Low Price High Quality Amp

(with blue led power indication)

( Sd/Usb port ready. High speed reading)

.

.

There are so many Amps in the market. Most were designed not for Swiftlet chirping sound. They were designed for Karaoke use where vocal clarity is priority. Therefore most of them response to frequency at the K or below the K or minus K for vocal purposes.

.

.

Whereas for swiftlet chirping sound it falls on the higher side of the K to 20 Khz. So simply selecting an Amp from the market to use it for your farm is not wise.

.

.

Besides that Amp for Swiftlet farm has to be powerful enough to handle many tweeters. If not powerful enough and when overload occur the Amp will burn. This is very common, after the sound is switched on for couple of weeks and one fine day you visit your farm and discovered the Amp is not running anymore. Perhaps the Amps had burned.

.

.

.

The above picture is a BGB Amp many of my readers are using it. After trying out and tested. I discovered this is the most economical and money for value Amp in the market for Swiftlet sounds.

.

.

Though it has only 2 channels (left & right) the power is much higher than those famous & expensive Swiftlet Amp in the market. Tested it could handle up to 800 tweeters (some even tried 1000 tweeters) (piezo), 400 each for left and right. It can play 24/7 with stable temperature.

.

.

The sound "superb" could match or even better than those that are double the price. That is not all it comes with a build in internal fan to cool the system.

.

.

Rarely do I see Amps with such good features and quality with such price (Rm 390.00 excluding postage ). The power output is 150w + 150w = 300w. The Size of the Amp is 17x13x5”.

流行有高相互層的燕屋農場

(高屋頂的設計相似戰前的商店)

(同一個大廈從侧视)

(甚而新商店全部的設計也是高相互層的)

我是刚從北部參觀燕屋農場回来的。 天氣是很熱的我猜測這是Elnino。 通常在這个时间將会下雨但今年不是。雨是下了，但是它不是足够来冷却这热的空氣。

但是在巴生谷雨是下的很大的，並且雲是变得更加厚，看起來热天气是将结束了。 燕子是愛雨的，並且現在您可以看见更多的燕子出来玩，因為濕氣很高。

在我的參觀期間我發現了一件事。 看起來现在的燕屋農場流行建造比標準之外更高的每個相互層。實際上這不是新的，許多年前我參觀过这样的燕屋農場它的相互層的高度是在15英尺之上。 它的原因是燕子喜歡，越高越好。 其次，它可以防止竊賊。

有了這樣的神話看见有高过15英尺的相互層是不凡的。另一個的原因是複製戰前商店的設計，因為，多數戰前商店的相互層是非常高的。不僅它的相互層是高的，但是它的屋頂也是超过15 英尺的。 這是為了减少白天的热度来創造更好的屋内环境。
如果是这样的原因，有戰前商店高度的相互層是增加的好處。

高度是重要的，但是只到某種程度。 如果整體的設計不好或没有好的屋内环境， 高的相互層是没有任何目的的。

不是像有8或9 英尺的低相互層的燕屋農場燕子將不喜欢。 实际上，有許多8-9英尺高度的燕屋農場也是非常成功的。

它必須是一個整體的包装，一切必须在一个可以接受的水平才可以吸引燕子到燕屋農場停留和做窝。 有高相互層的的燕屋農場將增加建筑的费用。

一些說，钱不是問題，但是您是否有必要做一个不平常高度的相互層吗？

對我来说任何從9-14 英尺的高度是足够好的。 不要忘記越高我們是越难收穫的。 那就是说您需要花费更多的时间来收穫相同数量的窝。

美丽的照片

這是經典的照片燕子在有平橫線的三甲板上造窝。

我在几年前看見过這个照片和保留它在我的個人电脑。 今天，當轉移有些照片到我的外置硬盘时我找倒了我保留了以千之中的這些美好的照片。 我認為这是一张好的照片所以我放在我的部落格上。

我肯定許多有看見过这张照片，但是新的燕屋農場主和以前沒看过的那些人肯定会喜欢。

燕子是不可以棲息的它們只可以垂懸在牆壁、板條上等等，只要有东西它們的爪可能夾住的他們就可以垂懸。 所以看在电線、粗礪的牆壁、被暴露的釘子和螺絲等等修造的窝是不凡的。

通过看到這些照片您會瞭解板條的高度和板條上的線是多么的重要。一些人说沒有線或凹線的板條是更好的。 但是這些板條告诉您不是。 我不相信神話，但是我不知道您。照片證明一切。

The Trend of Building Farm with High Inter-Floor

(high roof design similar to pre-war shop)

(the same building from side view)

(even the new shop lots are designed with high inter-floor)

I've just got back from farm visiting in the North. The weather is hot I guess this is Elnino. During this time it would have rain but not this year. It did rain but it is not heavy enough to cool down the air.

