(100% all are Swiftlet farms)
Many farmers believe that building a farm in an area that has many existing farms would have added advantage. Their farms would be easily successful especially in areas that many of its shop lots had been converted into farm
There are many birds in these areas everybody wants to own a farm here believing failure is evitable.
Did they ever think that this is battle ground? Did they ever think about the disadvantages that associated with it?
.
Many claimed that having more farms in an area is better as our farms could capture all those young birds. Who are capturing whose birds? Do you have the ability to do so? Or others farms are capturing all your young birds.
.
Some of the things that may affect your farm in these areas:
.
-Sound war, birds are confused with the loud sound from every farm. All sort of sounds are being played that included using Stress sound to attract birds . If your farm is next to such farm then you are in trouble
-Frequent changes of sound from farms’ owners that have very little knowledge about swiftlet sound. If a weird and bad quality sound is being played every week from one of these farms it will affect your bird’s population especially your farm is next to them.
-Farms that always do renovation every other week. The hacking and knock of wall would affect birds next door.
-Put and erecting netting, wire or structure on top of the roof that affect the flying route of birds and obstruct birds from entering your farm's entrance hole.
-Building additional floor next to your farm.
More…..how about you figure it out…..
These are the external factors that we have no control of, so choose an area well before you decided to buy a shop lot and convert it into a Swiftlet Farm.
Good Farming All!
