇的发现在板條上的温度是31.5 C. " 難怪" 他回復。

通常濕度以倾向于底部。如果您把濕度計安置在肩膀水平您將得到好的温度。 如果您安置了他們在板條上, 您將得到不同的温度。 它總是低的和温度總是相反。 濕空氣比干燥的空气重。

因此确定您安置濕度計在一個适當的位置来得到確确的测量。

在燕屋農場里少少的变化導致巨大的區別。

希望上述幫助。祝您好运!

Good Investment

To me Swiftlet farming is a good investment provided you know how to do it. Could you make 300k in 2-3 years time?

I believe not many could. Of course there some who could make more than 300k perhaps millions. If they could then the better option definitely won't be swiftlet farming.

Lets not talk about million, to me even 200-300k in two years time (nett) is good enough. Well I couldn't ask for more. Best of all very low maintenance cost involved.

All one has to do is to get a shop lot of 2 storey. Don't forget if possible the location has to be good.

Lets say the property cost is 250k + another 60k for renovation to full operation that will be 310k. To some this amount may be too expensive to invest to others it maybe peanut.

Well I can't say much about this it depends on the individual financial ability. Obviously one can obtain a loan for the shop.

After 3 years of operation "if" your farm has 300 nests then it will be.........

Assuming that after 3 years your shop would appreciate at the lower side of 3% per year that will be 273 181.00.

Having 300 nests valued at an average of 1000 each that would be 300k for the nests only.

Therefore 273 181.00 + 300 000 = total value of the whole farm 573 181.00.

You may sell the farm at the above price. What if your farm has 500 - 600 nests in 3 years?

That would be 273 181.00 + 500 000 = 773 181.00. It is not impossible many had achieved this. Some even higher than this amount. Of course there also some could hardly achieve 100 nests.

Isn't it a good investment? If you decided not to depose of the farm you could always enjoy a good harvest every month.

Bear in mind that the number of nest could increase.

I considered Swiftlet farming is one of the best investment.

Good Luck!

************************************************************************************

對我来说燕屋農場是个有利的投资如果您會做它。 您可以在2-3年里赚到 300k吗？

我相信並非很多能够。 當然也可能有比300k更多或成千上萬那一些。 如果他們明確 地可能當然更好, 也不会選擇燕屋農場。

先不談論百萬, 对我而言二年内赚到200-300k是足够好的。 我不会有更多的要求。 最好的是它所需要的是非常低维修的费用。

一個必須做的是有一间2層的商店。别忘記地點必須是好的。

就说產业費用是250k +建筑整修是60k對將是310k来完全的操作。 對某一些来说 這數額是太昂貴但是对一些也可能是小数目。

我可說的是单方的財政能力。 明顯地一可以用貸款来獲得商店。

在3年”操作"以后, 如果您的燕屋農場有300巢然, 它將是的 .........

假設那在3年以后, 您的商店將在低的邊的3%每將是273 181.00的年。

有300巢被重視在是僅巢的300k的平均每1000。 所以273 181.00 + 300 000 =整個燕屋農場573 181.00的總價值。 您可以以上述的價格賣来燕屋農場。 您的燕屋農場若有500 - 600巢在3年？ 那是273 181.00 + 500 000 = 773 181.00。

不是不可能達到。 某一些还高于這數額。 當然也有一些幾乎不也達到100巢。 是不是一个有利的投资？ 如果您决定不卖掉燕屋農場您總可以享用每個月好的收穫。 記住燕巢的數字可能增加。 我考慮了燕屋農場是一個最佳的投資。

祝您好运!

Brilliant Ideas that Don't Work.

.

Do we really need such security? Well it's good to prevent theft but at the same time it will definitely prevent swiftlets from going in.

.

.

So which would be priority? This picture was taken when I was invited to visit a farm few days ago.

.

.

It was a brilliant idea but it seemed that it prevented all things from going in. The echolocation of swiftlet definitely can not bounced back from such thin wire especially during home coming time which is dark.

.

.

Sometimes brilliant ideas are threat to farm rather than help. So not all brilliant ideas works. It may works in certain aspect but failed on others.

.

.

So think properly before you execute your ideas or at less call me for second opinion.

.

.

Good Luck!

