您自己搞出来的垃圾!

太小的一個屋頂開放式。

太小的互连孔，燕子很艱飞行

到處都有排气扇，表示燕屋農場的屋内环境是完蛋的。

另外一個排气扇…問題…实在的问题

所有的窗口只是用天花板蓋的，難怪是很熱。 它應該使用磚。

如果他们有讀我的部落格並且有知識在設計他肯定不会做這种入口，因为它迫使風进入裡面。

太大的入口洞。

這個燕屋農場是屬於我一个從沙撈越的讀者K先生的，而却它是由一個那裡知名的人使修造的。 他现在很頭疼並且想知道為什麼燕子不在他的燕屋農場停留。 他就是猜测不到並且想要我的忠告。

我告訴他所有的解答都是在您面前。 问题是如何發現它們。 我告訴他，所有的問題在燕屋農場都是人造的。 换句话说，它是由缺乏技巧在燕屋農場的那些人創造的。 明显地，在燕屋農場建造之前(商店)它是空的。 如果一個没有经验的人他將创造所有的問題在燕屋農場里。 因此，最好的方法是避免创造問題在燕屋農場，以便以后您不須要解決它。 它很簡單。 「沒有弄骯髒它，您就不必要清扫它」

就站在燕屋農場慢慢的觀察並且仔细的看清楚，您就可能發現問題(除非您也是好像我一样的明瑞)。 一旦您知道問題是如何出现的然後您就可以解決它們。 但是，我总是相信预防措施。 為什麼首先您要把它弄亂呢？ 那不是很愚笨吗？
或許修造它的那些人根本不知道他們在燕屋農場制造了問題。

我设法教导K先生。 最佳的教导方式是要他們思考。 所以我问了他問題，以便他下次能記住。

K先生，為什麼您的燕屋農場需要那么多的排气扇？

James，顧問說它是減少熱气和溫度

K先生，當一個人修建燕屋農場时，他不就已经想到这一点，他应该安装双层磚，汽泡纸等等。 然后熱的問題就不會出现，並且就不需要排气扇了？

James，对啊，但是為什麼他没有像到呢。

當您看以上的照片时就可以看到有許多的差錯。还有許多差錯在這個燕屋農場里可以找到的而我是寫不完的。 如果我要一一的暴露它們，不如我它整個燕屋農場拆毀然後从新建立一个新的。

明显地我不可能要求K先生那么做。 他已經花费了相當多的金錢来得到这个废的燕屋農場。 我唯一可能做到的事是儘量搶救但是通过不花费更多的費用。

有时我根本不喜欢清扫其他人的垃圾。 如果您不想以后清扫垃圾，請所有的讀者雇用适合的人做您的燕屋農場!

大家有好的燕屋農場!

You Create Your Own Mess!

too small of a open roof.

inter hole too small hard for birds to maneuver

everywhere is with exhaust fan shows that the farm micro is totally out.

another exhaust fan ...problem...real problem

all windows are only covered with celling board no wonder hot. It should have used bricks.

if one reads my blog and has knowledge in design he definitely won't do this kind of entrance which force the wind inside.

too big entrance.

This farm belongs to my reader Mr.K from Sarawak and was built by a famous person there. He was having a headache and wants to know why birds don’t stay in his farm. He couldn’t figure it out and wants my advice.

I told him all the solutions are right in front of you. It is a matter of how to discover them. I told him that all problems in farm are manmade. In other words it was created by those who are lack in skill in Swiftlet farming. Obviously before a farm is built (shop lot) it is empty. If one is not skillful they would put all the problems in it. So the best is to avoid putting problem in the farm so that in future you won’t have to solve it. It is as simple as that. “Don’t dirty it and you don’t have to clean it up”

By standing in the farm and observe and look at it, one could discover the problems (provided you are as Sharpe as me). Once you know how the problem arises then you could solve them. But I always believe in preventive measure. Why want to mess it up in the first place? Isn’t that stupid?

Well perhaps those who built it might not even know that they have created problems in the farm.

I try to teach Mr.K. The best way to teach other is by making them think. Therefore I ask him questions so that he could remember it the next time.