Where as in the Klang Valley it rains heavily and the cloud is getting thicker and it seems that the hot weather is over. Birds love rain and now you could see more birds playing as the humidity is high.

During my visit I discovered something. It seems that there is a trend of building farm with the height of each floor beyond the required standard. This is not new in fact many years ago I had visited farms which have inter-floor height of above 15ft. Reason being Swiftlets like it, the higher it is the better. Secondly to prevent thief.

With such myth it is uncommon to see inter-floor height of more than 15 ft. Another reason being is to copy the pre-war shop’s design as most pre-war shops inter-floor is very high. Not only the height is more than 15 ft but the roof also. This is to reduce heat during the day time thus creating better micro.

Well if based on how and what the pre-war shop has achieved then having high inter-floor would be an added advantage.

Height is important but to a certain extent. If the whole design doesn’t compliment or help in enhancing better micro then having very high inter-floor would not serve any purposes.

It is not that farms that have low inter-floor like 8 or 9 ft will be disliked by birds. In fact there are many farms of 8-9ft height are very successful too.

It has to come in a whole package, everything must be at a certain acceptable level in order for the farm to attract birds to stay and make nests.

Building farm with high inter-floor would push up the cost of construction making the building expensive.

Well some say cost is not an issue here but is it necessary to have a higher than normal inter-floor to make a different?

To me any height from 9-14 ft is good enough. Don’t forget the higher it is the harder for us to harvest. That means you need to spend more time to harvest the same amount of nests.

Good farming All!

Beautiful Pictures

Here are the classic pictures of Swiftlets building nests on flat Plywood with wiring attached horizontal across them.

I have had seen these pictures many years ago and had kept them in my PC. Today while transferring some pictures to my external hard disk I stumbled upon these beautiful pictures among thousand that I had kept. I think it would be good to post it onto my Blog.

I am sure many have seen them before but it would be good for those who are new in Swiftlets farming and those who have not seen them before.

Swiftlets can’t perch they hang onto walls, planks,etc as long there are something that their claws could grip they will hang on it. That is why it is uncommon to see nests built on wiring, rough walls, exposed nails and screw,etc.

By looking at these pictures you would understand how important the height of the farm and the lines on the nesting plank are. Some claimed Planks that have no line or groove are better. But these pictures tell otherwise.

I don’t believe in myth but I don’t know you. Pictures prove everything.

Good farming All!

在黃昏飞入的燕屋農場的燕子的數字能辯解燕窝的數字吗？

在天黑之前飞入入口孔的燕子的數字能辯解窝的數字在燕屋農場裡面吗？ 這是另一個問題被我的讀者提出的。

在某種程度上是的，但是。 经过我的經驗，我會建議在為每1窝他們是大约8-10隻燕子在燕屋農場。

一些也許争辩说，每1窝就有2隻燕子。 明显地我們知道它需要2隻燕子来修造1个窝。 記住燕子可以停留在燕屋農場，但是他們可能不立即修造窝。 一些也許是不足够成熟来的修造窝的幼燕子，當其他也許太老以至于不能创立一时。 一些也許為停留了几个星期的夫婦然后離開。

我看見过，並且我自己目擊燕屋農場有大量的燕子停留和居住，但是在燕屋農場裡面窝的数量是有限的使我驚奇。

不久之前我參觀了一個在Johor的引人註目的燕屋農場。 燕屋主投署他的朋友祝賀他有的一個成功的燕屋農場，當每天黃昏的时候他們看見进入他燕屋農場的燕子有几百只。

在那個區域附近，他的燕屋農場有大多数的燕子与其他燕屋農場比较。 它是一個三年的燕屋農場。 當參觀燕屋農場的时候它只有少于20个我在裡面。 這是真正的發生了当然这也归于有一些問題在那燕屋農場的。

因此在黃昏进入燕屋農場的燕子的數字也許有時会唬弄我們的。 无论如何，没有进入燕屋農場對每8-10隻燕子得1个窝的估計仍然是一個好的指南。 别人也許有不同的建議，但是這是我的看法。

Could Number of Swiftlets Entering Farm at Dusk Justisfy the Number Of Nest?

Could number of Swiftlets entering the Entrance Hole before dark justify the number of nest inside the farm? This is another question posted to me by my reader.

Well yes but to a certain extent. Thru my experiences, I would suggest for every 1 nest in the farm they would be approximately 8-10 birds.

Some may argue that for every 1 nest there would be 2 birds. Obviously we know that it needs 2 birds to build 1 nest. Bear in mind birds may stay in farm but they may not build nest instantly. Some might be young birds that are not mature enough to build nests while others may be too old to build one. Some may just stay for couple of weeks and leave later.

I had seen and witnessed it myself farms of having plenty of birds playing and staying but the low number of nests inside the farm surprised me.

There is one noticeable farm in Johor that I had visited not too long ago. The owner cried that all his friend congratulate him for having a successful farm as everyday they see few hundred of bird entering his farm at dusk.

