User of Love Potion comes all the way from Johor to Thank me

Yesterday I met up with Mr.C who drove all the way from Pontian, Johor to thank me personally.

He had come all the way here for one reason to thank me for helping his farm and to collect the Love Potion.

.

.

.He knew that I am always busy traveling, therefore, it is much easier for him to come and meet up with me rather than I travel there.

.

.

Mr. C has 2 farms which one of them has been operated for almost 5 years now. His monthly collection from the harvesting is around 1kg. This has been going on for the last 1 1/2 years and he has not seen any nests increase. He had tried almost everything but the number of nests remained the same over the last one and a half year.

.

.

He stumbles on to my Blog in Feb 09 and discovered Love Potion. He was not optimistic about it at first as he had tried many Aromas in the market before which doesn’t help.

.

.

He told me. “James, I never wanted to use the Love Potion. Many of my friends said don’t waste your time and money on Aroma just put Ammonia will do. That is what I have been doing. But some how I don’t know why I just feel like giving it a try. I bought 2 bottles in Feb 09 and ever since than I have been using it monthly till today. My nests collection now has increased to an average 1.5 – 1-8 kgs and many new nests marking. Thank you”.

.

.

He was very happy about it as he can see the changes and improvement. After using Love Potion he can see the tremendous improvement in his farm. There are more birds playing outside his farm now compared to last time. There are many new nests markings.

.

.

He was a joyous person, I jokingly told him why don’t you try to stop using the Love Potion now as my supply is always runs out and for you to save some money.

.

.

Mr.C replied I am not crazy man... Why should I stop using Love Potion? A single nest value in my farm is equivalent to 1k. Now my farm has so many nest increases. Loss many thousand just to save few hundred no no no Mr. James don’t pull my leg ok….ha..ha.

.

.

We had a good chat over a good lunch. We will meet again soon.

.

.

Good Luck and good farming.

昨天我碰見了Mr.C, 一位從笨珍，柔佛 来的读者, 他親自駕駛来感謝我。 他来這裡為 了一個原因, 一來感謝我幫助他的燕屋農場和收集 Love Potion。 他知道我總是繁忙 的，因此，他來碰見我是容易而不是我去那裡。 C先生有2個燕屋農場, 一個被管理了 差不多5年。 他每月的收穫是差不多1kg。 继续维持了1 1/2年的时间， 但是他未看到任何窝的数量增加。 他幾乎嘗試了一切，但是, 过了一年半的时间, 窝的数量依然是 同樣。 他在09年2月找到我的部落格, 和發現了的Love Potion。起初他對 Love Potion 不是很乐观，因為, 他在之前嘗試了在市場上的許多芳香, 但是没什么幫助。 他告訴 我。 「James，我未曾想过要用 Love Potion。我的朋友說不浪费您的时间和金錢在 芳香， 用氨就行了。 那是我真在做着的。 但是我不知道為什麼我感觉要试一试。 我在09年2月買了2瓶，並且，自從那以后, 我使用它直到今天。 我的窝的数量增加 到平均1.5 - 1-8公斤, 还有許多新窝的標記。 谢谢」。 他對此是非常愉快的， 他能看到變動和改善。 在用Love Potion以后, 他能看到巨大的改善在他的燕屋農場。 在他的 燕屋農場之外的燕子比较多。还有有許多新窝的標記。 他是一個歡悅人， 我開玩笑地告訴了他, 為什麼您不嘗試現在停止使用Love Potion， 因为我的供應總是不够, 並且您能省一些钱。 Mr.C回復了我, “我不是瘋了… 我為什麼要停止使用 Love Potion？ 一個巢的價值在我的燕屋農場是等于1k。 现在我的燕屋農場有這么多窝 增量。省几百块来損失好几千, 不, 不, 不, James, 别跟我开玩笑, ok….ha. .ha。 我們在午餐时有好好閒談。 我們很快再將见面。 祝您好运和好的燕屋農場。

New Nest One Week After Revamp

The farm that I had revamped in A.S performed well. Only 1 week of operation after the revamp there is a quarter cup size nest, 3 new nests marking and 6 spots of new birds shit. We discovered this when we went back to the farm to add additional Motorola Quality tweeters on the ground floor. The owner was over whelming about it. He couldn't believe it.

.

.

Before the new sound was switched on the owner has a multi-meter in his hand and walking around the farm testing the Rh & Temp. He was very quiet and didn't say anything. I bet he was wondering how I did it. Then I jokingly told him that I am very “pantang" about people checking on my works as I had guaranteed him 10 nests in 6 months. We both laughed. I told him to go ahead and check it out and see what is not perfect and tell me about it.

.

.

He happily replied. "James" everything is perfect when you were doing the revamp I was pessimistic about how you going to achieve it. Before the revamp the Rh & Temp were so high above the average. The temp was 34C. Now you had tuned the farm to a perfect condition. I couldn't believe it until I see and feel it myself ' marvelous".

.

.

The changes were tremendous. The owner said, James" I don't feel hot inside here as compared to before the revamp why?

.

.

I explained to him in details. He is very happy about it.

.

.

This farm has been operated for 1 year plus. It only has 5 nests and all birds have abandoned this farm. Some of the nests are half built and those that are completed have holes on it. Thereafter for almost a year after the initial 5 nests there is no Swiftlets building nests in this farm. All have left this farm as the micro was too bad for them to stay. Ever since then there were no new bird’s shits either.

.

.

