Three-month freeze on new licences in Sepang

(Another related article)

MALAYSIA Airports Holdings Bhd (MAB) will carry out a three-month Environmental Impact Study on swiftlets and its impact on bird strikes, Sepang Municipal Council (MPSp) Town Planning director Yunus Kashib said after the MPSp fullboard meeting recently.

“MAB will do a comparison study of different airports such as those in East Malaysia as well as Indonesia, where the swiftlet industry is booming.

“There were two incidents where swiftlets were the cause, but only a DNA report, which will take three months, will determine which species was the actual culprit.

“The current licence holders can continue their activities but the council will not issue new licences for the time being,” he said.

Entrepreneurs want a one-stop centre

A one-stop centre for issuing licences and permits relating to the bird’s nest industry will benefit entrepreneurs if it is given the green light.

This was one of the resolutions discussed by the Asia Bird’s Nest Conference recently.

Currently, the farmers have to apply for a premises licence from the local council to build the bird house and then apply for a harvesting licence from the Wildlife Department.

Learning experience: The participants were also shown different types of bird’s nests at the event.

More than 250 participants from various states took part in the two-day swiftlet workshop held at the Paya Indah Wetlands, Dengkil.

It was the third and last in a series of workshops that began in 2008.

The objective of the workshop was to get feedback from participants who had ventured into the industry and to discuss the problems they face and come up with solutions.

Other resolutions that were discussed include:

URGING the government to prepare complete guidelines for the industry;

lResearch collaboration bet-ween the government and industry players should be created or continued and government consultancy services provided, if needed; and

lrecognisING the industry as an expanding one to market the products through a standardised brand name.

Halim Kepol, 44, from Batu Pahat, got to know about the industry from friends and the Internet and has spent RM135,000 building a bird house.

“I’m interested in this industry as I feel it has the potential to succeed.

“The workshop provided us a platform to discuss swiftlet-related issues and I’ve learnt a lot from the workshops,” he said.

Another participant Abu Hussin, a retiree, said the swiftlet business was booming in Alor Gajah, Malacca.

“It’s a good opportunity as there is guidance and aid provided for swiftlet nest entrepreneurs.

“Moreover, there’s not much competition and the risk is low,” he said.

Perhilitan director-general Datuk Abdul Rasid Samsudin said Perhilitan’s role was mainly in conservation.

When asked for his comments about Sahabat Alam Malaysia’s call to ban swiftlet farming, he said the industry should not be discouraged but should be controlled.

“It has to be done on agricultural land, away from the urban areas,” he said.

A total of 16 public awareness programmes have been carried out from 2008 till June this year.

Styrofoam Fake Nest

.

.

(the common shape of Styrofoam Fake nest done by most)
'
.

( My way, shaped Styrofoam fake nest, Swiftlets like to dip their heads inside so the feel safer)


.
( my Styrofoam fake nest out performced the corner board. Swiftlets prefer the fake nest soak with Love Potion than the corner board)
.

( eggs inside fake nest which had been painted with Love Potion. They are loving the Aroma).

.

...

.Fake nest is a must for new farms if you want Swiftlets to stay and make nest. Throughout my many years of observation and practice of putting fake nests in farms I can conclude that (100%) new nests in farms are built on the fake nests.

.

.

Everybody knew about putting fake nests in farms in fact most are already doing it but are they do it the right way in term of technical applications? Have you fixed them at the right area or position? Is the number enough? Is the shape of the Styrofoam fake nests correct and liked by Swiftlets? And so on...

.

.

Most who had installed fake nests in their farms are very much of following a procedure where they just follow blindly as putting fake nests has become a standard practice for farms. When you ask them is this the correct way to put Styrofoam fake nests that could maximize nests grow? Is this what the birds wanted? They can't answer you for sure.

.

..

Swiftlet that build nests on the fake nests are of young birds as they are still not skillful enough to make nests on straight planks like those experienced ones.

.

..

As I had mentioned before the priority is to capture young birds to build up colonies of birds therefore installing fake nests in farms is a must if we are going after young Swiftlets.

.

..

They are many types of fake nests available in the market often it is costly. Thru my experiences there are no differences between those sold in the market and those make from Styrofoam other than cost.

.

.

In fact on my personal opinion I preferred Styrofoam fake nests as I could shape them whatever size and shape that liked by Swiftlets.

.

..

There are made from different types of material, rubber, plastic, silicon, etc..For me I still prefer those self made or hand made one by myself from Styrofoam. The Styrofoam you could get it from the hardware shops. It comes in 1x2x4’ size.

.

..

In such you can create any shapes, sizes and thickness according to your creativity. This is the most interesting part as you could come out with few shapes or designs, when one is favored by the birds then you can continue to use back the same design.

.

..