His farm has the most birds compared to other farms around that area. It was a 3 year old farm. While visiting the farm there were less than 20 nests inside. This really happens of cos this is due to some problems in the farm.

So number of birds entering farm at dusk may sometimes fool us. Nevertheless the 1 nest to every 8-10 birds would be still a good guideline for estimating the number of nests without entering farms. Different people may suggest differently but this is my opinion.

我們是否因该塗灰泥在牆壁上？

我們是否應該塗灰泥在牆壁上？ 當上星期我參觀了我一位讀者的燕屋農場时他问了我这个問題。

但是如果您问我，我是同意的。 塗灰泥在牆壁上的原因是，創造一個更強固的結構，更好的保冷，創造光滑的表面，以便防止掠食性動物爬上等等。

但是也有明顯的原因不塗上灰泥在內部牆壁。 主要的原因是保持在燕屋農場的潮濕 (RH)。 黏土磚吸收水分並且保留他們，因而創造更高的RH。

因此，如果您有一臺潤濕器在您的没有塗灰泥黏土磚的燕屋農場，水蒸气將吸收入牆壁您可以因而縮短潤濕器的运行时间。

另外一个弱点是掠食性動物容易攀登入特別是老鼠。 但是我會喜欢塗灰泥在牆壁上並且让潤濕器开得長的时间。 这是由個人偏爱決定的。

一些會爭論，不塗灰泥在牆壁上的費用是整體的想法。 我認為这是非常傻的。 如果您可以花費十几千或几十萬在燕屋農場，那数千零吉是什麼呢。 有时它真正地沒有道理。

所以我总是說如果您是想要成为一位成功的燕屋主您是需要有一点聰明的。

Should We Plaster The Walls

Should we plaster the wall? This was the question asked by my reader when I visited his farm last week.

If you ask me I would say yes. The reason for plastering the wall is, to create a stronger structure, better heat insulation, create a smooth surface so that it is hard for predator to climb and so on.

Obviously there are also reasons for not plastering the internal wall. The main on is to retain the moist ( RH ) of the farm. The Clay Brick absorbs water and retains them thus create a higher RH.

So if you have a humidifier in your farm with un plastered Clay brick the water vapor will be absorbed by the bricks thus you could shorten the running time of the humidifier.

The set back is it is easy for predators to climb especial rats. Somehow for me I would prefer plastering the wall and run the humidifiers longer. Well it is up to personal preferences.

Some would argue cost is the whole idea of not plastering the wall. I think that is very silly. If you could spend ten of thousand or few hundred thousand on a farm what is additional few thousand. Sometimes it really doesn’t make sense.

That is why I always say if you want to be a successful farmer you need to have some intelligent.

Good Farming All!

我的讀者喷Love Potion在高音揚聲器

昨天當我從南部大约10晚上回來时，我是非常的疲乏的。 我的手提電話突然響了。 我本来打算不回复的，但是它继续響，当我看看的时候是我的好朋友的打来的。 实际上，他是我部落格的讀者從2008年开始，並且以后我們成為了好朋友。

当我告訴自己这将会是一個很快的交谈，因為一些打来的可以和我交談上幾個小時的？ 結果它是一个好地發現，並且我與所有的讀者分享它的经验。

你好James，我有些事相告訴您，我觀察了新的事和發現了與您CD的聲音和Love Potion有关的。

是的K.K先生，您發現了什麼？ 我希望它是好的，因为我是刚從南部回来的，並且我是非常疲乏的。

James，记得2個星期前您寄给我的外在CD聲音和要我播放在第二個入口。 我以我的額外的創造性我把Love Potion喷在高音揚聲器上和周圍的區域。 您知道什麼吗？ 今天我去那裡时，我的燕屋農場裡面有許多的燕子和十只以上垂懸在我喷了Love Potion的高音揚聲器上。 我是非常惊讶的看到它。

您的CD聲音是非常好的，並且加上Love Potion結果它成为了完善的组合。 燕子变疯狂了。 您應該自己来看看。

噢，K.K先生您發現了新的事，这是非常好的。 保持它。 很好，我將嘗試在我的燕屋農場。
谢谢你，K.K先生分享新的技術。 並非許多是像您一样的。

James，别這么客气。 实际上我是感激您的。 您教了我許多金錢不可能買到的事。 我仍然记得我由一位知名的顧問建造了一间花費Rm300k以上并且在2年里只有10个窝的燕屋農場。 您的教導和忠告幫助了我很多，並且今天我從少于10个窝的燕屋農場到之少上百的燕窝。

K.K先生，我肯定您的燕窝增加了。 是的，James，它是增加了我不可能甚而相信它。 谢谢。 James师傅。

並且我们繼續交談，當我看我的手錶时，我們幾乎談了1小時的话，毫无注意到。 我告訴他我們應該在這個週末的茶会繼續談論。

希望這將幫助想拉扯更多燕子入更加深的區域。 如同我提及的，燕子进入更多區域或飛行或探索越高機會他們將做窝並且停留。

因此，是您的創造性来發現意想不到的事。 沒有試驗沒有學會。

Spray Love Potion on Tweerters by My Reader

I was drop dead tired yesterday when I came back from the south at about 10pm. My hand phone rang abruptly. I intended not to answer the call but it keeps on ringing and I look at the screen it was from a good friend of mine. In fact he was a reader of my Blog since 2008 and later we became good friends.