The farm was not proper managed. There are pests in this farm. All these were cleared by spraying fedona. The guy who was entrusted to built and manage this farm practically has done nothing other than just let it be and wait for the birds to come.

.

.

I am very confident that in 6 months time the number of nests will increase. It was a good sign to see the new nest in such a short period. The location was good but the initial farm’s design was bad.

.

.

I hope my readers would learn something from here. Making sure you get the right person to do it the first time. But then again the earlier person who entrusted to build and design this farm was a famous and well talked about person “Sifu” in A.Setar. He was a big time fellow here. So where is the solution?

.

.

Well I think you already have the answers.

.

.

Good Luck.

我在Alor Setar修補的燕屋農場效果很好。 操作了1個星期之后， 有了1個四分之一 杯子大小的窝， 3個新的窝和6個新的鳥糞斑點。 當我們回到燕屋農場增加在底层 的Motorola質量高音揚聲器时發現的。屋主是非常兴奋。 他不敢相信它。 在新的 聲音被交換之前, 屋主手里拿了 multi-meter 在他的燕屋農場里測試湿度和温度。 他是非常安靜和没有說任何东西。 我打賭他是在想我如何做到怎麼。 然后我開玩 笑地告訴了他我是非常”pantang” 别人检查我的运作，我是保證6個月里有10個窝。 我們倆笑了。 我告訴他继续檢查, 如果有什麼是不完善的告訴我。 他愉快地回復了。 " James 一切是完善的，當您做的时候, 我是悲觀的, 關於您会如何去達到它的修補。 在修補之前湿度和温度是在平均之上是很高的。温度是34C。 现在您調整了燕屋 農場到一個完善的环境。 我不敢相信它， 直到我自己看見並且感覺到它, 太美 妙了"。 變動是巨大的。屋主說， “James, 我不感受到裡面是熱的, 與在修補之前 比較，為什麼？” 我仔细的解釋了給他。 他對此是非常愉快的。 這個燕屋農場被管理 1年以上。 它只有5個窝，並且所有燕子放棄了這個燕屋農場。 有一些窝是被建立 到一半， 並且完成的那些有洞的。 之后, 幾乎在最初5個窝以後的一年沒有燕子 在燕屋農場裡做窝。 因為屋内环境是太壞, 燕子无法停留，所有離開了這個燕屋農場。 自然後沒有新的鳥糞。燕屋農場是不適當的被處理。 有蟲在這個燕屋農場。 噴洒了 fedona来清除這些。 被委託的人什么都沒有做, 修建了之后, 實際上沒有處理這個 燕屋 農場, 除之外讓它等待燕子來。我非常肯定6個月裡那些窝的数量將增加。 在這樣 一個短的周期看到新的窝, 它是一 個好预示。 地點是好的， 但是最初的燕屋農場的 設計是壞的。 我希望我的讀者從這里學會某事。 保證您第一次委託的人合适做它。 然而早期被委託修造和設計這個燕屋農場的人, 在Alor Setar是一個著名和很好被 談論的人「师父」。 他在這裡是一個有名的傢伙。 因此答案是什么？ 我認為您已經有答案。祝您好运。

Infra Camera cause Harm

I always do not believe installing cctv in farm. The reason for most farmers to install cctv is because of thief and to observe swftlets in their farms from their homes..

.

.

For thief reason it would not help much if you live far away from your farm by the time you reach your farm the burglars could have left. Secondly if you installed the cctv inside the farm especially the infra type you wouldn’t see clearly as the speed of the flying swiftlets is too fast for the infra camera to capture. Most of the time you would only see fast moving shadows. To observe their flying patterns it is totally out of the question.

.

.

Thru my experiences of having visited many farms I do reckon some problems caused by this infra type cctv which I would like to share with all readers.

.

.

I had encountered farm's owners complaining about birds don't fly into their farms as many as before. Some even complained totally no birds. For newly set up farms their complains were, after the sound was switched on swiftlets dare not go in and so on.........

.
.

( The Red eye effects of an Owl. Some may argue that only flash light from Camera would create this effects. But I wouldn't want take the risk after invested few hundred thousand. Do you?)

.

.After observing and with head cracking investigation I discovered that the cctv causes more harm than good. Well we can't escape the law of nature, what is good for one thing definitely is bad for other. Anything in this world that has its advantages is also associated with disadvantages.

.

.

The infra type camera eye which have many small red light bulbs when its being switched on is the problem. In dark the red coloured bulbs imitates the eye of the predators. If the camera eye is being fixed at the roving it would be like a predator ambushing at the roving waiting for the birds to come in. This red light bulbs resembles the eye of predators.

.

.By instinct when swiftlets fly into the entrance hole will instantly fly out to prevent from being attacked. The red light bulbs resemble the eyes of Owl, Eagle,etc. This definitely affects the growth of the Bird house.

.

.For long I do not buy the idea of having cctv in farm. This is the main reason for it. For thief one could always install an alarm system. For your information all my farms have got no cctv but with alarm system.. It has got nothing to do with cost saving. Does it serves any purposes or does it do harm or good? In this cctv cases it causes more harms than good.

.

.

Well of course some may argue about this. Some may even say that there are many successful farms that have cctv installed..

.

Your farm belongs to you not them. So who will be sorry when your farm failed? You or them? So do you want to take the risk?

.

.It is all Up to you..

.

.Good Luck.