I cut them to the shape of birds nests imitate the original shape of bird’s nests cup. The birds seemed to liking it so much.

.

..

Put them 2 feet from the corners or wall and tweeters. I put around 20-30 pcs per floor. Don’t over do it I have seen many farmers putting them almost on every plank. This is not the way to do it. In Swiftlet farming it doesn’t mean the more the better. Over done it will cause harm, “Remember”.

.

..

After I cut them I soaked them in pail filed with Love Potion for few days. Alternately you could paint them with a brush with Love Potion but with paint brush you have to paint at least 4 times after every coat dried, do it every alternate day. After that make sure it is 100% dried. Put them under the sun for at least 2 days.

.

..

After all are done now you can fix them at your farms. The Styrofoam fake nest helps Swiftlets to stay and make nests in new farms. It also can be fixed in old farms that already have nests especially at areas in the farm that are yet have nests. Eg: If the left section of the farm has 40 nests and the right section has got 1 or 2 nests or none at all you can fix the Styrofoam nests there to spread the population. I have done this before.

.

..

Rest assured Swiftlets will build their nests on the Styrofoam nests if you do it this way. I applied this technique in all my farms. If you follow and do it correctly with all micros at it acceptable level you will see nests in your farms within few months time.

.

Good Luck & Good Farming All!

(我的塑胶偽造窝比壁角板更好。燕子喜歡浸泡了 Love Potion的塑胶偽造窝)
(在用了 Love Potion 的假窝裡面的燕子蛋。 他們愛的芳香)。
如果您要燕子停留和做窝，假窝是新燕屋農場的當务之急。 在我投入的許多歲月 在假窝觀察和實踐期间在燕屋農場我可以认為， (100%)新燕屋農場的窝被修造在假窝里。 大家知道关于安裝假窝在燕屋農場已經實際上做着它，但是他們是否用 正确的技術應用方式做它？ 您安裝了它們在正确的區域或安置？ 足够數字？ 塑胶 偽造窝的形狀是否正確和燕子喜歡的, 等等… 在他們的燕屋農場安裝了假窝的多數 是盲目仿效他們的做法，當安裝假窝成為了燕屋農場的标准操作。当您问他們這是否正确的方式来安裝假窝来增長燕窝？ 這是否燕子想要的？ 他們根本无法答復 您。 在假窝里造窝的是幼鸟，因為他們仍然是不够经验在平直的板條做窝像那些有经验的燕子。如同我提及的，因此當务之急要在燕屋農場安裝假窝奪取鳥群，如果我們是要的到年輕燕子。在市場上用許多类型的假窝是可利用的它是昂貴的。 通过我的經驗, 那些在市場上賣的沒有區別的除价钱之外，那些由塑胶料做。 实际上在我的個人 意见, 我更喜歡塑胶料做的假窝， 因為我可以塑造他們到燕子喜歡的任何大小和形 狀。 那裡由不同材料做的、 橡膠、 塑料、 硅等等的的类型。 對于我仍然喜歡我自 己或手做的一個那些自制由塑料。 塑料您可以從五金店买得到它。 它进來1x2x4' 大小。 在這樣您可以根據您的創造性創造所有形狀、大小和厚度。 這是最有趣 的部分，因為您可以設計出來少量的形狀或設計，當一個由燕子喜歡然後时您能继续使用同一個設計。 我仿效的切出燕窝杯子的形狀。燕子似乎非常喜歡它。 安裝他們 在2英尺离角落或牆壁和高音揚聲器。 我安裝了大约每一层20-30個。 不要太多, 我看 見許多屋主幾乎把它們安裝在每個板條上。 這是不对的方式。 在燕屋農場它不是越 多越好。太多將導致害處， 「記住」。 在我切開了它們之後, 我浸泡他們在Love Potion的桶少量天。另一个方法是您可用刷子把 Love Potion 涂上， 但是您必須涂至 少4次， 在每次乾了之後，每隔一天做它。 然后确定它是100%乾的。 放在太陽之下 晒至少2天。做了之後您能安裝在您的燕屋農場。 塑料偽造假窝在新的燕屋農場帮 助燕子停留和做窝。 它也可以在已經有窝的老燕屋農場特别是在未有窝的被安裝。 比如： 如果燕屋農場的左部有40个窝，並且右左部有1或2个窝或根本沒有窝, 您能安裝假窝在那裡。 我以前做过了。 如果您這样做，放心燕子將造他們的窝在 假窝上。 我在我所有的燕屋農場也這样做。 如果您恰當地做並且所有屋内环境是在 可接受的水平, 少量月之內您將在您的燕屋農場看見窝。 祝您好运&大家有好燕屋!

Love Potion for New Farms

.