Well I told myself it better be a quick one because some who called me could drag me into the conversation for hours? It turned out to be some good discovery and I think it would be good to share it with all my readers.

Hello James, I had something to tell u, something new I had observed and discovered with your Cd sound and Love Potion.

Yes Mr. K.K what have you discovered? It better be good one I had just got back from the South and I am very exhausted.

James, remember you send me an external CD sound and asked me to fix the external sound tweeters at the second entrance and at the nesting room 2 weeks ago. With my extra creativity I sprayed the tweeters and the surroundings areas with Love Potion. You know what? Today I went inside my farm there’re so many birds inside and tens of them are hanging on all these tweeters that I had sprayed with Love Potion. I was shocked to see it.

You Cd sound is dam good and plus the Love Potion it turns out to be perfect match. The birds just go crazy. You should try and see it yourself

Oh Mr. K.K you had discovered something new that is very good. Keep it up. Well I shall try this on my farm.

Thank you K.K for sharing the new technique. Not many are like you.

James, don’t mention all these. In fact I am indebted to you. You have taught me so many things that money couldn’t buy. I still remember how I started of with a farm that was built by a well known consultant that cost more than Rm300k ended with less than 10 nests in 2 years. Your guidance and advice had helped me a lot and turned around my farm from less than 10 nests to few hundred today.

K.K, so I am sure your nests have been increasing.

Yes James, It is increasing I can’t even believe it. Thank you. Sifu James.

And the conversation continues and as I look at my watch we have spoken for almost an hour without noticing. So I told him we should continue this discuss over Tea this weekend.

Hope this would help those that wanted to pull more birds into the deeper areas of nesting. As I had mentioned before the more areas the birds cover or fly to or explore the higher the chances they will make nests and stay.

So be creative you will discover fantastic thing. No trial no learning.

使用電来防止掠食性動物和偷竊

(我把板條油上黑色的漆来防止它受到雨水的損傷)

(是非常容易安裝的。 它也許花費几百零吉如果您叫别人安裝)

我在我的燕屋農場使用有一陣子並且发现它是非常有用的。 當我發現貓頭鷹棲息在我的燕屋農場的入口孔时我開始使用它。

我不僅需要一些东西来吓那些掠食性動物，而且要它們記住，以便它們不會在那裡棲息。 從導線的电流能燒伤掠食性動物。

因為我正在做另一個新的燕屋農場，那我就顯示如何要DIY来做它。

您需要一塊板條，那些多余的Meranti板條6x1是好的。 長度是根據入口孔的寬度。

PVC管子被锁緊在板條的双方。 在兩個PVC管子钻孔。 它依靠多少根導線您要安裝在板條上。 我喜歡有6-7根導線差不多隔½寸的。您必须用途鋁或不锈钢導線以免防止腐蝕和雨水生锈。

導線從兩個末端緊緊的被拉扯，並且使用導線聯接鎖紧它們。 3根導線被連接到正面和3根被連接到反面的AC/DC交換器。 如果是7根導線自然是4根反面和3根正面等等。正面和反面必須輪流地安置一正面和一反面。 确定您使用一臺可靠的AC/DC交換器。 我推薦Teletron (您可以在網上搜尋)那裡是有6v， 8v， 12v等等。

我使用了一臺12v的交換器。它是可以足够地燒害更小的掠食性動物。 您可以使用定時器来控制您的交換器。

我使用的时间是從晚上7到半夜2點，這是貓頭鷹狩獵的时间。大家有好燕屋!

Use Electric to Prevent Predators and Theft

( I paint the Plank black to prevent it from damage by the rain water)

( It is very easy to install. It may cost few thousands ringgit if you as someone to install it for you)

I have been using this in my farms for quite a while and find it very useful. I started using it when I discovered owls perching at the entrance hole of my farms.

I need something not only to scares Predators away but also something that could make them remember so that they wouldn’t perch there again. The current from Wire could burn the Predators.

Since I am making another one for my new coming farm it would be good to show those who wanted to DIY how I make it.

You need a piece of wood those extra Meranti Planks of 6x1” would be good. The length would be according to the width of the entrance hole.