我總是不相信在燕屋農場安裝里cctv。 多数燕屋農場的屋主安裝cctv的原因是由於 竊賊和可以在他們的家觀察他們燕屋農場里的燕子swftlets。 對于竊賊的原因它是 不會有太大的幫助，如果您离您的燕屋農場很遠從居，當您到達的時候, 賊可能離開 的您的燕屋農場。 其次， 如果您安裝了cctv在燕屋農場裡面, 您是不會明顯地看見 的，因為燕子飛行的速度太快速, 在照相機下不可能奪取。 多数时间您只會看見快行陰影。 要觀察他們的飛行樣式它是完全不可能的。 通过我參觀燕屋農場的許多經驗, 我希望我與所有讀者在下分享cctv可造成的有些問題。我遇到了燕屋農場的屋主抱怨 燕子不在飛行到他們的燕屋農場里和以前一样多。 甚而一些抱怨完全沒有燕子。 有些 新的燕屋農場的抱怨是，当开了聲音之後, 燕子不敢飛进來 (貓頭鷹的眼睛是紅色的。 一些也許争辩说，從照相機的僅一刹那光將創造此作用。 但是我是不敢冒险, 尤其是投資了数十萬之後。 您敢？) 在觀察和绞尽脑汁的調查以后, 我發現cctv害處比好處 更多。 我們是无法逃避自然规律，首先, 什麼是对一些有益明確地是对其他无益的。 任何一样东西在這個世界上, 有它的好處也有它的缺點, 是联系在一起的。 問題是 當它开动了之后, 在infra類型的照相機有許多小红灯電燈泡。 在黑暗里, 紅色電燈 泡仿效掠食性動物的眼睛。 如果照相機眼睛是固定的在入口, 它是像一只食肉動物 伏擊在等待燕子的归来。 這红灯電燈泡類似掠食性動物的眼睛。 由天性， 當燕子 飛行到入口时, 立即將飛行防止被攻擊。 红色電燈泡類似貓頭鷹、 老鷹等等的眼睛。 這明確地影響燕子的成長。對于我久久不買cctv在燕屋農場里的想法。 這是它的主 要原因。 對于竊賊總是可能安裝报警系统。我所有的燕屋農場是沒有cctv， 但是有 报警系统。 它是與节省成本无关。 它是否符合任何的目的或它只是带来好處或 害處？裝了這個cctv危害比好處更多。 當然, 一些也許辨证。 一些也許說許多成功 的燕屋農場安裝了cctv的。 您的燕屋農場屬於您不是他們的。 因此， 當您的農場 发生了故障，誰將是抱歉？ 您或他們？ 因此您是否想要冒险？ 它是全部由您決定。 祝您好运。

Owl on top of Roof

The above picture was taken at about 10pm when I was on my way back from Kedah after farm visiting.

.

.

My farm is located in the North of Selangor. Every time when I pass by even at late evening I make it a point to stop by my farm. I will stop by for half and hour to observe my farm from out side.

.

.

When I though everything was Ok until I saw a huge Owl standing right above the roof of my neighbor’s farm. I am very sure the Owl has only one intentions which is ambushing for swiftlets that coming back late. My neighbour’s farm is just 2 shop lots away from mine. I presume this has been the hunting ground for the Owl.

.

.

I used to observe this area in evening from 7-8pm so far I have not seen any Owl. It appeared after 10 pm. My farm located in the town area and never had I expected to see such big Owl.

.

.

It is always when you least expected things will happen. Well from now I have to do something to solve this predator problem.

.

.

My advice to all readers is that never take things for granted. Even if your farm is located in town area your farm should have Owl bard wire, nails on entrance hole, etc.

.

.

Good Luck.

上述照片大约是在晚上10点拍的，當時我是在從Kedah參觀燕屋農場之後拍的。 我的 燕屋農場是位于Selangor北部。通常當我路過我的燕屋農場, 甚而在晚上我都会停下来觀察半小時。 當我认为一切是好的時候, 直到我看見一頭巨大的貓頭鷹站立在我 鄰居的燕屋農場的屋頂上面。 我是非常肯定那貓頭鷹僅一的意圖為是伏擊晚归的 燕子。 我鄰居的燕屋農場是遠離我的2间商店。 我肯定這是貓頭鷹的猎场。 我通常 觀察到目前為止, 這個區域從7-8pm我從沒看見過任何貓頭鷹。看起來是在晚上10點 以後。我的燕屋農場位于鎮區域的和我未曾期望看到這樣大的貓頭鷹。 總是您最不 期望的事何时將發生。 我必須從現在起做某事解決這個食肉動物的問題。 我對所有讀者的忠告是不要小看这些问题。 即使您的燕屋農場位于鎮區域, 您燕屋農場的入口應該有防貓頭鷹的導線、釘子等等。祝您好运。

Ultrasonic Mist Maker

.
.

Ultrasonic Mist Maker (UMM), forget about the noisy commonly use Chicken coop humidifier. This new UMM produces very fine mist. In other words it doesn't totally wet your farm's floor like the chicken coop humidifier.

.

Best of all it is soundless. Besides that it doesn’t use propeller to fan out the mist like the Chicken coop humidifier. The wind from the chicken coup humidifier creates a strong movement of air which dislike by birds. Therefore it is common to see no nests above the Chicken coop humidifier.

.

The strong wind pushes up the water vapor thus making it to reach the planks and this is where fungus and mold problems arise.

.

The fine mist will settle down on the floor instead at the ceiling or planks.

.

