興奮的Love Potion 用戶

那是一個星期日的早晨。 也是我的休息日。 我的電話在八點早上響起了。 我還以爲我可以睡到九點半。在我去睡之前，我忘了把我的電話關掉。 它響再響，我沒辦法只好起來回答它。

「早晨好，很抱歉這麽早就打電話給您。 真得很抱歉。 我希望我沒有干擾您」。

這就是從Sarikei沙撈越的W先生。 实际上，他真正的干擾了我。 可是我沒有告訴他和我假裝是沒關係的。 我很想睡到九點半因爲它是我唯一的星期日早晨，但是卻被他的電話吵醒。

「是的，W先生有什麼事情嗎，您那麽早就打電話給我？」

「James, 我是很高興的。 記得我在去年的12月和您買了內部催眠聲音，還有Love Potion，昨天我去檢查我的燕屋農場。 有很多窩了。 我是很驚訝的。 我已經有2個多月沒有參觀我的燕屋農場了。 您的內部聲音和Love Potion是非常好的」。

「這就是您打電話來的原因？」

「是的，James，我是非常激動的並且想馬上告诉您。 請您在星期一送xx瓶的Love Potion給我，昨天我已經在銀行转交錢進您的帳戶。 我想要感謝您發明了Love Potion。 谢谢。谢谢。 谢谢」。

「W先生您總可以下午才打電話給我嘛。 不必須那麽早就打電話給我」。

「James先生，我是實在太高興和激動了，並且已經不能再忍了。 我昨天有打電話給您很多次，但是沒有接通。 我還以爲我可以等您打回來。 但是您沒有打囘給我」。

「啊，是的，我收到了許多錯過的電話。 我是在線上。 通常我會第二天打囘給對方」。

這就是W先生在星期日的八點半早晨想與我分享的東西。 另外一方面我是很高興的。

W先生的燕屋農場已經開始了一年多了，在這之前，那裡只是有30多的窩。 他使用了各種各樣的芳香以及許多类型的聲音從市場上買到的，但是就沒有燕子群和燕窩的明显地增加，直到他嘗試了Love Potion和內部催眠聲音。

但是现在2個多月的時間，燕窩的数量加倍了。 這就是為什麼他那麽的興奮，並且他想與我分享，就好像許多Love Potion的用戶一樣。

我想這樣的興奮金錢是不可能買到的。那些在燕屋農場行業的人很瞭解我在講什麽。 因此，最好是和大家分享，總是沒错的。

大家有好的燕屋農場! 最好的東西是和大家分享的。

EXcited User of Love Potion

It was an early Sunday morning. It is my day off. My phone rang at 8.00 am. I thought I could sleep till 9.30am. I‘ve forgotten to switch of my phone the night before I went to sleep. It rang and rang so I have to get up and answer it.

“Good morning Sir, Sorry to call you this early. So sorry again. I hope I didn’t disturb you.”

This what Mr. W from Sarikei Sarawak said. In fact he did disturb me. Of coz I didn’t tell him and I pretended it is fine. I wanted to sleep until 9.30 am and it was a Sunday morning and his calls waked me up.

“Yes Mr. W what is it you call me this early, anything?”

“James I am so happy. Remember I bought the Hypnotic Internal sound and Love Potion from you in last Dec. Yesterday I went to check my farm. There are so many nests. I was shocked. I didn’t visit my farm for almost 2 months plus. Your internal sound and Love Potion is dam good man.”

“So this is what you call me for?”

“Yes James, I am very excited and want to let you know. Also please send xx Love potion to me on Monday as I have transferred the money to your account yesterday. I want to thank you for inventing the Love Potion. Thank you..Thank you.. Thank you.”

“Mr. W you could always call me in the afternoon mah. Don’t have to call me this early what”.

“Mr. James I am too happy and excited and can’t Tahan already. I called you many times yesterday but I can’t get thru. I waited for you to call back. But you didn’t”.

“Yah I got many miss calls. I was on the line. Normally I would call back the next day”.

This is what Mr. W wanted to share with me at 8.30am on a Sunday morning. Well in a way I m happy too.

Mr.W’s Swiftlet farm has operated for more than a year now, before this there were only 30 plus nests. He has used many types of aroma as well as many type of sound from the market yet over the years there is no significant increase in birds’ population and nests until he tried Love potion and Hypnotic internal sound.

Now within 2 months plus the number of nests doubled up. That is what causes the excitement and in a way he wanted to share with me like many of the users of Love potion.