PVC pipes are screwed on to both sides of the plank. Drill holes on both PVC pipes. It depends on how many wires you want to put on the planks. I prefer 6-7 wires which ½” apart from each. Make sure you use Aluminum or Stainless steel wire to prevent corrosion and rust from rain water.

Wires from both ends are pulled tight and use the wire joint to lock them. 3 of the wires are connected to the positive and 3 connected to the negative of an AC/DC converter. For 7 wires then 4 Negative and 3 Positive and so on. The Positive wire and Negative wire have to be placed next to each other, alternately one positive and one negative. Make sure you use a reliable AC/DC converter. I recommend Teletron (you may search the web) there are 6v, 8v,12v and so on.

I use a 12v converter. It is good enough to burn, it may kills smaller predators. You could use a timer to control the converter where you could set the time to switch on the converter.

I switch them on from 7pm to 2 am this is the time Owl hunts.

不要責備研討會

(有了这个并不代表您將会成為一位成功的燕屋主。 燕子是不看這些的。)

今天，當我在去Seri Kembangan拿一些电子用品的途中，我接到一个電话。 我未曾与這個人谈过话。 他禮貌地问我他是否可以问我一些問題。

和平常一样，我回復了， 「没问题，您可以问我任何问题」。

我要求他等等，以便我开动我的免握手提电话。 我告訴了他我認為我們之前未动过电話。 他回復了，是的，我是H先生。從东马打来的。

他问我，James您有組織研討會吗？

我回復了，沒有或許在不久的將來我会….或許

H先生又问，您為什麼不現在組織研討會呢？

我回復了，當我承擔目前的任務它已經是累死我了。 我必須看管我自己的燕屋農場位於在全馬，维修讀者的燕屋農場，修建讀者的燕屋農場，為我自己修建燕屋農場增加我的燕屋農場收集，更新我的部落格，别忘了我在介入燕屋農場之前的其它事业等等。

如果我必須做研討會，那么我是有非常多的时间或許我是已经從企业世界退休。

然后我會給100%免费的燕屋農場研討會 ........並且我笑了。

我问他您為什麼问這个問題？

他回復了，我出席了幾乎每一个可利用的研討會包括邻国組織的那些舉行在這裡的，但是，我修造我的獨立燕屋農場失败。 我用了我從這些研討會學會了的知识，我2年的燕屋農場只有5个窝。

James什麼出了錯？

H先生您不應該问我。 您應該问那些您出席了的研討會的师傅，因為我没有組織任何研討會。 您是不是打錯电话… 我笑了…

James，别误会我只是想知道我的錯誤。

我對H先生解釋了，多数人的問題是，一旦他們付了钱他們期待有奇蹟。

一旦他們出席了研討會，他們期望他們不久之後將会是專家。這是非常錯誤的悟性。 或許研討會是基本的事，它只是很小的巴仙来明白燕屋農場的理解和起點。 除了那之外，您必須自己发现它。 明確地要指教一个成為一位成功的燕屋主它需要超过2到3天或者几星期的时间。 它需要几年，簡單来说「一個上了2或3天的學院或大學就可以成为那個領域的一位專家吗？」

如果您想要做一個成功的燕屋農場，經驗，聰明，遵守，逻辑思维，鋒利的思想是非常重要的。
不要責備那些研討會因为是您自己的察覺和期望在研討會可以給您。不要被您學會的东西淹沒。 要成为一位成功的燕屋主是在此之外的。

James我未曾想到这些。一向来，當我認為，只要我用在研討會提供所有的信息，長期裝備我必须准备修建的燕屋農場將是成功的。 我是完全错误了。

我們谈了½小時多。 我希望他明白我的意思。大家有好燕屋!

Don't Blame Seminar

(with this it doesn't mean that you will become a successful Swiftlet Farmer. Swiftlets don't give a shit to all these.)

Someone called me today while I was on the way to Seri Kembangan to collect some Electronic items. I have not spoken to this caller before. He politely asked me whether he could ask me few questions.

As usual I replied, “Sure you could ask me anything you want”.

I asked him to hold on so that I could switch on the hand free on my mobile phone.

I told him I think we have not spoken before. He replied, yes you are right I am Mr .H from East Malaysia.

He asked me, James do you organize seminar?

I replied no not now and perhaps in near future….perhaps….

Mr.H asked why you are not organizing seminar now?.

I replied, with the current task that I am undertaking it is already sort of killing me. I have to attend to my own farms which located all over Malaysia, reviving readers’ farms, building farm for readers, building farms for myself to add to my collecting, updating my blog and without forgetting my other businesses that I had involved prior to Swiftlet farming,etc.

If I had to do seminar then it would be the time that I am dam free perhaps fully retirement from the business world.

Then I would give 100% free Swiftlet farming seminar ........and I laughed.

I asked him why are you asking such question?

He replied I had attended almost all seminars that are available including those organized by neighboring countries which held here but when I built my standalone it fails. I had applied all the things that I had learned from these seminars yet my 2 years old farm only has 5 nests.