(with babies on Styrofoam)


( round cup by experience bird)

(rusty staples on wire that had been sprayed with Love Potion)

(all Bird shit spots along the staircase that sprayed with Love Potion)

( 2 empty bottles Love Potion left at the farm)

(Look at the bird shits not thick but there are already nests on top)
.

Last week I was invited to visit a farm owned by Mr. Liew from Prai. He has been using Love Potion since his farm started 4 months ago. He was very proud of his farm and I was given the honor to witness it myself the farm that I had designed and built by Mr. Liew with the help his sons.( DIY).

.

.

Before he builds his farm a year ago he often calls me and sending email like almost everyday seeking for opinions and advices. He was those who strongly believe in No Guessing Game and Do It Right the First Time.

.

.

He once told me he had heard too many stories of failed farms especially from those of his close friends and he definitely does not wish to emulate them.

.

.

His farm was a 2 storey 20x75 located in a good area but not a Prime Zone area. I had visited it before it was renovated in to a Swiftlet farm. Obviously I gave a full green light to Mr. Liew to go ahead after I had done a survey on that area about a year ago.

.

.

To Mr. Liew surprise after 4 months his farm has 38 full cup nests and plenty of nests marking. He didn’t expect such result. All he had expected and wanted was 10 nests in the first a year. He wouldn’t want to expect more than this as this was his first farm and he has no experience.

.

.

One thing interestingly was the birds built most of their nests at the area he had sprayed with most Love Potion claimed Mr. Liew.

.

.

“James I discovered something. You taught me to be observance this is what I discovered speaking with confident.”

.

.

I replied… I don’t see a newbie here do I Mr. Liew? You had learned well.

.

.

Mr. Liew, smiled and patched me on my back and replied. “Sifu you had taught me well”.

.

.

He explained this was the area near the exit (staircase) where all the remainder of Love Potion in the spray pump is all discharged here on the wall before he leaves the farm.

.

.

The birds just love this area claimed Mr.Liew. Ever since then he concentrated 50% of the spray on this area to build up the colony. This is the way to do it. Brilliant!

.

.

I anticipate that to hit 100 or more nests in the first year for this farm is not a problem at all. For sure one thing Mr.Liew is an extra ordinary person when it comes to observance.

.

.

Like I had always advised my readers it not how long that you had got involved in this business it is how fast you learn and how well you know this business.

.

.

I often come across farmers who bragged about their umpteen years experiences in Swiftlet farming but when you get into conversation with them you know how much they knew.

.

.

I am very happy that Mr. Liew’s farm in progressing very well with the helps of Love potion and hope to see him again.

.

.

Good Farming All.

所有燕子粪在樓梯沿(盆射 Love Potion的盆射 Love Potion
(2個空的 Love Potion 瓶子在燕屋農場)
(看来不是很濃厚的燕子粪，但是在上面已經有窝) 上星期我被邀請到Prai參觀Liew先生的燕屋農場。他的燕屋農場開始了4個月，他用了Love Potion。 他為他的燕屋農場感到非常骄傲，並且給了我目擊它的榮譽, 由我 自己設計, 和由Liew先生在他兒子的幫助下修建的燕屋農場。(DIY)。 在他修建他的 燕屋農場之前一年, 他幾乎每天打电话和電子郵件给我尋问观点和忠告。 他是一個 強烈相信沒有猜谜並且第一次一定要完全对的那些人。 他告訴了我他聽了許多失败燕屋農場的故事, 特别是從那些好朋友和他明確地不希望像他們一样。 他的燕屋農場 是位于一個好的區域，但是不是一個頭等區域, 地区20x75的2樓層。 在它被更新 了到燕屋農場之前，我參觀了它。一年前我在那個區域做了勘測之後，我對Liew先生開充分的绿灯去。 Liew先生非常意外在4数月以后他的燕屋農場有38個满杯子的窝和 大量窝的標記。 他沒有期待的到這樣的結果。 他所期望的是在第一年有10個窝。 他 不想期待更多，因為這是他的第一個燕屋農場，並且他沒有經驗。 一件有趣的事是 燕子修造大多數的窝在他們盆射 Love Potion 的地方。 「James 我發現了某事。 您 教我要留意, 這是我發現了」。 我回復了… Liew先生我沒有看見新手？ 您學會了。 Liew先生，微笑和拍拍我的背面和回復。 「师父您教會了我」。 他解釋了, 他将所 有剩下的 Love Potion盆射在出口上的牆壁 (樓梯)附近, 在他離開燕屋農場之前。 Mr. Liew说燕子愛這區域。之後他用50%的 Love Potion在這個區域加強殖民地。 這是 方式是对的。太精采了! 我相信要在這個燕屋農場的第一年有100個窝或更多根本 不是問題。一件肯定的事是Mr.Liew是一個額外留意的人。 如我總是勸告我的讀者, 它不是您在這事務介入了多久, 而是您有多快學會和您有多知道這事務。 我經常遇到 自誇關於他們在燕屋農場的多少年經驗，但是當您與他們交談时, 您知道他們所知道 的根本不多。 我是非常高兴Liew先生的燕屋農場的很好的進步在 Love Potion的幫助 下和希望再见到他。大家有好燕屋。

Maintain The Smell To Capture Young Swiftlets

.