I guess this kind of excitement money can never buy. Those who are involved in Swiftlets farming understood very well what I mean. So the Best is to Share is always right.

Good Swiftlet Farming All. The Best is to Share.

concrete house

( everything concrete from roof to walls)

Reinforced Concrete for All

Photograph by Fritz Hoffmann, National Geographic

These concrete houses in Dalian, China, are in some part thanks to Thomas Edison, who revolutionized the cement industry with his creation of the long kiln, Israel said.

In 1911 the inventor claimed that "men are lunatics" to keep building with bricks and steel, rather than concrete laced with steel reinforcing bars, or rebars.

"A re enforced concrete building will stand practically forever," he said. He also predicted that by 1941, "all construction will be of re enforced concrete, from the finest mansions to the tallest skyscrapers."

In the 1920s skyscrapers were largely steel-reinforced concrete, Israel noted.

........................................................................................................................................................................

100% concrete house is the next thing in construction and many developing countries are using this method specially China. In fact Swiftlet farm has been using this for long time. U see how advance Swiftlet farmer is!

猫头鹰的问题在燕屋農場

一大濺的猫头鹰屎。 一大堆的。

看看那羽毛与打火機比较的大小。

另外一根猫头鹰的羽毛在燕屋農場。

「James，如何解決貓頭鷹問題？」我的一個從Muar的讀者哭诉的。

他的燕屋農場是位于油棕園。 他是Love Potion的一名长期用戶，並且他的燕子群是穩定地增加的，因為他去年开始用Love Potion。

最近貓頭鷹常常飛入他的燕屋農場並且殺害了許多燕子。 燕子的数量在短短的几个星期之內卓越地減少。

现在燕子是害怕进入燕屋農場和很勉強的停留。 自這個事件之后，許多燕子移居到附近的燕屋農場。

「James, 我有安裝灯在入口孔、鋒利的釘和電線来以防貓頭鷹，但是它們似乎还是不害怕的。 它們仍然飛入燕屋農場。 我该怎么办?」

如同我提及了許多次，貓頭鷹是不怕那些荧光灯或霓虹灯在入口孔的。 实际上，它們很喜歡。 當光灯被开在黃昏期間时，有許多的昆蟲盤旋在灯附近的。 這吸引尋找昆蟲的蝙蝠和其他鳥类。

在灯附近有這样活跃的活動在入口孔也吸引了貓頭鷹和誘惑它們到此伏擊。 灯也吸引了蝙蝠飛入燕屋農場。 一旦貓頭鷹觀察到有蝙蝠和燕子飛行入燕屋農場，它們很自然瞬時的觉得燕屋農場内有許多猎物。

這將貓頭鷹就很自然的飛入燕屋農場。 一旦它們找到有容易的食物(燕子)它們就不會離開了。 有时，貓頭鷹甚而活在燕屋農場。 追赶它們离开是很困难的。 它們是很聰明的，並且有非常明锐的眼力也帮助它們在晚上尋找食物，因此燕屋農場是一个很合适的场所。

如果您的燕子数量突然減少，或者有許多死的燕子、燕子蛋在地板上等等。 您應該提防貓頭鷹。

您可以檢查是否有貓頭鷹屎在燕屋農場。 它不是很艱苦要辨認的。 貓頭鷹有很差的消化系统，因此它們的糞便是含水的，不像其他鳥类的糞便一样。

貓頭鷹的糞便是一大堆一大堆的在环绕区和筑窝区的。 所以，有扶手或欄杆在燕屋農場是不適當的。 這些是鼓勵貓頭鷹棲息和伏擊的地方。 但是，如果您看看那些在网络上的燕屋農場照片，很多是有钢欄杆在楼梯口域和互连孔。 因此，我們是如何才能除掉貓頭鷹呢？ 首先，我们避免有貓頭鷹可以棲息的地方。

最好是不要殺害它們，但是捕抓它们。 我的好朋友E先生從Kedah的在这一点是非常純熟的。 他等待它們进入燕屋農場。 有时他等待几天的时间。 一旦它們进入燕屋農場，他會马上关掉入口孔。 那就是貓頭鷹的末日。 E先生会用一個巨大的捕鱼网来捉它們。 您必须當心，貓頭鷹有非常鋒利的爪。 保證您有一個厚實的皮手套。