This UMM is light weigh and potable. You can adjust the height of the mist that comes out from it. Use a pvc pipe or a small pap bottle (cut it into half and place on the hole).

.

For clean and quality nests I would recommend you to use it. You need at least 2-3 units per floor.

The price is Rm 380.00 excluding postage. Call 012-3173811.

.

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

超音波薄霧製造者(UMM)，忘掉那些喧鬧的用途鸡舍潤濕器。 這新的UMM產生 非常美好的薄霧。 换句话说它不完全弄濕了您的燕屋農場的地板喜歡鸡舍潤濕器。最好的是它無聲的。 除那以外, 它不使用推進器散開像鸡舍潤濕器的薄霧。 從雞突 然行動潤濕器的風创建強的煩惡的空氣。 所以通常它是没有燕窝在鸡舍潤濕器 之上。强风增加因而水蒸气到達板條，並且這是真菌和青苔問題出现的地方。 美好的 薄霧將定居在地板而在不天花板或板條。 這UMM是輕和方便的。 您能調整它薄霧的高度。 使用一個pvc管子或一個小pap瓶 (裁減它入一半和在孔安置)。 為乾淨和質量燕窝我會推薦您使用它。 您需要每一层至少2-3個。 價格是除了郵費的Rm 380.00。 電話012-3173811。

Stand Alone Farm Revamped

This is the Stand Alone farm that I revamp in A.Setar. The entrance hole has been enlarged. The other 3 entrance holes are sealed. Initially there is no Hexagonal Tweeter. Now a Hexagonal tweeter is fixed to attract birds from far.

.

.

A new 2nd entrance hole is created and the old one is sealed. The old 2nd entrance hole was located on the wrong position/side. I wonder why didn't the person entrusted to build this farm think about it before he decided to place the 2nd entrance hole.

.

.

Well, I shouldn’t have asked such question. If he had placed them at a good and right place then this farm won't need to be revamped. Then I wouldn't be doing it now.

.

.

There are 16 exhaust fans in this farm. It shows the person entrusted to build this farm has got no idea how to make a good micro. He is unable to control the micro therefore 16 exhaust fans were used to cool down this farm.

.

.

It is like creating a problem first then find ways to solve it. At the first place why do you want to create problems? I guess most didn't even realize that they themselves are the roots to the problem. They had created problem without knowing it.

.

.

(Exhaust fans in farm before removal)

.

.

.If you know how to create or make a good micro then you won't need to have all these exhaust fans.

.

.

All these exhaust fans were removed and the holes were sealed. I have created additional ventilation hole with 4" pvc pipe at the appropriate walls.

..

.

.The owner was chided to find out that after the revamp the internal environment micro is better than before. It is much cooler than before the farm was revamped. He is very happy about the tremendous changes in his farm because he can feel it himself.

..

.

.At the same time Motorola Quality tweeters were fixed at strategic areas of the 1st and ground floor to attract Swiftlets to fly deeper into the farm. The sound quality from these tweeters is fantastic says the owner. He says he can hear the differences. All the old tweeters which I call speakers as all of them come with a magnetic coil at the back of the speakers were removed.

.

.
These types of speakers which I don't call them tweeters are good for acoustic & instrument. There are not piezo which the frequency could travel far therefore the sound from these speakers won't attract many birds.

.

.

This farm will start its new sound which is from my personal collect this coming weekend.

.

.
Good Luck.

這是我在A.Setar修補的立獨燕屋農場。 入口被擴大了。 其他3個入口被密封。 最初 沒有六角高音揚聲器。 现在一臺六角高音揚聲器被安装来吸引燕子。 一個新的第2 個入口被創造，並且久的一個被密封。久的第2個入口在錯誤位置或被找出。 我想 知道装修人他在想什麼当他决定安置第2個入口之前。 我想我不應該问這個問題。 如果他安置了他們在好和正確的位置, 這個燕屋農場不需要被修補。 然后我不需要 現在做着它。 有16個排气扇在這個燕屋農場。 它显示这个被委託的人修建這個 燕屋農場沒有想如何做好一個好的屋内环境。 他无法控制屋内环境, 因此16個排气扇 被用于冷却這個燕屋農場。 它是像制造問題然後發現办法解決它。 但是您為什麼想要制造問題呢？ 我猜測多数没有意识到他們自己根本就是問題。 他們制造了 問題，却不知道它。 (排气扇在撤除之前的燕屋農場) . 如果您會創造或做好屋内环境, 然後您根本不需要有這些排气扇。 去除了所有這些排气扇，並且孔被密封了。 我用 4"的pvc管子創造了另外的通风孔在適當的牆壁上。燕屋農場主被責罵发现在修補 以後屋内环境比之前好。 在燕屋農場被修補了之前，涼快多了。 因為他能感覺它， 他在他的燕屋農場上的巨大变化是非常愉快。 同时Motorola質量高音揚聲器是安置 在第1和底层吸引燕子飞行更深入燕屋農場。 從這些品质优良的高音揚聲器的是意想 不到的。 他說他能聽見區別。 當所有久的高音揚聲器來與磁性捲在後面去除了。 這些类型的我不称它为高音揚聲器, 因为它是有益于音響& 儀器。 這些揚聲器不可能 頻率移动也不可能吸引許多燕子。 這個燕屋農場將這個週末開始它的新聲音是 從我個人收集。祝您好运。

Visiting a Farm with few Thousands nests that uses Love Potion.

( look at those "u" marks that left behind after harvesting)

( new nests )

(over hundred nests per each planks. Look at the quality of the planks. There is no such things call fungus or mold)

.