My readers called me asking when I can send them Love Potion as they need it urgently. They are waiting for the Aroma and need it for after harvesting. That is what most of them did spraying Love potion after every harvest and thereafter the number of nests increases.

.

“James, I have been waiting for the Love potion since last week when can I receive it?

....

“Sorry Mr. Chua, I shall send it to you once the fermentation is completed that shall be in 3-4 days time”

.

“James, in this case I have to postpone my harvest till the Love Potion arrives.”

.

“Mr. Chua, I shall send them earlier in the morning in 3-4 days time. Sorry for keeping you waiting.”

.

“James, after spraying Love potion more birds came to play and I see many new patches of white birds shit. What does that mean…..?

.

“Mr.Chua, that is good sign. White shits are commonly from young birds. That means you are capturing many young birds into your farm and in no time they will build nests. That is why your birds’ population increases as well the nests”.

.

“Thank you James, thank you, thank you…..please sms me once you couriered them”.

.

This is what we wanted to capture young adult Swiftlets to our farms. The more they come and play in your farm the higher chances they will be the permanent resident there.

.

Every season there are thousand of young Swiftlets produced by all farms how many actually did our farms captured?

.

Some farms may not capture any at all while other may capture huge percentage. It is winners take it all losers have got none scenario. This is very common in Swiftlets farming.

.

The good and successful farms could have 3-5 fold increment while the number of nests for poor farms remains the same over a long period.

.

In most cases poor farms not only unable to capture young birds at the same time theirs young birds that had just learned to fly left and never come back.

.

There are many reasons for this. Poor farms are unable to up keep and maintain the micros.

.

The micro of the farms changed without being noticed by the farmers and at the same time there are farms in this area that have perfect micros which enticed all young birds to their farms.

.

These good farms have good Aroma, good temp and Rh control, playing the right sound, correct darkness, etc.

If your farms can’t maintain the micros you will be loosing out. Aware of the changes as aroma is part of the micros that needs to be constantly maintained especially for farms that are growing.

.

Moment of wind (ventilation) over a period of time pushes away smell (aroma) that is liked by Swiftlets. The smell escapes through the entrance hole, door gaps, vent holes, etc. It needs to be replenished unless your farms has few thousands nests then it will be a different case.

.

Each and every of the micros have to be maintained well if you don’t want to loose out.

.

Good Farming All!

我的讀者问我什么时候可以送他們 Love Potion，他們迫切的需要它。 他們等待芳香 並且需要在收穫以后用它的。 那是大多數在每個收穫以後噴洒的 Love Potion， 並且 窝的数量爾後增加。 James，我從上星期等待 Love Potion, 我什么时候可以受到？ 「抱歉Chua先生，一旦發酵完成將是在3-4几天内, 我將送到」. 「James， 在這種情 況下我必須延期我的收穫，Love Potion到達之后」。 「Chua先生，我將会在3-4天 之后的早晨送他們。為您等待抱歉」。 「James， 在噴洒Love Potion 之後來的燕子 更多，並且我看見許多新的白色鳥糞。那是什么意思..... ？ . 「Chua先生， 那是好的 预示。 白色糞是從幼鸟。 那意味您奪取許多幼鸟入您的燕屋農場，並且他們立刻將 修造窝。 所以您的燕子人口和窝增長」。 「谢谢 James，谢谢，請谢谢..... sms我， 一旦您快递它」。 這是為什麼我們要奪取年輕燕子到我們的燕屋農場。他們在越多 到您的燕屋農場來玩, 越高機會他們在那裡永久居民。 每個季節是有生產上千的年輕 燕子, 實際上有多少年輕燕子是被我們的燕屋農場奪取的？ 當其他也許奪取巨大的百分比时，有些燕屋農場可能不奪取一個。 它是優勝者採取所有而失敗者什么都沒有 的情況。在燕屋農場這是非常普通的。 當失败燕屋農場窝的数量在長时间依然是同 樣的， 好和成功的燕屋農場可能有3-5倍的增加。 在許多情况下, 失败的燕屋農場不僅無法同時奪取年輕燕子, 当年輕燕子刚刚学习飛行也飞走了不回来。 有許多原因。 失败的燕屋農場无法保留和維護屋内环境。 燕屋農場的屋内环境时常改變也不被屋主发现，同時那個區域裡也有更完善的屋内环境誘惑所有年輕的燕子到他們的燕屋農場。 這些好的燕屋農場有好芳香、 好的温度和湿度控制， 播放正确的聲音、 正確的黑暗等等。 如果您的燕屋農場不可能維護屋内环境您将成输家。留意變動因为 芳香是燕屋農場的一部分, 是需要特别維護尤其是在成长中的燕屋農場。 風(透氣) 經過一段時間将撒发燕子喜歡的氣味(芳香)。 氣味通过入口孔、 門空白、通风孔 等等逃脫。 它需要被重新補充， 除非您的燕屋農場有以萬計窝然而它是不同的案件。 如果您不想要失败，其中每一個屋内环境必須很好被維護。大家有好燕屋!