我知道许多被捕捉的貓頭鷹往住都是被殺害的，但是我比较喜欢放它们在很遠的地方。 E先生曾经告訴了我，他在他Kedah，Sik的燕屋農場捕捉住了一對貓頭鷹，然后在在Kuala Kangsar放了它们。 他甚而涂上藍色在它們的尾巴，确定它們不再是同一個，如果以后再有貓頭鷹攻擊。

到目前為止它們都沒有回來。 一些人注射了毒物在老鼠来毒害許多貓頭鷹。 一些也有用槍来击落猫头鹰的燕屋主。我不本身不鼓勵這個方法来除掉貓頭鷹，因为我不鼓励殺害。 一些人也使用老鼠膠来漿黏它們。 那些比较小的貓頭鷹可以容易被黏到，但是那些大的猫头鹰是很难对付的。

在我們决定如何擺脫貓頭鷹之前，确定我們必须發現有猫头鹰攻擊了我們的燕屋農場的预效。 我也看过有許多貓頭鷹的地方，但是它們沒有攻擊燕屋農場，也没有飛入燕屋農場。

我的一個燕屋農場在Selangor的北部，那裡居住了几对貓頭鷹在一家被放棄的工廠的屋頂上。 我的燕屋農場位于那里大约100米外。 到目前為止，还没有攻擊我的燕屋農場。 我的燕子群有非常感人地增長，並且我还沒有發現如何貓頭鷹的攻擊的標誌。因此暫時我不會干擾它們在那裡。

如果我們不干擾它們，大自然也可以和諧的居住在一起。

Owl problem in Swiftlet farm

Big splashes. Big patch.

Look at the Feather compared to the size of the lighter.

Another feather of Olw in Swiftlet farm.

“James how to solve the Owl problem?” Cried one of my readers from Muar.

His Swiftlet farm is located at an Oil palm plantation. He is a regular user of Love potion and his birds’ population has been increasing steadily since he uses Love Potion last year.

Lately Owls have flied into his farm and killed many birds. As the results the population reduces remarkably within weeks.

Now Swiftlets are afraid of the farm and reluctant to stay. Ever since this incident many swiftlets have migrated to nearby Swiftlet farms.

“James I had installed light at the entrance- hole, even sharp spikes and electric wire to shock the Owl but they don’t seem to scare. They still fly into the farm. What should I do?”

As I had mentioned many times Owl is not afraid of those florescent lights or neon light at the EH. In fact they like it. When the light is switched on during dusk there would be lots of insects circling around the light. This attracts Bat as well and other birds that hunt for insect.

This lively activity around the light at the EH attracts Owl and tempting them to ambush from far. The Light also attracts Bats to fly into the farm. Once the Owl observed the movement of Bats and Swiftlets that fly into the farm their natural instant tells them that there are many preys in the farm.

This would make the Owls fly into the farm. Once they have got used to easy food (swiftlets) they will never leave. In some cases Owl even live in Swiflet farm. Chasing them away is hard. They are smart and have very sharp eyesight that helps them to hunt at night so swiftlet farm would be a good place.

If your birds’ population suddenly reduced or there are many dead birds, eggs on the floors, etc. You should watch out for Owl.

What you could do is to check the dropping of Owl in farm to ascertain whether they are there. It’s not that hard to identify them. Owl has got poor digestive system therefore their droppings are watery not like other birds droppings.

The Owls droppings are big patches scattered in the Roving and nesting areas. Therefore it is not advisable to have bars or hand railing in farm. These are the places that encourage Owl to perch and to ambush. But if you look at some of the pictures of Swiftlet farm in the Web, so many of them have iron bars at the stair areas and the inter holes. So how do we get rid of Owls? First of all avoid having places that Owls could perch.

The best is not to kill them but to capture it. My good friend from Kedah Mr. E is very skillful at this. He waits for them to enter the farm. Sometimes he waited for days. Once they are inside he would close the EH. That is the end of the Owl. Mr.E catches them with a huge fishing net. Beware, Owl has very sharp claws. Make sure you have a thick leather glove on.

I knew most Owls that are caught are killed but I prefer to release them far away. Mr. E once told me he caught a pair of Owl in his farm in Sik Kedah and later released them in Kuala Kangsar. He even painted the pair with blue paint on their tails to make sure they are not the same one if in future there were Owl attack.

So far none of them came back. To some extend many Owls were poisoned with rats that are injected with poison. Some are shot down by farmers who have gun. I personally don’t encourage this method of getting rid of Owl as I condemn killing. Some use Rats Glue to stick them. The smaller type of Owl can be easily glued but those big ones are hard to glue.