“Mr.K, why do you need so many exhaust fans in your new farm? “

“James, the consultant says it is to reduce the heat and temperature”

“Mr.K isn’t it when one builds a farm he had already anticipated this problem by putting double layers bricks, Bubble foil and so on. Then the heat problem wouldn’t arise and there is no need for exhaust fans?”

“James, you are right but how come he never thought of that. “

When you look at the above pictures there are so many mistakes. There are many more mistakes found in this farm that I can’t finish writing. If I have to expose them all then it better to demolish the whole farm and build new one.

Obviously I can’t ask Mr.K to do that. He had already spent quite a lot of money to own this sick farm. The only thing I could do is to salvage as much as possible by not incurring too much cost.

Sometimes I hate cleaning up other people mess. Please all readers get the right person to do your farm if you don’t want to clean up the mess later!

Good Swiftlet Farming All!

古怪的燕屋主

我差一点胃抽痉因为笑太多。幾乎每隔一天我都笑到胃抽痉。 接到許多從我讀者的電子郵件和电话。我很愛他們，因為他們令我笑。笑是最佳的醫药。一個特殊的讀者甚而问我如何可以生產紅燕窝，但他却擁有一個失败的燕屋農場。

我告訴他，在我告诉您關於紅燕窝之前，您首先必须搞好您的燕屋農場，要不然您会更加迷茫，根本不可以瞭解我在談論什麼。

另一個的讀者雇用了一位(半桶水顧問)，而要我與他的顧問談話和勸告他怎样做。 换句话说我指导整部戏，他的顧問就得到酬劳，而我什么都沒得到。

另一個正在左右為难，因為他所謂的很知名的顧問想為內部使用磁性高音揚聲器，但是他在網络上讀到燕屋農場多数使用的高音揚聲器是非磁性的(piezo)。 他是很迷茫的並且问我的忠告。

我的回復是，如果您的顧問甚而不可能區別在壓力和磁性高音揚聲器之間。 我想知道他为您設計的一個燕屋農場会有多好。 所以您的燕屋農場已经是往失敗的道路在您開聲音之前。

我想当先最重要的不是勸告和教导讀者应该用什麼在燕屋農場，还有他們應該做什么和不應該做什么在燕屋農場。 最好的是教导他們「如何選擇最好的顧問」。 這應該是第一步。 如果第一步是失败的然後沒有需要进入第二步。

因為我時常參觀許多失败的在燕屋農場我不可能相信我看見什麼。 我问我自己他们怎样可能修建象這样的在燕屋農場。 我的孟加拉和印尼工人可以設計更好的燕屋農場。

没办法啦，現在的趨向是他們懂得更少就越多人雇用他們。 我認為涉及在燕屋農場的那些人想要那些顧問知道很少的。 大概，因為他們害怕顧問比他們聰明。

因此您知道越少您就越受歡迎的。 那么，像我们这样的人就很少人雇用，難怪我們有时间写部落格和給其他忠告….哈… 哈....哈…

有很多修建其他燕屋農場的人甚而不知道Apus-Apus和A. Fuciphagus之間的不同。 對他們来说所有在天空飛行的都是同樣的。那些自己DIY他們的燕屋農場的那些人也是一样。 有一次一位讀者告诉我他如何在他的燕屋農場的板條上按装了橫跨的PVC管子，以便燕子可以棲息。

作为一位部落客我是时常接到許多古怪的電子郵件和电话，但是我總是會设法解釋给他們。 我希望他們將赏识我們到目前為止所做的一切。

在燕屋農場部落格存在之前，要看到燕屋農場的內部是很堅难的。 因为沒人將顯示他們的燕屋農場给任何人。 今天，燕屋農場的圖片不僅是可以在部落格看的到，而且还有忠告和技術关于如何怎样来修建一个好的燕屋農場。

想要介入燕屋農場的那些人是比我們幸運的多，现在所有的信息他們可以在網落上找得到。

莫名其妙地這些新一代的燕屋主仍然是缺乏基本的要如何修建好的燕屋農場的知识。 我想這些是与個人能力有关的，例如遵守，鋒利，聰明，等等，不要忘記選擇顧問也是很重要。

Weird Swiftlet Farmers

I had stomach cram because of laughing too much. Laughing my guts out almost every other day. Receiving emails and calls from many of my readers. I love them because they make me laugh. Laughing is the best medicine for all things. One particular reader even asked me how to produce Red nests as he owned a failed farm.