If you claim you know everything that’s mean you know nothing

I was busy remixing some new sounds to add to my Swiftlets sound collect some one called me. I had a good laugh and it was the best medicine for that day.

.

Hi Pak H…..saya dari…T….saya nak jumpa Pak….

I replied I am no the Pak you are looking for. Who actually you are looking for? There so many Swiftlets farming bloggers who and which of them you are actually looking for?

.

He replied...ya saya cari Pak H…lah….betul lah…you Pak H…lah . I insisted that I am not Pak H…saya bukan orang yang you nak cari. Saya bukan Pak H…..saya James…

.

I asked him where and how he got my no? He never answered that doesn’t bother me anyway.

.

He insisted again that I am Pak H… Over my dead body I definitely not Pak H..I replied with a harsh voice. I told him repeatedly I am James NOT this or that Pak or whatsoever.

.

He finally realized that I am not the one that he is looking for and without embarrassment he asked me for Pak H telephone no.

.

What a brilliant farmer potentially going to be the best farmer available……

.

Also Without hesitating I gave him Pak H number and ask him to send my regards to Pak H. since he is calling him as we all in the Swiftlets farming industry know each other.

.

You know what happened? He can't get thru the line to Pak H…. and he called me again. What a brilliant best Swiftlets farmer on earth.

.

He asked me do I have Super Good Cd Swiftlet sound. I replied what do you mean by super good Cd sound? He replied, those sounds that can attract few thousand of birds. I replied… oh I see….. ya..ka…begitu….

.

He asked how many Swiftlets cd sound do I have? I replied, not many few hundred only (only good ones). Without hesitating he asked me …… boleh James bawa semua cd yang ada bagi saya test one by one ..jika bagus saya beli….

.

My reply was sorry lah brother….tak perlu beli dengan saya tak perlu test..You go and buy from Pak H… lah…is better you buy from him …and I am sure he will let you test one by one….I was holding back my laugh…luckily it didn’t burst.

.

Wooo…this guy bukan main…inside me laughing, I purposely asked him you must be very experience in Swiftlets farming and Swiftlets sound…the reply was boleh lah…then I prompted him further …then you must know what is mating sound, colony sound, fighting sound and so on…from here he was blur….real blur and replied Ya …ka…ada suara macam itu ka..kenapa saya tak tau? (Wanted to test Swiftlet sound one by one yet don’t know how to differentiate them..ha…ha..ha…I almost drop dead)

.

Since he was on the line I prompted him again. How is your farm? How many farms do you have? And so on. He replied he has a farm of 1 year plus in a Prime zone area.

.

I replied … that is good. He giggled and replied …tak bagus ….lah.

.

I asked how many nest …2 biji …4 biji… …berapa? He replied “ Tak ada”…

.

In fact inside me I knew it will be a bad…bad farm otherwise I wouldn’t have suggested 2 to 4 nests… 2 to 4 is already over rated his ability. I accept I am being sarcastic….

.

I asked, how can 2 biji pun tak ada….. He replied yes not a single nest….satu biji pun tak ada.

.

Since he claimed to know about sound and wanted to test few hundred cd sounds before he buys I dam curios to know what swiftlets sound he was using in his farm.

.

Apa cd you guna? Without surprise which I had presumed….

.

He replied Stress sound (Duress).

.

What a brilliant farmer…I told him didn’t you know that Duress is only for testing only and not for long term usage in farm? Ya …ka….I.. tidak tahu ….this was the reply from a person what wanted to test hundreds of good Swiftlets Cd sound before deciding which to buy.

.

It was the laugh of the day. Someone called me and insisted that I am the other person and he ended up learning the reason why his farm has got no nest.

.

Well like I had always said “Bad things happen for good”. In this case the bad thing was on me he called and disturbed me…and the good thing is that he learned not to use Duress sound in farm.

.

Besides that the other good thing I did have a good laugh!

.

So if you claimed you know everything that’s mean you know nothing.

.

That's very common in Swiftlets farming ...everybody know everythings. Isn't it good ...then there will be no failed farms.