Mr. James what has gone wrong?

Mr.H you shouldn’t ask me. You should ask the Sifus that organized seminars that you had attended as I don’t organize any seminars. Did you call the wrong person… I laughed….

James, don’t get me wrong I just want to find out why.

I explained to Mr.H, the problem with most people is, once they paid for something they expect miracle.

Once they attended seminars they expect they will be expert soon afterwards. This is very wrong perception. Seminars are just a course of basic things perhaps a beginning of a small percentage of understanding of what Swiftlet farming is. Other than that you have to find it out yourself. Definitely to guide and to teach one to become a successful farmer it need more than 2 to 3 days or a week time. It takes years, a simple one would be “could one attend College or University for a course of 2 or 3 days then afterwards one could become a professional in that field?”

Experiences, intelligent, observance, logical thinking, sharpness are very important if you want to make a successful farm.

Don’t blame those seminars it is you yourself who had perceived and expected beyond what the seminars could give you.

Don’t be overwhelmed with what you had learned. To be a successful Swiftlet farmer it is beyond this.

James I never thought of this .All this while I thought that as long I am equipped with all the information given in the seminars I would be ready to undertake to build a farm that will be successful . I was totally wrong.

We spoke for more than ½ an hour. I hope he gets what I mean.

Good Farming All!

使用正確的板條。 青苔和真菌將会是歷史

(所有被QC檢查过了，沒有瑕疵和斑點。 準備被送到燕屋農場。 看看它的顏色。它不可能欺骗我們的眼睛。 您不需要有木研究的Phd来知道这些)

(好品资的板條是高價格的，但是它是值得的。 當您相比需要從燕屋農場除掉的板條費用(有青苔)和用新的替换他們。 那么那些已經停留的燕子会怎么样呢？ 他們很可能会飛到您邻居的燕屋農場。)

上周我在我的木板供應商鋸木廠檢查我定购的板條，在他們送出之前。

我是在一個月前定购了他們，但是因為需求高，並且鋸木廠无法供应需求。 好的板條是很難找到的，低級的板條在市場上是很多，但是在6個月之后它將会生長青苔和真菌。 实际上，一旦您支付了，您可以第二天得到他們。

當檢查板條时我遇見了也是在那裡尋找板條的顧問(一個知名的傢伙，名字不可以在这提及)。 我們談論了在板條上的青苔和真菌，並且他們怎麼出现。 他同意我80%的燕屋農場不是使用適當的板條和不適當的建筑材料為整修。 所以這些整個問題出现。

有3個主要的原因是
1) 燕屋主想要便宜的，因為只要燕屋農場被建造燕子將停留。 燕子沒有選择燕屋農場是如何設計，板條類型，形成等等。
2)由於以上的原因，便宜的交易和顧問想要抓緊这个交易，他必須接受工作和增加他的贏利，使他用低級的板條和低质量的材料。
3) 雇佣半桶水的顧問，但是收费是優質價格的。

正當他們寻找解決方式来处理在板條的青苔和真菌的問題时，許多對這些是过去的歷史。

除了預防之外，它不可能被消滅。 許多想尽各種各樣的办法來消滅他們，但是之后还是看他們再增長。

有一些甚而使用一些某类的科學方式通过应用某些化學製品来消滅他們。 這是好為在某一材料的青苔和真菌，但不是為板條。 通過該執行方式，我称它为錯誤的診斷。 除了板條之外，除非這些板條的目的是其他用途。

除此之外，化學製品可能是燕子不喜欢的。 换句话说，青苔和真菌再也不长在板條上，但是燕子也許不再增長，同時不在那裡做窝。 因此它将是无青苔和真菌的板條，也是无燕子做窝的燕屋農場。那不是很偉大吗？ 只用一石殺掉所有的燕子。 精采!

一些燕屋主想尽各種各樣的办法，但是實際上導致害處的想法。 所以每天失敗率还是高升。

我的忠告! 使用正確的板條，並且青苔將会是歷史。 因此，為什麼需要非常麻烦的清洗和替換每個板條呢？大家不知道預防是更好，並且花費較少比治療他們吗？

实际上我所有的燕屋農場是沒有青苔的，並且，我不明白為什麼还有許多还是仍然为青苔的問題想蹦了頭。青苔的問題已經是歷史了。

一个怎麼可能有成功的燕屋農場，當他一直擔心他燕屋農場青苔的問題。

肯定一件事，燕子是不會在有青苔問題的板條上做窝的。

因此保證您採取预防措施。

水泥板板條

如果您認為青苔，真菌和白蟻是您板條的問題，那您可以想想使用水泥板。

對于我，我會坚持使用100%純淨深红的Meranti板條。 對于那些不能得到深红的Meranti板條，就算他們付更高的價格的那些人，可以選擇水泥板。

安装水泥板的工作是不容易的，但是一件肯定的事是它可以解決所有那些青苔問題，並且天花板和板條之间是歷史。

照片顯示一個完美的水泥板板條。

那些想要安裝水泥板的人看了這張照片將对它有一些想法。

Use Right Wood. Mould & Fungus will be History

(All QC inspected , no defect and spot. Ready to be delivered to farm. Look at the color.It can't cheat our eyes. You don't need to have a Phd in wood study to know this)

( High end good wood for planks comes with a price but it 's worths it. When it compares with the cost of removing the planks from farm (fungus infested) and to replace them with new ones. What about birds that already stayed in the farm? They may all fly to your neiugbour's farms.)