I told him get your farm right first before I tell you more about Red nests otherwise you would be lost and may not understand what I am talking about.

Another reader engaged a wrong (half bucket water consultant) consultant and wanted me to talk to his consultant and advise him what to do. In other words I am directing the whole show and his consultant is getting paid while I get none.

Another one is in dilemma because his so called very well known consultant wanted to use magnetic tweeters for internal use and he reads on the Web that most tweeters for Swiftlet farms are of non magnetic (piezo). He was confused and asked my advice.

My replied was” If the consultant can’t even distinguish between Piezo and Magnetic tweeter. I wonder how well he could design a good farm for you. Therefore your farm is on the road to failure even before you start the sound.”

I think for the moment instead of advising and teaching readers what kind of things are needed in farm, and what they should do and what they shouldn’t do in farms. It is better to teach them “How to choose a consultant.” This should be the first step. If one fails the first step then no point of going to the second step.

As I had visited many failed farms sometimes I couldn’t believe what I saw. I told myself how could they build farms like this. Even my Bangla and Indon workers could design better farms.

What to do, the trend now is the more they know nothing the more people like to engage them. I think those who got involved in Swiftlet farming wanted those consultants that know very little. Probably because they afraid the consultants are smarter than them.

So the least you know the more you are in demand. Well, in this case people like me would be least wanted, no wonder we have time writing blog and giving advice to others….ha…ha..ha...

There are many who build Swiftlet farms for others don’t even know the different between Apus-Apus and A. Fuciphagus. To them all that fly in the sky are the same. This also goes to those who DIY their own farms. There was once a reader called me and asks should he put a small PVC pipe across all the planks in his farm so that the Swiftlets could perch on them.

Being a blogger I received many weird emails and calls but somehow I would always try to explain to them. I hope they would appreciate what we have done so far.

Before Swiftlet farming blogs existed to see the internal of a farm would be hard. No one would show their farms to anyone. Today not only pictures of farms are available in the blogs but also advice and techniques on how to build good farm.

Now those who wanted to get involve in Swiftlet farming are very much luckier than us with all information just at their finger tips on the Web.

Somehow these new generations of Swiftlet farmers are still lack the basic knowledge that needed to build good farm. I guess this has to do with personal ability such as observance, sharpness, intelligent, and so on without forgetting choosing a consultant.

Good Swiftlet Farming All!

建造燕屋農場在一块好的土地

我被我的讀者一位医生Dr. D邀請到北部觀看地皮。Dr. D的职业是一位医生，他发现燕屋農場比打高爾夫球更有趣。 他談論了燕屋農場有一陣子了，但是最近他突然采取猛烈的行动在他的地皮建造燕屋農場。

我在一清早就从KL出发来避免交通的阻塞，而且打算在中午之前到達那裡。 我從他那里知道它是一块有種植榴莲和一些本地水果树的土地。

他沒有什么时间来參觀他的果園和經常由当地附近的村民来採取他們想要的东西。 他并不非常关心從果园得到的的金錢特别是榴莲。 他几年前買了這個果園的时候他是对榴莲的熱衷，並且，在这么多年之后他对榴莲已经是乏味了，和現在想修建燕屋農場。

从那以后他就很少參觀他的果園。他告訴了我如何开始对燕屋農場感兴趣，一個晚上，當他與朋友在吃肉骨茶时， 在那家餐館的對面有燕屋農場。

當他们在吃着肉骨茶时，他們还抱怨從对面大廈传出来的唧啾叫聲並且问了侍者那是什麼聲音。 侍者回復的「鸟」。他其中一個朋友回復了我有听说过，但是從未真正地注意它。 当时天也开始变黑了，大廈的屋頂有以千上万的燕子飞入这个燕屋農場，就這样激發了他們对燕屋農場的兴趣，Dr.D说。