.

Good Farming!

当我忙于混合一些的聲音我所收集到新的燕子聲音, 一個人打电话给我。 我觉得很好 笑，並且它是那天的最佳的良药。 嗨 H ..... 我是从… T….我想见你…. 我回復了, 我不是您正在寻找的。實際上您是尋找誰？这里有那么多的燕子部落客, 和您實際上 尋找哪位？ 他回復了… 是的，对的, 我是找你，你是H。 我坚持， 我不是你要找的 H。我不是H ..... 我是 James… . 我问他在哪裡和怎樣得到了我的电话号码？ 他未曾 回答 無論如何不打擾我。 他再堅持了我是H… 我非常不高兴的回復我不是H. 明確地 與苛刻的聲音。 我告訴了他我是 James 不是那位H或者任何。 他最後意识到我不是 他尋找的那個，並且，他要求我H的電話号码。 精采的燕屋主最佳的燕屋主.... 並且，不猶豫我給了他H的電話号码並且要求他送我的問候到H.，因為告诉他，當我們全部在燕屋农业生产彼此了解。 您知道发生了什么事? 他打不通给H…. 他再打 给我。 在地球上的精采最佳的燕屋主。 他问我有没有超級好的燕子CD 聲音。 我回 復了您所说的超級好的CD聲音是什么意思？ 他回復了， 可能吸引上千的燕子的那些聲音。 我回復了…哦我明白了..... 这样….. 他再问我有多少燕子CD的聲音？ 我僅回復了，不是很多，只是上一百(好那些)。 沒有猶豫他請求我...... James 你可以把所用CD带来给我一个一个试。如果好的，我帮你买…. 我的回復是抱歉 兄弟….你不需要试也不需要买。您去帮H买…從他購買是更好的…，並且我肯定他將讓您一个一个測試….我幸好没有笑出来…。 Wooo… 這個人不是扼要…我裡面在 笑， 我故意问他您在燕屋必须是非常有經驗的，尤其是燕子聲音…回復是还好啦 …我然後再问他…您一定一步知道什麼是打种聲音，殖民聲音，與戰鬥聲音等等…從在這里他迷離….真正的迷離和回復的是… 有这样的的聲音？ 为什么我不知道 (想一 个一个測試燕子聲音，但是不會區分他們。. 哈… 哈... 哈… 我幾乎喷饭) . 我然後再 问他。您的燕屋農場是怎麼？ 您有多少個燕屋農場等等。 他回復了他的燕屋農場 有1年多在一個頭等區域。 . 我回復了…是好。 他嘻嘻笑了並且回復了…不好。 我问多少個窝… 2 個… 4 個… 多少 ？ 他回復了「没有」… 实际上我知道是壞燕 屋農場…否則我不會说2到4個窝… 2到4個窝已經對他的能力高估計。 我知道我是很 諷刺…. . 我问，怎麼可能2 個窝都没有 ..... 他回復是没有個窝….一個也没有。 因為 他声称知道关于聲音並且要买之前先想測試上百個CD的聲音，我是超级想知道他在他的燕屋農場是玩什麼聲音的。您的燕屋農場是玩什麼聲音的? 没有出于我意料之外. 他回復了重音聲音(束縛)。正是一个精采的燕屋主, 我告訴了他, 您不知道束縛聲音 僅是為了测试和不對于長期用在燕屋農場？哈！是吗？我不知道….這是從一个人要买之前先想測試上百個CD的聲音的回復。正是天大的笑话。一個打错电话，并且坚持我是另一個人，並且他學會為什么他的燕屋農場沒有窝的原因。 很好， 如我總是說 「壞事發生永远是有理由的」。 在這种情况下, 壞事是, 他打错电话干擾我…好事是, 他學會不在燕屋農場使用束縛聲音。 除了那以外另一件好事是我有個好笑! 因此， 如果您认为您知道一切, 事实是您什么都不知道。 在燕屋農場这是非常普通的… 大家都知道一切。那不是很好吗…如果是那就不会有那么多的失败的燕屋農場。 . 好燕屋!

Partition In Swiftlets Farm

.
.


Partition at the Entrace Hole.
.
.

There are 2 thought of school when it comes to internal design of a farm.

Some strongly believe in partitioning while the other believes in open system type (hall).

.

/

So which is more superior? The answer is both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

/

/

There are many reasons of creating partitioning in farms some of the reasons are reducing light, reduce and prevents movement of wind, creating good flying path, force element of bird flying path, etc. In order to achieve all these one must know where and how to install the partitions.

/

/

There is no guessing game here. If one is unsure and installed the partition based on its perception without any basis of knowledge of what is light intensity (lux), what is flying path, what is wind movement, what is force element and so on then the partitions in the farm will be a threat to the farm rather than help. In other word it is disaster.