Before we decided to get rid of Owls make sure we find some signs that indicate that they actually attacked our birds in our farm. There are many occasions where I saw many Owls in an area but they didn’t attack the Swiftlet nor do they fly into the Swiftlet farm.

One of my farms in Northern Selangor, there are few pairs of Owls living in the Roof of an abandoned factory. My Swiftlet farm is located about 100 meter away. So far there is yet an attack in my farm. My birds’ population is growing very impressively and I found no sign of Owl attack. So I won’t disturb them for now until there they do.

Nature can live in harmony if we don’t disturb them.

Good Swiftlet farming All.

只是一個Amp = 只是一只燕子

(燕屋農場裏的控制室)

「James,我是T先生。 我想要跟您買Amp。 我的Amp似乎不起作用了。 您有什麼好的推薦？ 」

「T先生，您的燕屋農場有多大？您的燕屋農場有多少層樓？」

「它是大概20x75一個3層樓的燕屋農場」。

「T先生，目前您使用多少個Amps呢？」

「1個 Amp.」

「您是說3層樓只是使用1個 Amp ？」

「是的，James。 所有的電線都聯結去1個 Amp。 我都不知道哪根電線連接到哪層樓」。

「這是誰的主意？」

「我師傅和顧問的主意」。

這就是发生在T先生的燕屋農場。 他現在有問題，一些高音揚聲器沒有聲音，並且他不知道哪些高音揚聲器連接到哪裏去。 他更换了高音揚聲器，但是仍然沒有聲音。 它可能是電線接線的問題。 它可能是Amp的問題….可能是更多的問題。

我就是不明白為什麼多数燕屋農場只是使用一個Amp。 是因爲节省成本嗎，就是那麽簡單嗎。 這些人要您付十千上萬的服务費，當談到真誠和寬厚時，他們是一無所有。

一個Amp需要多少錢？ 最多是幾百零吉而已。 他們要您付上萬的服務費，當談到Amps的時候，他們甚而不想要給您額外的Amps。

連接所有3 層樓的電線到1個 Amp將使Amp的寿命減短。 這是因爲超載和声波不穩定的流程。

這是非常普通的，我看過許多燕屋農場使用這個所謂的技術。 它唯一的原因是「我師傅說的」。 您師傅不想要您知道的是他把Amp的錢都安裝在他的口袋裏。

理论上，1層樓應該有1個 Amp。 如果一個Amps中途發生了故障，燕屋農場裏仍然有其他的2個 Amps在開者內部的聲音。 外部的聲音應該有單獨1個Amp。

有許多燕屋農場是知名的師傅使用只是1個單獨的Amp。 最糟糕的是，外部聲音在左道和內部聲音在右道。所謂它是一個技術來達到更好的聲音。 因該是更好的省錢技術。

當太多的電線进入一個Amp的時候，這使電線容量超載而這將導致短路。 這會干擾到2個播道之間和不穩定的声波將使聲音變形。

就好像T先生的燕屋農場，當Amp發生了故障，整個燕屋農場都沒有聲音了。 如果他有超过一個Amp，他就不會有這個問題了。 莫名其妙地，有這樣為他們自己省錢的方式，這些師傅對新手們還是有很大的需求。

在燕屋農場裏，沒有魔術或奇蹟的，只要您瞭解和知道如何使用現有的小配件，它會明確地帮助您的燕屋農場吸引更多的燕子。

Just 1 Amp = Just 1 Swiftlet

( The Control room of a Swiftlet farm)

“James I am Mr.T. I want to buy Amp from you. My Amp seems not functioning. What is your recommendation? ”

“Mr.T how big is your farm? How many storeys is your farm?”

“It is about 20x75f a 3 sty farm.”

“Mr.T, Currently how many Amps are you using?”

“Just 1 Amp.”

“You mean 3sty using just 1 Amp?”

“Yes James. All wires go to 1 Amp. I don’t even know which wire connected to which floor.”

“Whose idea was this?”

“My Sifu and consultant‘s Idea”.

This happened to Mr.T ‘s Swiftlet farm. He is having problem now as some of the tweeters are not functioning and he doesn’t know which connections it goes to. Even he changed the tweeters there is still no sound. It could be the wiring connections. It could be the Amp ….and could be more problems.

I just don’t understand why most Swiftlet farms are using only one Amp. It’s all because of cost saving. These people are charging ten of thousand for their services yet when it comes to sincerity and generosity there is none.

