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!