/

/

Know where to put them, the right place to ensure it would be added advantage rather than sabotaging your own farm. Thru my experiences of having visited uncounted failed farms sad to say 9 out of 10 farmers are actually putting threats in their farms instead of helping.

.

.

In fact partitioning also affects Temp and Rh in farms. If you know how to play with it, it would be a useful tool for you to tune up the Micro.

.

.

If the Partitions are being install on the wrong areas in the farm it will restrict the moment of birds thus forcing them not to fly inner or deeper into the farm.

.

.

Because of this it will take a long time for birds to build nests and the population grow will be slow.

.

.

There is no standardized partitioning system when it comes to Swiftlets Farm Designing. It all depended on the size of the farm. The location whether it is located at the windy area like sea side, hills, beach side, etc……

.

.

Besides that it also must take into consideration of the area the farm located, is it at prime birds zone area or otherwise. By in dept understanding of all the above it would help you in determining how the partitioning should be don’t, where should it be located, the correct distance and sizes, etc……

.

.

Bear in mind the Partitioning in the farm is to create a good Micro thus helping farm to attract birds to stay and to make nests.

.

.

For sure it is not for satisfying our own needs of follow others or just because you have heard or seen some successful farms with Maze type partitioning and you just follow that will be disaster.

.

.

So the conclusion is whenever you renovate farms making sure you know what you are doing and know the consequences afterward

.

.

Also make sure the erection of partitions in your farm is to help your farm to attract birds to stay and build nests not the opposite.

.

Partitioning is one of the very useful tools that can help to create a good Micro at the same time it is also one of the Most Powerful tools that can put your farm in disastrous position if you did it wrongly.

.

.

Hope my advice on Partitioning would help those who are setting up new farms and those that intended to renovate their farms.

.

Good Farming everyone!

在入口洞的分開。
當談到燕屋農場內部設計有2個不同的想法。一些強烈相信分開式，另一些相信開放式(大廳)。那一个是更加優越的？ 答復是, 他們兩個都有自己的好處和缺點。有許多 的原因在燕屋農場裡創分開式和其中一个原因是減少光线，減少並且阻止風，創造好飛行道路、燕子飛行道路的力量元素等等為了達到所有這一個必须知道安裝分開。 如果一個是缺乏信心的並且安裝了根据它的悟性的分開, 沒有什麼的知識的任何依據是光强度，什麼是飛行道路，什麼是風，什麼是力量元素等等那么分開在燕屋農場將是對農場的一個威脅而不是幫助。 在其他詞它是災害。知道在哪裡安裝他們，正确的地方保證它是增加好處而不是破壞您自己的燕屋農場。 通过我的經驗, 可悲的是有9在10位屋主不合格的, 實際上他們安裝了威脅而不是幫助。 实际上, 分開也在燕屋農場影響温度和湿度。 如果您會使用 它，它是有用的工具来调整屋内环境。 如果分開是安裝在錯誤的地方, 它將制約因而 迫使燕子不飞行內在或更深入燕屋農場。 因此將需要很長的时间来让燕子造窝， 並且燕子人口增長將是慢的。在燕屋農場的設計系統是沒有規範化的分開。 它所有 取决于燕屋農場的大小。 地點它是否位于像海边、小山、 海灘邊等等的有風區域...... 除了那些以外它必须也考慮到區域被找出的燕屋農場，它是否在頭等燕子區域或不 是。 由在深一层理解, 對所有之上將幫助您確定怎麼是應該的分成，其中應該找出 它， 正確距離和大小等等...... 在燕屋農場記住分成是安裝来帮助燕屋農場有个好的 屋内环境来吸引燕子停留和造窝。 肯定它不是為了满足我們自己需要跟隨其他或因為您聽見了或看見了有迷宮班的一些成功的燕屋農場，因為您將跟隨災害。 因此結 論是， 每當您更新燕屋農場保證您知道您做什麼並且之後知道後果。 並且确定分 開的架設在您的燕屋農場是帮助您的燕屋農場吸引燕子停留和造窝而不是相反的。 分成是非常有用的工具来幫助創造好的屋内环境, 同時它也是其中一個杀伤力的的 工具, 如果您不正當地做了它的位置在您的燕屋農場。 希望我的在分成的忠告將幫 助設定新的燕屋農場和打算更新他們的燕屋農場的那些人。 . 大家好燕屋農場!!

"8 months not a Single NEST"

.

.

“Dear James, there are hundreds of birds came and play everyday for the pass 8 months but not a single nest was built... What is the problem? Can you please help?” This was what Mr. Chan from Kuantan cried.

.

.

