You may wonder why you had already done the best and yet Swiftlet still don’t make nests. Sometimes you may even consider giving up. While your friends farms started before yours now are harvesting many kgs yet your farm still struggling to reach 10 nests.
.
You may think that you have done the best but somehow your best to others is nothing but simple things like putting up boards to cover window, installing plank and play sound which are common to all farms.
.
There are many reasons why a farm fails. After visited so many farms majority of the failed farms are those that did not meet the common basic requirement of good Macro and Micro.
.
Some of them are:
1) The Location of the farm is located outside the habitat of swiftlets area which swiftlets seldom come to search for food. ( Not Prime Zone Area)
2) Poor condition of Micro, Temp, Rh, Aroma, etc
3) Wrong design of the farm and Poor design of the internal of the farm
4) Size of the Entrance Hole either too small or too big and placing them on the wrong side of the farm
5) Formation of nesting plank, too narrow or too wide between planks. Making perching and landing very hard on planks.
6) Using wrong material or wood for nesting planks.
7) Gap between nesting planks & ceiling which allow wind to blow thru.
8) Mold and fungus on planks. ( using wrong wood)
.
9) Termites and wood bugs on planks.
.
10) Leakage on building water sipping thur the floor or ceiling and damaged all planks.
.
11) Predators such as rats, cockroaches, owl, lizard, ants, etc.
.
12) Farm located in industry area that emitted gases.
.
13) Ground floors of farms are of car spraying, heavy machinery repairing, manufacturing, etc which created noises that frighten birds.
.
14) Poor selection of building material uses in constructing or renovating of farm. Some materials have smells that disliked by birds. I guess many didn’t know.
.
15) Positioning of the entrance hole.
.
16) Using wrong sound, internal for external and via versa.
.
17) Using wrong Amplifier (instrumental type as the Khz is different)
.
18) Poor quality of sound
.
19) Too many farms sharing the same sound.
.
20) The Sound either too loud or too soft
.
21) Use the wrong type of tweeter ( magnetic type)
.
22) Wrong formation of tweeter set up in farm
.
23) Using too many sound in one farm
.
24) Using wrong sound ( stress sound )
.
25) The list can go on to few hundred items…….
.
26) ……..
.
27) ……..
.
.
I guess I have to stop have to go farm visiting now.
.
So does your farm meets those entire standards or has taken into consideration of the above before it was built? If not how could you own a successful farm? Craving for a successful farm is useless. So make some changes today. Time is money.
.
Good farming All!.