How much is an Amp? Just few hundred ringgit. They are charging ten of thousand when it comes to Amps they don’t even want to give you an extra.

Having all wires of 3 floors running to 1 Amp would make the life span of the Amp short. This is due to overload and unstable flow of sound wave.

This is very common I have seen many swiftlet farms applying this so called technique. The reason being is “my Sifu says so”. What your Sifu doesn’t want you to know is that he is saving the Amp money for his pocket.

Ideally 1 floor should have 1 Amp. In the even one of the Amps malfunctioned the farm still has it internal sound running on the other 2 Amps. The external sound should have an individual Amp.

There are many farms done by well known Sifus utilizing 1single Amp for all. Worst of all, the Left channel for External sound and the Right channel for internal. Cited this is a technique for better sound. Yes technique for better saving money.

When too many wires going into an Amp with capacity overload this would cause short circuit. There would be interference between the 2 channels and the unstable sound wave would make the sound distorted.

Like Mr.T’s farm the whole farm without sound when the Amp malfunctioned. If he had more than one Amp then he wouldn’t have this problem. Somehow with such technique of saving money of their own pockets these Sifus still a big demand by many newbies.

There is no magic or miracle in Swiftlet farming as long you understand and know how to utilize the gadgets available it would definitely helps your farms to attract more Swiftlets.

新燕窩的標號在高音揚聲器上

它們喜歡的聲音和高音揚聲器

他們就是喜愛這個高音揚聲器。 在高音揚聲器之下已被噴洒了Love Potion

燕子屎

更多的燕子屎

有羽毛的燕子屎是代表好的現象

病倒了。 我想是因爲太多工作和沒有時間休息的原因。 我總是告訴自己我一要好好的休息，但是就是辦不到。 或許下星期我會這樣做，不答電話，不參觀燕屋農場。

但是我還是不可以休息。 一旦我躺下，我的頭腦開始想「我的承包商在做什麽？ 他們會趕的起工嗎？ 在北部的燕屋農場是什麽情形？ 在东海岸的燕屋農場又是什麽情形….等等。必须學會不要想太多。

不要知道太多关于燕屋農場是更好的。 留下來給其他人處理是更好的。 因此不必想太多。

上星期我有感冒的時候，參觀了我為讀者修建的一個燕屋農場。 它是離K.L少過20Km的地方。 它不是燕子的主区，但是它是還好Ok的。 我告訴了燕屋主他可以有什麽樣的期望在這個區域，在他决定雇用我修建他的燕屋農場之前。 我想我們必須是懇切的。 我告訴他必須等待，因為這不是一個頭等的燕子地区。

我的身體很酸疼，並且我是不舒服的。 因為燕屋主已經常常打電話給我，我想我的義務是检查燕屋農場。通常我會做每1-1/2個月去看看燕屋農場的進展和矯正任何缺點。

這個燕屋農場開始了它的聲音在2010年11月的中旬。 在2個星期之后，大概在12月的時候我們在再進入檢查，其中一個內部的聲音沒有运作。 結果是蠻好的，有大量小堆小堆的燕子屎。

這個燕屋農場的建築考慮到外部和內部的因素。 关于外部因素，我們在這個區域附近調查了燕屋農場和它的燕子數量，和其次，燕子的食物和玩耍的地方。 所以入口孔的開洞被找出(大小、位置、高度等等) 在這個商店的後面。 它被投入在那裡不是爲了方便而它是預先被計劃好的。

关于內部，所有的天花板和牆壁都用了防熱和耐热的材料。 這是為了創造一個好的内部环境26-30度不管是熱天或下雨的季節。 這次，當我們進去那燕屋農場的時候，裡面是有大约有50堆的燕子屎，而且大多數的燕子屎都有羽毛的。 這表示燕子有停留，我很惊奇看到這樣的結果。 它到現在大约有3個月的時間了。 已經有幾個燕窩的標號。 什麼使我驚奇的是這不是一個燕子的主区，並且它是一個都市化的鎮。 就算在8-12個月的時間看到這樣的結果我已經很開心了，但是，它勝過了我期待的一切。 從燕子屎看來判斷，在短的时期内會有更多的燕窩。