我們是否真正地需要這樣保安？它是好的如果它能防止偷竊，同时它也肯定会防止燕子进入燕屋内。

因此那一项是有優先權？這張照片是我前几天被邀請參觀燕屋農場时拍的。

它是一個精采的想法，但是, 看起來它防止了所有要进入燕屋内的东西。
從這樣稀薄的導線, 燕子肯定不能明確地得到回音反弹的特别定位尤其是在
黑暗里回燕屋的时间。

有時, 精采的想法不一定是對燕屋農場有幫助反而是有威脅的。 因此不是所有的精采想法都有用。 它可以用在某一方面， 但是无法用在其他.

因此，在您執行您的想法之前也可以打電話问我来拿第二個意见。

祝您好运!

Rising Temperatute a Threat to Our Farms.

.

.Temperature is rising. Some areas recorded reaching 37C. That is outside temperature. What about your farm internal temperature?

.

.

In some areas it has not rain for more than a month and local daily reported it will reach 38C. This is expected to last till Sept 09.

.

.

If this happened it will be a disaster for farms that are located in such areas. There are many farms that recorded internal temperature of 31-33C when the outside temperature was only 33C. What happens now when the temperature reaching 37c? I don't dare to imagine.

.

.

For sure one thing all birds will start to leave and never come back and look for farms that have a lower internal temperature. Some of the remedies are water sprinklers, humidifiers, water mist, etc to cool down the temperature and increase the Rh. But if there is excessive heat the moist will turn into hot moist (steam) and pushing the Temperature even higher.

.

.

If this continued there will be a major migration of birds to area that has rain. Food (insects) will be scare because the life cycle of insects relied very much on rain. When there is no rain there will be fewer insects. Therefore birds will fly to area that have abundantly of insects. If the dry and hot season persisted then birds would eventually stay at the places that have rain thus abandoning there previous home and nests.

.

.

In such circumstances it is uncommon to see many baby swiftlets die in nests. Many parents can no longer find enough food for their chicks. Some may never returned as they may not survived in such harsh condition themselves, what more to find food for their chicks.

.

.

Its nature and we can not avoid this. All I could say is, for farms that are located in such area are unlucky.

.

Good Luck.

溫度上升。一些區域達到37C的記錄。 那是室外温度。 您的燕屋農場內部溫 度怎么样？

在一些區域已经一个多月沒有下雨, 报帐也有報告它將到達38C。 而且這会延 迟直到9月。

如果這發生了位于這區域的燕屋農場它將是的一個災害。 有許多記錄內部溫度31-33C的農場，當室外温度是僅33C。當室外溫度到達的37c时,会發生什麼？ 我不敢 想像.

肯定所有的燕子開始會離開和不回來, 根会尋找內部溫度较低的燕屋農場。 某些補救 是水噴水隆頭、潤濕器、水冷静冷却溫度和增加濕度的薄霧等等。 但是， 如果潮濕 变成熱潮濕, 过热的(蒸汽) 将推高溫度。 . .

如果繼續的這样, 燕子肯定會遷移到有雨的區域。 食物(昆蟲)將是恐慌， 因為昆蟲 的生命周期非常依靠雨。 當沒有雨將有少量昆蟲。 所以燕子將飛行到有很多昆蟲的 區域。 如果乾燥和熱的季節继续延迟, 那么燕子最終將停留在有雨的地方而放棄较早的家和巢。 . .

在這个情況下, 看到許多小燕子死在燕巢不是平凡的。 許多燕子不能再找到足够 的食物来喂他們的小燕子。 一些可以從未返回， 因為他們在這樣苛刻的情况 不可以生存，根不可能找到食物来喂他們的小燕子。 . .

這是自然的和我們也不可能避免。 我所能說的是，為位于這區域是不幸的燕屋農場。 .

祝您好运!

Ideal height of a Farm

I received many emails regarding what is the ideal height of farms. Sorry! most of the time I didn't reply as I always considered it as a very basic info where most would have known the answer.

Well since the emails keep on coming I have to reply somehow.

The height from the floor to the nesting plank should be above 6 ft or more. Of course the higher the better but this would cause difficulty when harvesting or repairing wiring or tweeters. I have seen farms with 6 ft height have thousand of nests.