Last week I was at my wood supplier Sawmill to check the planks that I had ordered before they deliver them.

I had ordered them about a month ago only available now as the demand was high and the Sawmill is unable to meet the demand. Good wood is hard to find low graded one is plentiful in the market that will grow mould and fungus within 6 months of operation. In fact you could get them the next day once you had paid.

While checking the wood I happened to meet a consultant (a big time fellow, name can not mention here) who was there to look for planks too. We talked about mould and fungus on planks and how they come about. He agrees with me that 80% of farms are not using appropriate woods for nesting planks and not appropriate materials for renovation. Therefore these entire problems arise.

There are 3 main reasons for this is 1) The owner wants it cheap believing that as long the farm is built birds would stay. Birds have no preferences to how the farm is being design, the wood type, the formation, etc. 2) Because of the above cheap package and the consultant wants to clinch the deal he has to accept the works and to increase his profit he uses low graded and low quality material. 3) Engaged consultants that are half bucket of water but charging premium price.

While many still finding solutions to solve the mould and fungus probles on their planks on the other hand to some these problems are history.

It could not be eliminated other than prevention. Many came out with all sorts of ideas to eliminate them but later to see them grow back again.

Some even followed some sort of scientific way to eliminate them by applying certain chemical. Well this is good for mould and fungus on certain material but not for wood. By doing this way, I call it wrong diagnose. Unless these planks are use for other purposes other than for nesting Planks.

Furthermore the chemical applied maybe disliked by the birds. In other words fungus and mould may no longer grow on the planks at the same time the birds also don’t make nests there too. So it would be mould and fungus free planks and also birds and nests free farm too. Isn’t that great? Kill all birds with only one stone. Brilliant!

Sometimes farmers are trying to outsmart others by coming out with all sorts of idea that actually cause harm. That is why the fail rate is climbing higher each day.

My advice! Use the right wood for nesting plank then fungus and mould will be history. So why need so much hassle by cleaning and replacing every plank? Isn’t everybody knows prevention is better and cost lesser than to cure them?

In fact all my farms have no mould and fungus problems and I don’t know why there are so many out there still cracking their heads to solve this problem. The fungus problem is already history.

How one can have a successful farm when all the time he is worrying about the planks in his farm that are infested with fungus.

For sure one thing birds will never make nests on planks that are infested with mould and fungus.

So make sure you take the prevention measure.

Cement Board Nesting Planks.

If you think mould, fungus and termite are the problems to the nesting planks then you may want to consider the cement board as nesting planks.

For me I would stick to my 100% pure Dark Re Meranti. For those who can’t get the Dar red Meranti even they pay premium price then cement board would be the next option.

The installation works for the cement board is not easy but for sure one thing it could solve all those mould problems and gap between ceiling and planks is history.

The picture shows a beautifully done nesting plank with cement board.

Having this picture shown those who want to install them would have some idea.

用假窝與Love Potion来捕獲幼燕子

其中一個戰略来吸引幼燕子到您的燕屋農場做窝是使用浸了或喷射了Love Potion的假窝。

争採这个季節的好處，許多幼燕子離開太熱的燕屋農場，一個可以奪取他們的是使用假窝(确定您的燕屋農場是有好的屋内环境)。 它可以是任何一種假窝，比如是橡膠、硅、聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料、塑料等等，必须喷了Love Potion和被安置在正确的區域。 開始交配的幼燕子是愛他們的和垂懸在假窝，然后制造窝的过程將会開始。

嗅觉是一個很重要的角色，成熟的幼燕子準備交配將尋找有宜人芳香的巢。 這是安全感的天性。 有芳香的假窝將更加快速的使他們逗留並且造窝。

有Love Potion的假窝將減少適應的时期，假巢將很快速地因而佔領做窝。

您也可以噴洒那些被安裝在板條上的假窝。 轉動浪花泵浦噴管對薄霧類型。 按2-4次。 為那些未安裝新的假窝。 浸洗他們在Love Potion隔夜並且次日安裝。

有Love Potion的假窝應該安裝在6寸到1尺從角落。 不要安裝假窝在板條中部或超过1尺從角落。

假窝的平均数量在于燕屋農場的大小。 它取决于燕屋農場的設計和大小。 為20x70ft的燕屋農場(一层)它應該有20-30个假窝，但是这个計算为与燕屋農場的設計。

您还等待什麼？ 您應該利用這机會奪取許多的幼燕子尽可能。 不要忘記優勝者採取它全部!