這個燕屋農場是有一個非常獨特的高音揚聲器安排。 不是所有的高音揚聲器都面對入口孔，就好像其他的燕屋農場一樣。 我們都知道一些成功的燕屋農場裏面的唧啾叫的聲音(內部)都不是來自一個方向的。 因此，所有高音揚聲器面對一個方向不是明智的。 我做了許多實驗，並且發現這個方法真正地使小燕子停留。

此外，這個燕屋農場是使用GS-9外部和催眠內部聲音。 我是很惊奇的看到幾乎所有的內部高音揚聲器之下，有燕子屎。在燕屋農場的燕子屎鳥表明並且顯示在下去的6-12個月我們可以期望什麼。 它告訴我們内部的环境是否在可以接受的水平之下。 有燕子屎的區域和地方便是被展示光的密度水平(高或低)，還有高音揚聲器的安排和它的有效率。

燕屋主是非常高興的，並且他声称他是很幸运。 好的運氣不是常來的。

他說「James,有您的專門技術和我的一点運氣，它相等與成功的」

這是他第一個燕屋農場，從現在開始他是有信心做更多。

我顯示了他如何有效的使用Love Potion。 因為他的燕屋農場是新的，他需要使用更多的Love Potion。 我們沒有在這個燕屋農場放入任何燕子屎或氨。 它只用Love Potion，並且結果是意想不到的。 我們用Love Potion來排斥水泥的味道，還有其他的建築的氣味和它的結果是意想不到的，而且燕子也愛死它的。

在燕屋農場裡面過了30分鐘的時間，我告訴了他我們必須離去。 我勸告他千萬別留在新的燕屋農場超過30分鐘的時間，尤其是有新燕窩在。 (除非是一些需要矯正的是需要更長的时间)。 我知道許多燕屋主農在新的燕屋農場超過几個小时，一些還每2-3天就進入燕屋農場。 這對燕屋農場是不好的。一些规則我們是必須遵守的，如果我們想要成爲一位成功的燕屋主。 一些也許不贊成我的想法，但是這是我的想法。

雖然這個燕屋農場的結果是遠離那些在燕子主区的Kelantan、Perak、Kedah、Trengganu等等的，在3個月的時間有十二的窩。 但是，它的地区和這個燕屋農場的地點是都市化的市鎮，這樣的結果是认為不錯了。

以上的燕屋農場是使用：

1) GS-9 & 催眠聲音(2個的安排)
2) Love Potion
3) 新的高音揚聲器安排系統
4) 2x5壓力高音揚聲器(每一Rm1.40)沒有二極管。

Doing the Right Way

New Nest Marking on Tweeter

They like the Sound & Tweeters

They just love this Tweeters. Below the Tweeters have been Sprayed with Love Potion

Birds Droppings

Birds Dropping

Birds Dropping with Feathers indicate good sign

Down with Flu again. I guess too much of works and no time to rest. I had always told myself I want a good rest but that never seemed to come. I will do that perhaps next week, no answer of call and no farm visiting.

But I can’t rest neither. The moment I lied down my mind started to think “what happened to my contractors? Are they working towards to the dateline? What happened to the Swiftlet farms in the North? What happened to the one in the East….and so on..Must learn not to think. .

It is much better not to know so much about Swiftlet farming. Just leave it to someone to handle it. So don’t have to think about it.

While having flu last week I visited a Farm which I had built for my reader. It is located less than 20Km from K.L. It is not a Bird Prime Area but it is reasonable Ok. I had told the owner about what to be expected from this area before he decided to engage me to build this farm for him. I guess we have to be sincere. I told him he has to wait as this is not a Prime Bird area.

My body is aching and I am not well. Since the owner has been calling me often I guess it is my obligation to check out the farm. I normally would do this every 1-1/2 month once to see the progress and rectify whatever shortcomings.

This Swiftlet farm started its sound in mid of Nov 2010. After 2 weeks we went in again somewhere in Dec as one of the internal sound was not working. The result is good with plenty of small patches of birds dropping.

The construction of this farm has taken into consideration of the external and internal factors. As for the External factors we have studied the Swiftlet farms around this area and its population and Secondly the area where the birds foray for food and play. Therefore the opening of the EH is located (size, position, height, etc) at the back potion of this Shop. It was put there not out of convenient it was preplanned.

As for internal all ceilings and walls are insulated with heat resistant materials. This is to create a good internal environment of 26-30C immaterial hot or raining season.

