(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).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!

(一般的塑胶偽造窝多數的形狀)
(我的方式，塑胶偽造窝, 燕子喜歡把头深入里面更加安全的感受)
(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!