利用天氣

(照片是大约下午3點拍的)

热的天气也不是那么壞的。 它可以讲出許多關於我們燕屋農場。 這个时候您可以知道您建造的燕屋農場是否可以承受这个热的天氣。 如果您參觀您的燕屋農場在这个熱的季節里，您將可以看到您的燕屋農場是否是適當地做了。

我刚從我修建13個月前的我的燕屋農場。 我的之前的參觀是在2010年2月上旬。 它是我定期维护的參觀，而且应用了Love Potion，並且保證聲音和定時器是在运作的。

有大量的燕子在裡面。 有很多甚而一些擊中了我。 從我的評斷他們全部是幼鸟。 有很多是一对对的垂懸在他們做到一半的窝。 它约為是下午3點。 室外温度是大约在37c。 那些停留在裡面的燕子是避免室外的熱汽和做窝的。 实际上，這是另一個繁殖週期的起點。 如果您此时看見許多燕子在您的燕屋農場它顯示好的预示。 我对这个燕屋农厂的表現很高兴因为它是在一個非頭等燕子區域的。

有89个窝，半杯子和之上的除了窝標號之外。 通过看到燕子的数量在燕屋農場里甚而在這樣熱和乾燥的天氣，我预算雨季來的时候大概在5月尾窝的数量将会雙倍的。

如果您的燕屋農場沒有適當地做與在這樣極端的天氣下，您的燕子將会尋找有更好屋内环境的燕屋農場。 您忠誠的燕子和幼鸟是不会離開您的燕屋農場的，如果他們是離開您的燕屋農場，您燕屋农厂的屋内环境是有問題的。

某些標誌是：

1) 沒有燕子屎的增加

2) 燕子屎烘乾

3) 燕子在燕屋農場減少

4) 沒有新窝的標號

5) 沒有燕子玩

6) ….

7) ….

在燕屋農場是熟练的那些人會尽可能利用這个机會(热天气)来奪取許多的幼燕子，並且，當旱季結束时，幼燕子将会永久地停留。

當您的燕屋農場是太熱的时，死亡率也是高的。 燕子天生是足够聰明的它会尋找有更好屋内环境的燕屋農場，以便他們的下一代將生存。 太熱和太寒冷也是对燕子蛋不好的。 極端得天氣胚胎也会死的。

如果您燕屋农厂的屋内环境是好的，現在是时候提高您燕屋農場的氣味或芳香吸引幼燕子。 现在聲音是次要的，因为沒有下雨。

濕氣扮演一個重要的角色，但是确定它是冷的濕氣而不是熱的濕氣。 如果您的燕屋农厂的溫度是太高與高湿度它將推高溫度的。 濕氣(薄霧)成為了像蒸汽引擎的熱的薄霧。

不要由一些没有知識在燕屋农厂的那些人引入歧途。 不一定当溫度是高的时候您應該增加您的濕氣。 他们之间是有交互作用，但是只到一些程度而以。

做您的定期的维护(芳香)並且觀察變動您将不會出錯。

Capture Young Birds With Fake Nests & Love Potion

One of the strategies to attract young birds to make nests in your farm is to have fake nests that has been dipped or sprayed with Love Potion.

Taking of the advantage of the season and with many young birds that leave farms that are too hot, one could capture them with fake nests (make sure your farm has a good micro). It could be any type of fake nests be it Rubber, Silicon, Styrofoam, Plastic, etc as long there are sprayed with Love Potion and being placed at the right area. Young birds that just started to mate love them and would hang on them subsequently the nests making process would start.

Smell plays an important role young birds that are matured and ready to mate would seek nests that have pleasant aroma. This is an instinct of security. Having fake nest that has the aroma would make them stay and make nests faster.

With Love Potion on the fake nests it would reduce the time of adaptation thus the fake nests would be occupied faster especially by those birds that looking for places to make nests.

For those fake nests that have been installed on the planks you could spray on them. Turn the spray pump nozzle to mist type. Press 2-4 burst. For new fake nests that are yet to be installed. Dip them over night with Love Potion and install the next day.

The fake nests that have Love Potion should be installed 6 Inc to 1 ft from the corner. Never install the fake nests on the middle of the plank or more than 1ft from the corner.

The average number of fake nests in farm varies. It depends on the size and the design of the farm. For a 20x70ft farm (one floor) it should have 20-30 pcs then again this number is subjected to the design of the farm.

So what are you waiting for? You should take this opportunity to capture as many young birds as possible.

Don’t forget winner take it all!

Good farming all!