.

Rushing all the way to this farm from the North so that I could reach there before 4.30pm. I wanted to see the farm that has been using Love Potion since Love potion was launched.

.

.

The owner who has many successful farms was waiting at the farm's entrance for us. I was late, I could have reached here earlier but I have to clear everything at my revamp farm in A.Setar.

.

.

I have planned to visit this farm earlier but I was tight up with my works especial farm revamp. Therefore yesterday was the only day I was free.

.

.

As usual Mr. D was with a smiling face welcoming us. I am happy to see him as we had built up a good friendship over the years. I wouldn't have met such a wonderful friend if I didn't invent the Love Potion.

.

.

Mr.D informed me that he had harvested the farm 3 days ago. There would be not many full cup nests in the farm except those that have eggs, chicks and those that are half built. He explained every time after harvesting without fail he will apply the Love Potion an average of 2-3 weeks once.

.

.

He had used Love Potion since last year. Ever since then the nests had increased double and he was shocked to see the results. After using the Love Potion the number of nests increased even in areas which was once considered to be least favorable to birds. He was very pleased with what Love Potion had done.

.

.

He proudly takes us tour his farm. The moment I stepped inside the farm I can smell the Aroma flowing out from the door. It was wonderful I love it. I can tell by the smell of the Aroma from this farm, it is a full House farm. The smell from this farm was totally different from those many farms that I had visited. There are only a very small percentage of farms that smell like this. When I smell it I can recognize it. I just love it.

.

.

Beside the Aroma the micro was at its perfections. It was a perfect farm with perfect micro where I confidently dare to say 95% of farms in Malaysia can not emulate such condition.

.

.

He took us to every floors of his farm and showed the areas where he had applied the Love Potion and explained how he had used the Love Potion and at the same time showing us some of his wonderful discoveries.

.

.

He was a down to earth person. He even says “James, take as many pictures as you want and show it to your readers and share it with them". How many people would do this? I guess not many.

.

.

After seeing his farm we decide to leave as it is time for birds to come back. We headed to a coffee shop nearby to have teh tarik and to have our usual dose of Swiftlets talk. Many solutions for problems in farm were discovered mainly thru observation and discussion over dose of Swiftlets talk.

.

.

Therefore my advice for those who want to seek improvement in term of skill or to have a good farm should do the same “ Swiftlet talk”

.

.

Good Luck.

(看看那些在收穫后留下的" u"標記)
(新的窝)
(每一板條上有每一百个巢。看看板條的質量。是沒有真菌或青苔的) 從北部一直赶到這個燕屋農場，以便我能在4.30pm之前到達那裡。 我想看這個用了 Love Potion 的燕屋農場，自從Love Potion开始到现在。 燕屋主有許多成功的燕屋 農場在门口等待我們。 我迟到了， 我可以早到達這裡，但是我必須在A.Setar完成 我修補的燕屋農場。 我原本計劃是要及早參觀這個燕屋農場， 但是我是忙于修補燕屋 農場的工作。 所以昨天是我唯一有空的一天。 和平常一样D先生是一張微笑的面孔 歡迎我們。我是非常高兴看到他, 因為我們多年來加強了好友誼。 我不可能认识一 個這樣美妙的朋友，如果我沒發明 Love Potion。 D先生告诉我他前3天收穫了燕窝。 沒有許多满杯的燕窝除了那些有燕蛋，小燕子和那些被造一半的燕窝。 他解釋在 每次收穫以后, 他一定每次用 Love Potion 平均2-3個星期。 他從去年开始用 Love Potion。用了自后, 燕窝增加了雙倍， 他很惊喜看到結果。 在用 Love Potion 以后 燕窝的数量增加了, 曾经认為最不可能造窝的角落也有窝了。 他對 Love Potion 非常 满意。 他驕傲地带我們遊覽他的燕屋農場。 当我我跨步进燕屋農場裡面, 我能 嗅到芳香從門流出来。 它是美妙的, 我喜欢它。 我可以從這個燕屋農場嗅到芳香的氣味， 它告訴是一個满分的燕屋農場。 從這個燕屋農場的氣味與我參觀了的那些許多燕屋 農場是完全不同的。 有象這样氣味的燕屋農場百分比非常小。 當我嗅到它时我可以 认可它。 我喜欢。除了芳香, 屋内环境是完美的。一個完善的燕屋農場, 我敢說在 馬來西亞95%的燕屋農場是不可能有完善的屋内环境。 他带我們遊覽每一层, 並且顯示了每一個角落应用了 Love Potion, 他解釋他怎麼使用了 Love Potion, 同時顯示 我們他一些美妙的發現。 他是一個現實的人。 他甚而說 “James， 拍多些照片， 您 可以與您的讀者分享它"。 多少人會做此？ 我猜並非許多。 在看完他的燕屋農場以後 我們决定離開，因為是燕子回來的时间。 我們朝向附近咖啡店来談燕子。 許多問題 的解答是在燕屋農場主通过在談燕子和觀察被發現的。 所以, 我的忠告, 如果想要尋找改善技巧或一個好的燕屋農場的那些人的應該做同一次「談燕子」祝您好运

Where to Find Good Quality Planks.

( Huge variety of Nesting Planks stocks)

( workers packing corner boards )

( Top Grade Nesting Planks 8x1" . 100% no unwanted marking)

Yesterday I was at my supplier’s warehouse to inspect the Meranti Nesting Planks that I had ordered. I used to call the Sawmill owner Ah H…. first before I go there to inspect it myself making sure the Nesting planks I had ordered meets my requirement.