Therefore anything above 7 ft would be good. A too low ceiling to floor won't be good for the young birds. They need a good drop off to fly.

Most shop lots come with a height of at least 10 ft or more. Some up to 15 ft.

Bear in mind that the height of the farm also affect the micro. There are correlation between both.

So when building a farm (stand alone) we have to take consideration of the size of the entire farm before we justify the height of the farm .

Good Luck!

My Other Hobby" Fishing"

They said "once you are a fisherman for life you are a fisherman". This is very true. Besides Swiftlet farming I am also obsessed with Saltwater fishing.

.

.

I used to travel to Indonesia, Thailand Adaman, Maldives, Australia and many more good fishing grounds for fishing. Name a good place my gang will pack theirs equipments and bags and ready to go. Those were the days. I am still doing it but only few times a year now.

.

.

To stop the fishing addiction I need a place that I could throw off my addiction. A place that I can conveniently do my fishing 24/7 without need to plan and definitely no ticket booking needed.

.

.

So the best it to have a Saltwater Pond. From here my brother , a friend and I decided to have our own Saltwater Pond for us to have fun at the same time for the public who love Saltwater fishing.

This Saltwater pond is located in the mangrove area with breath taking scenery. A good place for relax and tranquility away from the busy towns. The size of the pond is bigger than a football field . It is more than an acre. The pond sits on a 4 acre land.

The fishes that we put in the pond are Jenahak, Siakap, Red Drum (taiwan gor), Bawal, Kerapu, and Mangrove Jack. For me Saltwater is more fun than fresh water because the strength and fight are better. There are good eating fishes too.

For those who are interested to do fishing here please find the Map below. I will be there once a week sometimes more if I am free. Perhaps you could me meet for a cup of tea and discuss about Swiftlet Farming while waiting for the fish to take the baits.

Good Fishing.

Love Potion User From Thailand

Below is one of many emails I received. He is an avid reader of my blog and a user of Love Potion.

I am happy for him because here comes another successful farm. To me 100 nests for the first years is indeed good enough. Some talks about few hundred to thousand nests. For me I am not as greedy as that. Even 50 nests I am happy knowing there are many out there that can not even achieve 10 nests in the first year of operation.

Lets not look too far. Set a reasonable goal that is attainable. I always believe one step at a time. Not to be too ambitious and greedy.

Hi James, i'm not sure u remember me. i'm ...... from Thailand. i used to order the Love Potion from u. i want to make sure u still have the potion in stock now. i plan to order more. Last time, i transfer money to u so can i do the same this time? by the way u still use the same address and phone no.? the price is still the same?

The result from last time was amazing, my farm has almost 100 nests now( within one year ). i need more coz i just build another farm. i need to put the potion before i turn on the sound. i hope to hear from u soon so i can rush to the bank to transfer money.

Thank you.

I am happy that the Love Potion is helping farms in all countries that have Swiftlets. There are some new additives in the new batch of Love Potion .This is the new improved one. Over the time I have been trying out new addictive to be added into the Love Potion to create more power in term of birds attracting ability and faster nest building.

It works well and it had helped many farms thus making Swiftlet farming an easy task.

Good Luck!

The Danger Zone in Prime Birds Zone.

While having a good dinner with friends of mine who are also very well respected seniors in Swiftlet Farming in Malaysia and Thailand. We discussed about a so called Red Zone Area . Many may not know about this. I would like to share here with you all especially for those who intended to buy shop lots or land to start farming.

The Red Area Zone could be anywhere in Malaysia. It could be in a Prime Birds Zone or non Prime Birds Zone. There are certain areas that birds swear by it. They just hate to fly to or thru this area. Some of the areas could be located in hot spot areas like Kuala Kurau, Setiawan,Kuala Krian,etc.

So having selected or purchased a property in such areas don't promise anything. The Red Zone area could be just 1km away from many farms or pioneer farms that had been harvesting many kgs per month.

This has been well observed thru our experiences. It is not uncommon to hear farmers complaining that their farms after 3 years only managed to have 10 nests while those just 1km away managed to have 1000 nests in 3 years. ( given all other things are (design,micros,etc) of the same for both)

Thru our observation in Prime Birds Zone. Swiftlets tend to congregate in certain areas only and this phenomena tends to repeat over the season. If you are observant enough you would noticed that in a Prime Birds Zone, birds tend to fly or congregate at certain areas like for example the south or south east of the Town. This has got nothing to do with the existing successful farms at the south or south east areas . Believe me there are reasons for this which I can not reveal.