This time when we went inside the farm there were about 50 patches of bird’s shits and most of them are in full patches with feathers around it. This shows birds had stayed I was surprised to see such result. It had just operated for about 3 months now. There were few nests markings. What surprised me was this is not a prime area and it was an urbanized town. I would happy to see such result in 8-12 months but it outperformed what I had expected. By judging from the Droppings there would be more nests in a short period of time.

This farm has a very unique Tweeter arrangement. Not all tweeters are facing the EH which commonly practiced by many. As we know the chirping sounds of a populated successful swiftlet farms (internal) don’t come from one direction. So having all tweeters facing one direction is not wise. I have done many experiments and discovered this method really makes the young birds stay.

Furthermore this farm is using GS-9 External and Hypnotic Internal sound. I was surprised to see almost all areas below the internal tweeters have birds’ droppings

Birds’ droppings indicate and show us what to be expected from the farm in 6-12 months time. It tells tales. It tells us whether the internal environment is at the acceptable level. The areas and spots where the birds droppings are found show the light density level (high or low) and the effectiveness of the tweeters arrangement.

The owner was very happy and he claimed that he is Lucky. Well Luck doesn’t come all the times.

He claims “James with your expertise and my little Luck it is equal to success”

This is his first Swiftlet farm and now he is confident to start few more.

I showed him how to apply the Love Potion effective. Since his farm is new he needs to apply more Love potion. We didn’t put any Birds Shit or Ammonia in this farm as I don’t favor them. It only uses Love Potion and the result was fantastic. We use Love Potion to repel the cement and other construction smell and it works fantastically furthermore birds like them.

After spending 30 minutes inside the farm I told him we have to go. I advised him not to spend longer than 30 minutes in new farm that has new nests in it. (Unless there is something to rectify which needs longer hour) I knew many farmers spend hours in new farm some visit every 2 to 3days. This is not good for the farm. There are certain rules we need to follow if we want to be a successful swiftlet farmer. Some may not agree with me but this is what I practice.

Thought the result of this farm is far below compared to those Swiftlet farms in prime area like Kelantan, Perak, Kedah, Trengganu, etc which in certain cases 3 months time have dozen of nests. But given the geographical area and it urbanized town activities of this farm location such result is consider good.

Good Swiftlet farming All. The Best is To Teach and Share.

The above Swiftlet farm uses:

1) GS-9 & Hypnotic sound (2 sound arrangements)

2) Love Potion

3) New Tweeters Arrangement system

4) 2x5 piezo tweeters (Rm1.40 each) without diode.

5) First grade Dark Meranti

What SubSpecies Are they?????....or species?

Many have been wondering what is the exact Species of Swiftlets that live in our farm. It is hard to identify them even biologists having hard time to do so. It would be good to read some information about the Subspecies .

The Edible-nest Swiftlet (Aerodramus fuciphagus) is a small bird of the swift family which is found in South-east Asia. Its nest is made of solidified saliva and is used to make bird's nest soup.

Description

It is 11 to 12 cm long and weighs 15 to 18 grams. The plumage is blackish-brown above, paler on the underparts. The rump is slightly paler than the rest of the upperparts. The tail is slightly forked and the wings are long and narrow. The bill and feet are black.

The subspecies A. f. micans is paler and greyer while A. f. vestitus is darker with a rump that is less obviously paler.

Several calls are uttered including a loud, rattling call used for echolocation in dark caves.

Distribution and subspecies

There are six subspecies of the Edible-nest Swiftlet:

* A. f. fuciphagus - The nominate subspecies found in Java, Bali and the western Lesser Sunda Islands

*A. f. inexpectatus - Andaman and Nicobar Islands, vagrant to Burma

*A. f. dammermani - Flores, known from only a single specimen

*A. f. micans - eastern Lesser Sundas (Sumba, Savu and Timor)

*A. f. vestitus - Sumatra and Borneo, sometimes considered to be a separate species, the Brown- rumped Swiftlet, Aerodramus vestitus (Lesson, 1843).

*A. f. perplexus - Maratua Archipelago off eastern Borneo

German's Swiftlet (Aerodramus germani), with two subspecies germani and amechanus, was formerly considered to be conspecific with the Edible-nest Swiftlet, but is now often considered to be a separate species. It occurs in the Malay Peninsula, central Thailand, coastal Vietnam and Cambodia, Hainan, northern Borneo and parts of the Philippines.

Behavior

It feeds over a range of habitats from coastal areas to the mountains, occurring up to 2,800 meters above sea-level on Sumatra and Borneo. Its diet consists of flying insects which are caught on the wing. It often feeds in large flocks with other species of swift and swallow.