.

.

Often good quality Meranti is scar and expensive. This has transpired many small sawmills mix them will lower grade ones to make higher profit.

.

.

To prevent this make sure you purchase it from reputable sawmills. Big sawmills often have the huge capital for buying raw timbers. With such all good ones are being secured by them.

.

.

The lower grade ones (down stream) are often re-sell to smaller sawmill.

.

.

Ah H…… Sawmill is huge. The storage for Nesting plank itself is 30,000 S/f.

All grades of Meranti planks are available.

.

.

While I was there I saw few stacks of high graded Meranti waiting to be loaded onto a truck for delivery.

.

.

As I understand from Ah H…..It was specially requested by a farm owner of a newly built 50x 150f, 4 storey Stanalone. The planks are of 8x1 inch. All pre-selected. Money was secondary to this owner. He wanted the best.

.

.

For sure one thing the planks will last very long. It is not cheap but then again if you compared the amount of money he had already invested into a four storey, 50x150f standalone, the cost of the nesting planks is peanut.

.

.

Good Luck

.

(最高級的板條8”x1" . 100%沒有不需要的条文) 昨天我在我的板條供應商的倉庫檢查我定购了的Meranti板條的。 我通常会通知板 廠的阿H…. 之前， 在我去那裡檢查我自己定购的板條, 保證我预定的板條符合我的 要求。 經常品质优良的Meranti是有条文和昂貴的。 這起發了許多小板廠混合了低级 的Meranti来获得更高的利润。 要防止此保證, 您必须要從名聲好的板廠購買。 大板 廠經常有巨大的資本買未加工的木材。 這样所有好部分由他們鞏固。 更低级的(擊倒 小河)是經常轉售到更小的板廠。阿H ...... 的板廠是巨大的。 板條的仓库是30,000 方尺。有所有等级的Meranti板條。 當我在那裡时, 我看見了少量等待被裝載上卡車高級的Meranti。 我從阿H瞭解.....它是由最近被修造的50x150f, 4層樓的燕屋農場， 独立燕屋農場所特別預先購買。 板條是8x1英寸。對這個燕屋主金錢是次要的。 他要的是最好的。 肯定這些板條会非常耐久。当然它不是便宜的， 如果您比較了 他已經投資了四層樓50x150的獨立燕屋農場的金额，板條的費用是小儿科。祝您好运!

To the North : Visit a Revamped farm and a Successful farm that has been using Love Potion Since Sept 2008

This coming weekend I shall be in the North visiting a farm that I revamped. The construction works is almost completed. I shall be there to fix the sound system and make sure all things completed according to plan.

.

.

At the same time I shall stop over at the North of Perak to meet up with a very good friend of mine. A down to earth person. He is a true swiftlets enthusiast. He owned not less than 10 successful farms .Not many are like him. He likes to do experiment on his farms and find solution to counter all problems. He learned so much from here.

.

.

He is also a regular user of Love Potion. He has been using Love potion since Sept 2008 till today. One of the farms that I will be visiting consists of not less than 4000 nests. This particular farm has been using Love potion every 3 weeks once since Sept 2008. I am very honor to be given a chance to witness how Love potion has pushed up the nests population in this successful farm. I shall take some pictures and post it on my blog to share with all my readers.

.

.

Good Luck.

Blessed with the Beauty of Nature

( Beautiful scenery)

( Farm along the shore)

( Fish farming with Swiftlets farm in the Middle)

( Breath taking scenery along the shore)

( Dragon fruit farm surrounding BH)

.

These pictures were taken last week while I was travelling. It was a beautiful sunny day. We are blessed with such wonderful places. What can we ask more?

.

Malaysia is what I call home. I am proud to be a Malaysian. Some of the farms above are located along the shore with breath taking scenery.

.

.

The beauty of my involvement in Swiftlets farming allows me to travel extensively throughout Malaysia and to help those who seek knowledge and information in Swiftlets farming.

.

.

To me it is not so much about the monetary value. It is the enjoyment and the satisfaction I get when I stood between the beautiful untouched shore and a Swiftlet farm, the feeling is fantastic. Money really can't buy this kind of satisfaction.

.

.

I would say the more one seeks for value in monetary the more he may not get it. When we appreciate what nature has given us prosperity will follows.

.

.

Good Luck!

(美好的風景)
(沿岸的農場)
(燕屋農場在养渔场中间)
(扣人心弦沿岸的風景)
(龙珠果园中的燕屋農場) .
這些照片是我上星期旅行时拍下的。 它是一個美好的晴天。上天保祐我們有這样美妙的地方。 我們还要求些什麼呢？ 馬來西亞是我的家。 我自豪是馬來西亞人。 上面那些的燕屋農場是位于扣人心弦 沿岸的風景。 我在燕屋行业允許我走遍馬來西亞廣泛地带和幫助那些寻找在燕屋行业 的知識和信息的人。對于我它不是關於金钱回报货。 它是满足和享受我站立在美麗的未觸動過的海岸和燕屋農場之間，感覺是意想不到的。这种满足感真正是金錢買不到的。 我說当一個人越為尋找金錢的價值, 他越可能得不到多的。 當我們讚賞大自然給我們的, 繁榮将意志跟隨我們。祝您好运!

Standalone Farm on a Pond

While I was visiting farms in the South last week, I came across a very unique Stanalone.