這一块土地位于美好的地点平靜的圍攏着所有燕屋農場屋外的需求。 任何是在燕屋農場的人會想要这样的土地。事实上我还開玩笑地问他是否願意賣一或二英畝的地给我？

離這个土地不遠的地方大约5 km或更少，那裡有4個非常成功的燕屋農場。 实际上我还认识那裡其中一個燕屋主。 他的每个月的收穫比有差不多15kgs。

Dr.D買這个土地不是因为燕屋農場，但是却是為了榴莲和他是非常幸運的。

我到達了主要路往橡胶园，並且Dr.D已經在路邊等待着。 土地從主路差不多有500米。 有一条路直导致他的土地，我只可能說它是「美丽」的。

圍攏着這裡是橡膠园和油棕園。 我很愛橡胶园，因為他們繁殖大量的白蟻(當下雨的时候，就是飛蟻)，並且燕子是很愛它們的。

當在那裡时，我上載了在我的GPS，以便我能跟蹤這块土地和它的周边地区和地形。 或許我也許应该買一块土地在这周围来修造一个獨立的燕屋農場，谁知道？

我勸告了Dr.D那一个是最佳架設大廈的地方。 他需要清除那些所有的樹和他需要做的什麼。 Dr.D是完全的新手在燕屋農場，並且他有許多需要学的事。

他要我给他包括燕屋農場的設計、伴音系统等等的計劃。 他告诉我「James，我知道關於燕屋農場很少希望您可能帮助我和做任何必要的东西。 我把整個土地交給您」

我回復了，感謝了Dr.D，但是我們必須一起分工合作，因為我想要确定您學會什麼是燕屋農場。

Dr.D回復了，我与許多人谈了，但是他们就是不願意教我。您是非常好的，James。 我開玩笑地回復了，很好，我是願意教导你我所知道的一切，但是您可能吸收所有吗？

在那裡度过几小時的时间之後，我已经被上百只蚊子围绕着，你们可以想像被蚊子叮咬的程度。 但是望好的一方面来看「这不就是大量昆蟲的徵兆吗？」 我就是昆蟲的食物。

Building Swiftlet farm on a Good Land

I was invited to the North by my reader Dr. D to view a plot of land. Dr. D who is a Medical Doctor by profession finds that Swiftlet farming is more interesting than Golfing. He has been talking about this for quite a while and recently took a drastic action to have a Swiftlet farm built on his land.

I left K.L in the early morning to avoid traffic and planning to reach there before noon. As I understood from him it was a Durian farm with some local fruits trees planted around.

He hasn’t had the time to visit his orchard and often leave it to the Kampong people around there to take whatever they want. He was not so much into the money from the fruits especially the Durian. He had bought this orchard many years ago for the craving of Durian and after many years of having Durian he got bore with it and now wanted to build a Swiftlet farm.

Ever since then he seldom visit his orchard. He told me got interested in Swiftlet farming from one evening while having Bak Kut Teh with his friends. At the opposite of this restaurant there was a Swiftlet farm.

While having Bak Kut Teh, they were complaining about the chirping sound from the opposite building and asked the waiter what sound is that. The waiter replied “Burung”. One of his friends replied I heard about this but never really pay much attention. As the sky was getting darker there were thousands of birds swamping into the roof of the building this excited them, claimed Dr.D.

This piece of Land located in a beautiful serenity surrounded with all the Macros needed for a Swiftlet farm. Anyone who is into swiftlet farming would have wanted this type of land. If fact I did jokingly ask him is he willing to sell an acre or two to me?

Not far from this vicinity about 5 km or less there were 4 very successful Swiftlet farms. In fact I knew one of the farm’s owners there. His monthly harvest is more than 15kgs.

Dr.S had bought this land not for the intention of Swiftlet farming but for Durian and he is very lucky.

I reached the main road toward the rubber plantation and Dr.D is already waiting at the side of the road. The land is just 500 meter from the main road. There is tar road leading all the way to his land all I could said is “beautiful”.

The Surrounding here is of Rubber and Palm oil plantations. I love rubber plantation because they produce plenty of termite (flying ants when its rain) and Swiftlet love them.

While there I load the positioning onto my GPS so that I could track this land and its surrounding area and terrain. Perhaps I might buy a land around here to build a standalone whose know?

I advise Dr.D where the best place to erect the building. He needs to clear all those trees and what he needs to do. Dr.D is very new in Swiftlet farming and there are lots of things he needs to Know.

