The Standalone Craze

(Adaptation from Indonesia Style. The Entrance Hole barely 1x1ft. The owner must have forgotten that he is building a farm in Malaysia)


( Look more like "Lego".Having built so many farms in 1 area so they have to paint their farms in different colors so that birds would not enter the wrong farm.)

( Cost about 2m to build 2 years ago. Somewhat not promising)


(Another set of Lego is coming up. The more the merrier. As least you can chit-chat with your neighbour. )


(Standard design for all )


( more blocks are coming up to joint the crowd. It is not so much about how many nests in your farm. It is a trend of, if you have a standalone so do I. "everybody wants to own a standalone failure or success doesn't matter")




These are the pictures taken during my trip to the East Coast. I good friend of mine showed me how people in the East coast doing Standalone farm in big scale.

In fact it‘s not new. Some of these farms have being there for more than 2 years and the results somewhat not promising.

Some of these building are 5 storey and taking space of 100 ft long or more. The owner must have planned for next 20-40 years. I wonder has he got the chance to see what in the future.

Some coming in massively with huge investment but sad to say so money can’t help when it comes to swiftlet farming. Because Swiftlets don’t recognize money all they wanted is a good conducive environment that they could stay and build nests.

Some of these farms are owned by some well known figure in Malaysia.

So ?......So what !

Swiftlet don’t care.

Enjoy the pictures.

Good farming all!