It breeds in colonies in caves, in a cleft in a cliff or sometimes on a building. The bracket-shaped nest is white and translucent and is made of layers of hardened saliva attached to the rock. It measures about 6 cm across with a depth of 1.5 cm and a weight of about 14 grams. Two white, oval, non-glossy eggs are laid.

Relationship with man

The nests used in bird’s nest soup are composed almost entirely of saliva with little or no plant material. The soup is made by soaking and steaming the nests in water and is said to be an aphrodisiac and to have various medicinal qualities. The nests can fetch high prices and many colonies are harvested commercially.

Some populations such as those in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have been harvested extensively leading to them being considered critically threatened under the IUCN criteria.

入口孔的位置

(看看这些环绕区是那么的光亮)

入口孔的方向是否那么的重要呢？ 是和不是的…看看情况。 更重要的是入口孔的方向是面对燕子寻找食物的源頭和燕子回來的方向。

或許許多年前，大概20年前，許多人將避免安置入口孔朝向東部或西部。 這是由于恐怕陽光会直接照入燕屋農場。

我并不确的这是一个问题，因為我們的頭腦和聰明是靈活的，我們可能解決所有這些陽光的问题通過使用分開板和設計在一個内部系统，因此可以容納這個問題的。

那些會做和瞭解如何使用分開板的那些人，根本不视陽光問題的存在。

有时候我們不可能避免安置入口孔在某些方向。 這会发生在已经被建好的商店單位，燕屋主不可能掌握商店的正面位置。 或者有時候，燕屋農場的周围沒有允許我們安置入口孔的余地。(風、小山等等)

但是從這裡并不代表我們就不可能修建一個好的燕屋農場。 我們总是可以面对这个问题，通过一個好的設計總是可以抵抗这样的问题，如何適應大廈的位置或外部的环境。

我本身不會偏心任何方向，不管入口孔是在北部或南部或西部或東部。 我只是尋找有燕子的地方。 关于如何減少清早或傍晚的阳光，我會使用內部的設計和入口孔的大小来抵抗阳光的照射。

别忘了在新的燕屋農場，光的强度是非常重要的。 我們需要一定的光亮来吸引很多很多的燕子到刚建造好的燕屋農場。 越多的燕子飛入燕屋農場玩，就越高的機會它們会停留。 如果它是太暗，小的燕子是不會冒險深入到燕屋農場的裡面，因為它們还未熟悉这个新的環境和同經是害怕的。

經常这一点会混淆許多燕屋主。那些參觀过成功燕屋農場的人会争辩说，大多数的成功燕屋農場都是非常黑暗的。 一個人幾乎不可能找到出口，如果沒有手电筒。 在某些方式他們是对 的。 所以，越黑暗的燕屋農場是越好的，並且他們是坚持這个原則，然后他們發現在几个月后燕屋農場根本沒有任何燕窝。

您是否在書本有看过這個詞組「新的燕屋農場的大的入口孔，並且，當然燕子群增加之后，把入口孔改小」您是否瞭解它的意思？ 他們沒有再解释，是吗？ 他们认为所有的燕屋主都是聰明的，但并不是如此。

為什麼當燕子群增加了光的强度就可以減少？ 新的燕屋農場應該有大的入口孔，以便燕屋農場是更加明亮的，容易让小的燕子飞行，不容易地被嚇唬等等。 當燕子群增加了，那大概是1或2年后的时间，到这个时候燕子群已经习惯了它的黑暗和飛行道路。 那么，就算再改小的入口孔減少了光的强度，燕子不會觉得有任何的困難飛行到裡面或裡外，因为它們已经习惯了。

明显地，它們可以使用回音定位，但是這个只是成熟的燕子会。 成熟的燕子不是好像小的燕子一样容易吸引。 如果一個刚建好的燕屋農場是太暗的，那么这就是自找苦吃。

一個刚建好的燕屋農場的未來是非常依靠小的燕子的，而不是老燕子和成熟的燕子。 所以，當您修造燕屋農場时，确定它拥有所有优良的品质来吸引大量的小燕子。

关于入口孔的位置，它可以是在任何的地方或您要的方向，除非您瞭解並且知道光强度和小燕子和成熟的燕子之間。 我肯定您们全部都有看过許多非常成功的燕屋農場的入口孔朝向西部和東部，並且也有許多失败的燕屋農場也是同樣的朝向同一个方向。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

最好的东西是与大家分享!