His farm started operation 8 months ago in a Prime Bird Area. He is new in Swiftlet Farming. Few months after attending a seminar and knowledge learned from close friends he undertakes the construction of his farm by himself with the help of few Indon workers.

.

.

He is very unhappy about the result. In fact he told me. James “I am expecting

about 100 -200 nests in the 1^st year and now it is already 8 months. I had used all the latest Swiftlet farming equiments in my farm. How come I don’t even see 1 % of what I had expected?".

.

..

I was muted but I can’t blame him. This kind of aim ( 100-200 nests 1st year) is very common for newbies in fact the more experiences we are the lower the target we set but not so for newbies.

.

.

When the sound was switched on hundred of birds came and play everyday even 8 months later there are still plenty of birds came and play everyday.

.

.

Unfortunately there is not even one nest. I replied “I am sure there are birds dropping in your farms. I am sure all the old shits dried up and you see new ones every time”.

.

.

Yes James” how did you know? I replied well I have seen and visited this type of farms before. I explained, the birds came and play they also stayed but not for long some how something forced them to abandoned or prevented them from making nests.

.

.

I told him there are many reasons for the birds not making nests in your farm. Knowing that hundreds of birds came and play this shows that the farm able to attract birds which is a very positive sign.

.

.

What Mr. Chan could do is to find the causes (internally) that affect his farm and rectify them immediately. With many birds came and play everyday I am confident if the problems are solved there would be nests in his farm in 2-3 months time.

.

.

Thru our conversation I advised him to look for the causes and teach him how to rectify them.

.

.

I advised him to use Love Potion after the rectification works to enhance fast nests grow. He was very happy about it as now there is a direction for him to head. For the past 8 months he was only waiting and don’t know what to do other than crossing his fingers and hopping and wishing for 100-200 nests he had targeted with no basis to support this growth.

.

.

Setting a target is easy but achieving it is totally different thing. Often than not I find that the less knowledgeable and less experience farmers would have high expectation on their farm in term of number of nests compared to the more experience farmers. Why is this so?......well that is for you guys to find out…

.

.

Two to there months from now I shall be visiting his farm and see the changes and up date the out come on my blog.

.

.

Got to go now... having an appointment meeting 4 readers from Singapore…. And I am late…

.

.

Good Farming!

「James，在过去的8個月每天都有数百的燕子來玩，但是未一沒有造窝… 有什么 问题? 請可幫助？」這是從Kuantan的Chan先生说到。 他的燕屋農場在頭等燕子地区 開始操作了8個月。 他在燕屋農場是个新人。 在出席研討會和從朋友获取知識以后, 他在少量的印尼工人幫助下承擔他的燕屋農場建築。 他对結果是非常不愉快的。 实 际上, 他告訴我。 James「我预算100 -200个窝在第1年内，現在已經是8個月。 我在我的燕屋農場使用了所有最新的燕屋产品。為什麼我沒看見1%我期待的呢？"。 我是無言的，但是我不可能責備他。 這种目標 (100-200个窝在第1年内) 作為新人, 實際上是非常共同的, 越多經驗的我們, 目標越是低的, 我們不象新人，但是。 當一开 了聲音, 並且以后每天有数百的燕子仍然來了和每天來玩。 不幸的是沒有一个窝。 我回復了「我肯定在您的燕屋農場有燕子粪。 我肯定有久的糞乾了和您每次有看到 新的燕子粪」。 . . 是的 James您怎麼知道？」 我回復了, 我以前參觀了很多好象 这样的燕屋農場。 我解釋了， 他們有停留在您的燕屋農場， 但是某些事或某些东西防止他們停留甚至放棄他們做窝。 我告訴了他有許多原因燕子不在您的燕屋農場 做窝。 知道您的燕屋農場有吸引数百燕子來了表示您的燕屋農場非常这是好的开始。 Chan先生可能做的是發現起因(內部)影響他的燕屋農場並且立刻矯正他們。 許多燕子 來了，並且每天有來玩, 我確信，如果問題解決了, 燕屋農場在2-3個月肯定有窝。 通过我們的交談, 我勸告他尋找起因和教他如何矯正他們。 在提高快速的窝的整 流工作增長之後，我勸告他用 Love Potion。 因為現在有他的一個方向朝向， 他對 此是非常愉快的。因為过去的8個月他只等待和不知道怎样做, 除了期待和等待 和祝願他预算沒有依據這個发展的100-200個窝之外。 設置目標是容易的， 但是達到它是完全不同的事。我发现通常比较少博學和經驗的屋主會有高期待, 反而多 經驗的屋主比较少。 為什麼如此是這？...... 还是你們自己发现吧… . . 二到三个月后 我會參觀他的燕屋農場，並且會在我的部落格交待。我得去了…現在要見從新加坡的4個讀者…. 並且我晚了… . . 好燕屋農場!