This Stanalone was built above water (pond). In fact there are many farms that are built on top of the water especially at river banks or at jetties.

But to see one that specially builds above water on land is rare. I was made to understand that the reason is to have a better micro and macro. The owner really has some points here.

The set back is the cost involved. The foundation is not cheap which most farm’s owner would avoid.

The bird’s population of this farm is not bad. In the late evening there is hundreds of swiftlets flying in and out of the farm. By looking at the way they fly in and out for sure there are the residents there.

The pond also serves as playing and hunting ground for swiftlets. Every morning and evening hundreds of swiftlets fly to this pond explained the owner.

So next time when you want to build a standalone you may want consider this.

Good Luck.

上星期當我在南部參觀燕屋農場时，我遇到了非常獨特的獨立燕屋農場。 這獨立 燕屋農場被修造在水(池塘)之上。 实际上, 有許多燕屋農場建造在水上, 特别是在河口或在码头。 但是看見特別修造在土地之上的水地的是罕見的。燕屋主使我瞭解的原因是有更好的屋内和屋外环境。燕屋主也有一些道理。弱点是費用。 多數燕屋主會避免的, 因为要 建基礎不是便宜的。 這個燕屋農場的燕子数量不是错的。 在傍晚平衡有飛行進入燕屋 農場的有数百以上燕子。 通过看他們飛行裡裡外外的方式, 肯定那些是在那裡的 居民。 池塘也变成了燕子玩乐和猎场作用。 燕屋主说每天早晨和晚上数百以上的 燕子飛到這個池塘。 那么下次，當您想要修造獨立燕屋農場您也許可以考慮这个。祝您好运!

Corner Board in Swiftlets Farms. Should We Use it?

I received a call from one of my regular Blog's readers regarding Corner Board in farms. This has been debated before long time ago. For some it is a must for farms while other may think it is unnecessary and it is a gimmick to make more money from farmers.

.

.

( Both lines at the Corner board are occupied)

.

There are many reasons for using corner board. But the reason of using Corner Board shared by most is to prevent 90dg nests. As corner nests fetch lower price compared to nests that are built on straight planks.

.

.

Many agreed that Swiftlets like to build nests at corners. If you are observance enough you will notice that new nests build in new farm are at corners. Reason being building nest at corners saves saliva and time. It is their favorite place. To me it is not the corner or the above reasons but the lines at the corners where the two planks joint to make the 90dg corners created lines that are easy for young Swiftlets to claw.

.

.

So this is where the Corner board comes in. If you install a Corner Board it will create 2 lines instead of 1 line like those without corner boards. The more lines create by the corner board will make it easier for young birds to claw thus making nest faster.

.

.

For new farm, I would definitely prefer quantity first and later talks about quality. If you can not attract large number of Swiftlets to build nests in your farm what is there to talk about quality. So making many places that are easy for them to make nests is priority.

.

.

So if you ask me should I use corner board in farms? My answer is yes.

.

.

Of course there are many successful farms that are with and without corner board.

.

.

So the decision lies on you.
.
.
Good luck.

我接到了一個從我的讀者關於在燕屋農場壁角的电话。在不久之前辯論过了。 對于一些它是燕屋農場的必要，有一些認為它是多餘的，並且它是赚更多燕屋主的秘密。
(在壁角的兩條線被佔領)
有許多原因使用壁角。 但是多數使用壁角的原因是防止90度的窝。 因為壁角窝比造 在平直的板條的窝售得低价。 許多同意那些燕子喜歡在角落造窝。 如果您是有 观察 力的, 您会注意到新的燕屋農場在角落造新的窝。 原因是造窝在角落节省唾液 和时间。 它是他們喜愛的地方。 對于我它是沒有角落或上述原因，而是纹条在二個 板條聯接做90度的角落, 對年輕燕子是容易抓的角落。 因此這是壁角的来源。 如果 您安裝壁角它將創造2條線而不是像那些不用壁角的1條線。 更多線條由壁角創造 將使容易對幼燕抓因而使巢更加快速。 為新的燕屋農場， 我明確地會更喜歡首先數量和以后談論質量。 如果您不可能吸引大量的燕子在您的燕屋農場修造窝, 那談什麼 質量。 因此對他們容易在許多地方做窝是有優先權的。 因此， 如果您问我是否應該在燕屋農場使用壁角？ 我的答案是。 當然也有許多成功的燕屋農場是有和沒有 壁角的。 因此決定在是您的。祝您好运!

High Humidity on planks in Swiftlets Farm

A) Low grade wood infested with mold.

B) Side by side, the upper plank molds free the lower plank with mold. Both under the same high Rh condition.

Many didn't notice it they thought the higher the Humidity the better it is. If the humidity is too high and the planks in farms are of those low graded Meranti the result will be like in the pictures.

.

.

Recommended Rh in farm is range from 70-85%. Its also depends on what type of Meranti wood (grade) you are using. If you are using the commonly low grade one which is Rm 1800-2400 per ton then anything above Rh 75% the risk of having mold on plank is very high.

.

.High grade Meranti resist mold. Even at Rh 80% and above they seldom have mold problem. If your farm is using the low grade one make sure your Rh is below 75%. Then again at this range it would not favor Swiftlets to stay.

.

Look at picture B, two different grade of Meranti were used. The top one has got no mold while the below one is infested with mold.

.