He wanted me to come out with a plan that consists of farm design, sound system, etc. He told me “James I know very little about Swiftlet farming I hope you could help me out and do whatever necessary. I leave the entire land to you”

I replied, thanks Dr.D but we have to work together because I want to make sure you learn what Swiftlet farming is about is.

Replied Dr.D, I have spoken to many people but most won’t willing to teach. It is very kind of you James. I jokingly replied, Well I’m willing to teach all the things I knew but could you absorb all of them?

After spending few hours there with hundred of mosquito swamping around you, one could imagine the mosquito bites. Look at the bright side “isn’t this indication of plenty of insect?” I am the food for the insect.

Good Swiftlet farming ALL

很好笑的故事，感谢一位“我全都知到的燕屋主”

它不再是一旦的事，而是一而再，再而三的接到從讀者的电话关于一些古怪的問題了。 实际上，它不再是古怪的問題，而是傻的問題。 從他們的問題，我可以知道他们对燕屋農場的知道是有那么的多或那么的少。

有那么多這樣的人进入燕屋農場行业，这个行业怎麼可能改善它的成功率呢？ 我想是非常困难的，並且对这个行业是一件可哀的事。

其中一個經典的問題由是以下問的：

James先生，我想要修改我的燕屋農場。 燕子不在那里造窝。 您可以幫我吗？

我回復了，请问您是谁？ 噢，我是從Kelantan的T先生

James： 请问是誰修建您的燕屋農場？

T先生 ： 噢… 是我自己修造的..... (非常驕傲地說)，但是我不知道为什么当我打開了聲音就是没有一隻燕子进入我的燕屋農場。

James：没有一隻燕子进入….那是不可能的。 通常我們在打開了聲音之后，合理的燕子就在几分钟的时间將进入。

T先生：它就是沒有窝。 為什麼？ 我真的等不及想要看到窝!

James： 有許多事您是需要做的，在燕子还没開始做窝之前。 或許您没有正當地做了，或者您也許俯視了一些事情。

T先生： 不，不，不. James先生…我知道我做着什麼。 所有的事情都是正確的。 我是非常地肯定的。 对我来说这个燕屋農場是非常好的。 是我自己設計的，我知道它的好和壞。

James： 如果一切是好的，那么它應該有燕窝在裡面。 您開始了这个燕屋農場有多久？

T先生： 噢.....有2個星期了。

我幾乎想吐血跟這样的人談話。

James： 僅有2個星期的时间？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 並且2個星期您就想看到一個满杯子的窝？

T先生 ： 當然是咯。 如果不是2個星期，那要等多久呢？ 我还打算可以收穫至少有3-5公斤的窝在6個月之后呢。

James： 修造窝，燕子要花费40-45天(还要看季節呢)，除了这个还需要一些時间来適應，这也需要几個月的时间，在它們进入燕屋農場来住之前。 在開了聲音2個星期之後，您就想要看到窝？ 您真的是非常熟念和博學的….並且深受尊重的一位 ？

T先生： 我知道的相當多，在我們的一对人之中我是最純熟的。 我的朋友总是說我知道關於燕屋農場的事是最多的，所以我自己設計了並且修建了燕屋農場。 他們鼓勵我DIY。 但是现在我很頭疼，因為就是没有一隻燕子进入我的燕屋農場。

我笑到幾乎滚地。

James： 難怪燕子不进入您的燕屋農場......就是因为您太純熟了。

T先生 ： 是真的吗？ 太純熟燕子也不进入燕屋農場做窝？ 如果不是等2個星期，那么要等多久才能看到窝呢？

我们继续交談，並且我也继续地笑..... 哈...哈.哈….我有最佳的笑话。

想像有这样浮浅的人，而且他認為他知道一切並且承擔了燕屋農場的建築，那么結果是什么？..... 失败100%保證的失敗!

不知道燕子的行為，但是然而大膽的設計燕屋農場。 所以失败的燕屋農場是往上去的。

通常獨自修建燕屋農場的人多數總是認為他們知道的很多。 不能怪他們，這是人性。

有許多人好像T先生一样，我想70%的燕屋主就是這樣的。 希望你们全部不要好像T先生一样。

大家有好的燕屋農場!