Try build a farm on the west or north side then you will have to wait and wait. Why do we want to take such risk? Nobody wants to take risk if possible. I think most didn't know about it.

Sometimes it is good not to know about it. Ignorance equal to No fear.

Am I creating fear now? Ha..ha..ha.... the more you know the more you fear.

Practically most would say that all Prime Zone Area are good for farming. Do you know that the highest number of unsuccessful farms are also located in the Prime Zone Area?

Think about it.

Good Luck!

Unique Farm In Shopping Complex. Every where is possible.

(entrance from the corridor)

(close-up view)

While I was in S'wan I came across a very unique farm which is located in a shopping complex.

Well every where is possible for Swiftlet farming provided there is a big swiftlet population.

What really impressed me was the adaptation of Swiftlets to such environment. The Birds have to fly into the complex first in order for them to enter the farm. There are 2 entrances but most birds prefer the one on the 1st floor of the complex where they have to fly into the corridor before reaching the farm.

They are not afraid of human activities around. The corridor has became their roving yard.

Info from source, this farm is quite successful. So this has shown that huge population of birds is important. With huge population and good location no matter how complicated the farm is birds still come in to nest.

Some of these farms had started many years ago. It is a bit hard now to have the same result if one has to start one like this.

Good Luck!

Thank You Sir! Do you have Love Potion Stock?

What would you do if you keep on receiving Sms and calls asking for more Love Potion?

While I was driving back from outstation after completing few farms. One of my readers who has been constantly using Love Potion Smsed me.

" Dear Sir I am Mr..... from Mentakab. Do you have Love Potion in stock? The Last apply of Love potion in my farm on 17 Mar the nest increase 50 pieces as the count today. Thank you very much Sir"

As usual I called him back later as I was heading for an appointment in S'wan and I was late.

When I called him back , he was very happy. He said initially he was not so optimistic about Love Potion as he had tried few type of Aromas from the market and the results were not good.

Before this I had advised him to use it consistently to see the result. At least for 2-3 months to create a constant good internal environment. Birds usually take months before they adapt to the farm and later making nests.

After few applications of Love Potion the result was amazing. He was so happy that he keeps saying "thank you Sir".

I am happy for him too.

( All my new and existing farms are using Love Potion only. The latest one was 4 months old and
has 20 full cup nests , excluding many new nests marking)

In swiftlet farming consistency is of most important! Be it anything - Good Maintenance, Good Aroma, etc.

Good luck.

Swiftlet Chicks on the Floor

There are occasions when we visit farm we would find small Swiftlet chicks on the floor or clinching on walls. Why? There are many reasons for this.( sick, forced by parent,etc). The common one is being pushed out from the nest by their own sibling.

One of the reason that small young chicks being pushed out of their nest is because of survival instinct.

Not all eggs in a nest hatch at the same time. Some hatched few days after the other and some may take up to a week. In this instant the one that hatched first would be much bigger. During the hot season where food are scare, the one who is bigger in size would eat more and with strength and size can easily force the smaller one out of the nest. One chick left in the nest means more food for another.


Above the bigger size chick left in the nest.

Unlucky one at the bottom, will be dead soon if left unattended.

Was lucky to have met me. Later was picked up and put on the nest again.

Most cases it happened during dry season. Where the parents have to fly far for food. During this period feeding will be less frequency making the chicks craving for food and leading to aggressiveness.

So to find few chicks on the floor during such season is uncommon.

..............................

Rushing to Complete Farms

I was very busy past few weeks rushing to complete few farms in S.Petani, B.Serai and Taiping and at the same time visited my readers in Setiawan And P.Remis.

Here are the pictures of a farm , before and after installation of nesting planks.

I have to be there to make sure everything goes smooth and according to my plans.

The tweeters are already up and now left is the wiring. It should be completed in few days time.

Few of these farms already had visited (swiftlets) before the tweeters were up. It was amazing.

When everything is made to its best condition liked by birds then it is hard not to see birds not coming in.