The commonly problem that Swiftlets don't build nest on farm is because the planks are wet and infested with mold. Swiftlet saliva unable to stick well on molded planks. After trying many times swiftlets will eventually look for farms that have dry and good nesting planks.

.

No points of having a good micro but the planks prevent Swiftlets from making nests.

.

Swiftlets farming is a long term investment. How would you feel after 2-3 years when you see many birds flying and out your farm but none of them stay and make nest.

.

Plank is part of micro. Don't take them lightly.

.

Good luck.

A) 低级板條有真菌。
B) 肩並肩，上部板條没有真菌, 低的板條有真菌的。 兩個在同一個濕氣的情况下。 許多不知認為越高濕氣越好。 如果濕氣太高和板條在燕屋農場是那些低级的Meranti 结果就好像在圖片的。 建议使用在燕屋農場的濕氣是從70-85%的範圍。 它也依靠您 使用什麼樣的Meranti板條(等级)。 如果您使用是每噸Rm1800-2400, 然後任何在 75%之上的濕氣风险在板條上有的真菌是非常高。 高级是Meranti抵抗真菌。 在濕氣 80%以上他們很少有真菌問題。 如果您的燕屋農場使用低级确定您的濕氣在75% 以下。 然而在這個範圍燕子是不會停留。 看圖片B，使用不同等级的Meranti。 下面的板條有真菌問題时，上面的板條是沒有真菌問題。那些燕子是不會在燕屋農場造窝，因為板條是濕和有真菌問題。燕子的唾液無法在被鑄造的板條上黏附。 在嘗試 許多时期以后, 燕子最終將尋找有乾燥和好板條的燕屋農場。 就算有最好的屋内环境， 而板條是防止燕子做窝。燕屋農場是長期投资。 您的感觉會怎麼, 在2-3年以后，當您看見許多燕子飛出您的燕屋農場，但是他們都不逗留和不做窝。板條是屋内 环境的一部分。不可以小看他們。祝您好运!

Dead Birds in Swiftlets Farm

Last week I met up with a farm's owner from K.L. He had bought a farm in the North recently.

.

He's quite new in this Swiftlets Farming business. For sure one thing he had bought the farm for a very high price. For those 100 nests he had paid 3 times the price. He didn't notice it until we spoke about it.

.

He was very eager to meet up with me to discuss about his newly bought farm and at the same time to collect Love potion from me.

,..

After he had bought the farm he noticed there are many dead birds in his farm. Every time when he visits his farm there are sure some dead birds around.

/

His questions were why there are so many dead birds the farm? Why the population is not growing? I replied' well there are many reasons for this.

.

Over the conversation I asked him about the size of his farm, the partitioning pertaining to the design, the pest, predators, etc. After ruled out the other I suspected that the actual cause was the design of his farm. It seemed that many young birds that just learned to fly couldn't find their way out. Those that can not find their way out eventually die. Those that could find their way out will never return. With many dead birds how can the population grow?

..

So every season his farm is producing new generation of birds for other farms. In other words he is doing good thing, contributing to the swiftlet population of his area (not his farm).

.

I prompted him further, his farm was the pioneer farm in that area but other farms started later around his farm have more nests than his.

.

This clearly shown that his neighbours had managed to capture all his young birds. It seems that his neighbours' farm populations are increasing yearly except his.

.

He has to do something about it as soon as possible. Otherwise the more farms coming up they will attract all the young birds from his farm. There must be reasons for problems in his farm. If he could find the reason to the problems then solving it would be easy.

.

I hope he understands and remembers what I had advised him or else it would be very harm for his farm to have a good growth.

.

Good Luck.

上星期我見了從K.L的燕屋主。 他最近在北部買了一個燕屋農場。 他在這个燕屋农场 经营是相當新的。 肯定一件事是他買了一個非常高价的農場。 為了那些100窝他付了 3倍的價格。 他没有发觉直到我們谈到。 他是非常熱切的, 碰見我一直談論關於他最近買的燕屋農場和同時從我收集拿取Love Potion。 在他買了燕屋農場之後, 他注 意到有許多死的燕子在他的燕屋農場， 當他參觀他的農場時候肯定有一些死的燕子。 他的問題是為什麼有許多死的燕子在燕屋農場？燕子数量為什麼不增長？ 我回答他 是有許多原因的。 我问他关于他的燕屋農場的大小， 分成關於設計，坏蟲、 掠食性 動物等等。之後排除了我懷疑的其他實際, 起因是他燕屋農場的設計。 看起來刚刚 飞行的許多燕鸟不能找到他們的出口。 最終找不到出口的那些死在燕屋農場里。 能找到出口的那些不會返回。 許多死的燕子怎麼能增長燕子数量？ 每個季節他的農 場引起新一代的燕子给其他的農場。 换句话说他做了好事， 造成他區域的燕子数量 增長 (可是就不是他的燕屋農場)。 我進一步查问了他， 他的燕屋農場是在那個 區域先驅的燕屋農場，但是在他的燕屋農場附近之后開始的其他燕屋農場比他的有更多窝。 明顯地表示，他的鄰居设法奪取他所有的幼燕。 看起來他的鄰居农厂燕子 数量逐年增加除了他的。 他必須儘快對此做些事。 否則將來更多的燕屋農場將從他 的燕屋農場吸引他們所有的燕鸟。他的燕屋農場是有問題的。 如果他可能發現 原因然後解決問題是容易的。 我希望他瞭解並且记得我的勸告否则他的燕屋農場是非常难有好成長的。祝您好运!
