在市鎮區的燕屋農場

(底层有经营活动)

(底层是充分地被運用，不相獨立燕屋農場一樣)

(多數的底层有经营活动)

(比較小的一個)

(另一個大的很快將完成的)

(比較更小的一個)

(大多數底层可以创造收入。這是其中一個它的好處)

看起來現在的趨向是在鎮區域巨大的，而不是在種植園。 那肯定燕屋農場在鎮里比在種植園裏有更多的好處和益處。 他們是巨大的，一些是20 x100尺，3層樓佔領2-4個商店的單位。 那將給他們大約有總42，000方尺。

在市鎮的中心，底层能為您賺取好的租金而且不需要憂慮竊賊和掠食性動物的等等。 底層可以賺取好的收入來供銀行的貸款或補貼，如果產業是由銀行貸款的。 实际上，其中一些大廈就是這樣做。 電源、水源和道路德基础设施總是獨立燕屋農場的一個問題，但是，那些在市鎮裏的燕屋農場就沒有這個問題。

他們只需要做到的就是保證大廈是適當地做的，沒有不美觀和被投訴。 大多數都是很美麗化的做，並且它根本不像燕屋農場。 對于那些不是燕屋農場的人更本不會注意到這些美麗巨大的大廈是竟然是燕屋農場。

不驚奇如果那些從镇议會的人也注意不到。 它是美麗的，乾淨，沒有噪音污染然後就沒什麼好投訴的。

對於這些人「GAHP – Good Animal Husbandry Practice好畜牧业实践」根本不存在。 他們不好像其他人一樣的玩這場遊戲。 他們是成功的燕屋主有巨大的資本。這些人和那些很徹底的失敗人不同之処就在他們的態度問題。所有付得起，他們真正地确信，他們的大廈看起來不像燕屋農場。 事實上，他們的大廈或燕屋農場美化了整個市鎮區域，就是有這樣的案件誰不鼓勵更多這樣的大廈在市鎮裏呢。 它有益於的經濟和所有方面。 更本沒有好像那些沒有塗上灰泥的外在牆壁、沒有节省費用的窗口或者減少窗口的這會事。 他們甚而增加更多窗口，以便看起來更像一般正常的办公大楼。 一切都是美觀地被油上漆，沒有為油漆省錢。

有態度問題的那些人就會緊緊的擠壓建築費用的那些人，直到不夠費用來買沙子為外部塗上灰泥為止。

有时候，我想知道燕屋農場的成功之道是否在於如何節省由整修的费用和修建大廈的費用測量呢？ 那是不是越便宜的建筑費就越成功的燕屋農場，或者實際上燕子是更喜歡醜陋的燕屋農場？ 如果是的話，90%的燕屋農場應該是成功的，10%的燕屋農場是失敗的。 可悲的是，卻是相反的90%失敗和10%成功的。

如果所有的燕屋主都可以放下“大人“的態度，那裡就沒有GAHP這會事了，並且也不需要由這個指南拉著鼻子走。

因此，一切都是關於態度。 那不是有多富有或者有多大的燕屋農場。 如果燕屋主的態度是很糟糕，燕子也不會在他的燕屋農場想要停留和做窩。 燕子有一种天性。 醜陋的燕屋農場不可能吸引許多燕子，可能20年前還不是有很多燕屋農場之前。 那時候，就算是雞寮都可以吸引燕子停留，但是現在就沒有了。

上星期我遇見了其中一些“大人“，並且我們談論了巨大的燕屋農場和關於那些獨立燕屋農場和那些在市鎮區域的燕屋農場。 我們都同意獨立燕屋農場需要更長的時間來有窩。 當我們在聊天的時候，他们其中的一個開玩笑地說，时說「兄弟，沒聽過別人說白鴿眼嗎!。 當然美麗的燕屋農場吸引更多燕子。 獨立燕屋農場那裏美的。.哈。.哈。.哈」。

到某种程度我也許同意。 「白鴿眼」。

Swiftlet Farming in Town Area

( ground floor has business activities)

( Ground floor fully utilised unlike Standalone)

(most ground floor has business activities)

(the smaller one)

( another big one coming up will be completed soon)

(the smaller one)

( most ground floor could generate income.This is one of the advantages))

It seems that the trend now is going big and huge in town area, not in plantation anymore. Definitely having a Bh in town has more benefits and advantages than building one at the plantation. They are huge some are 20x100f occupying 2-4 shop lots of 3 storey. That would give them approximately total of 42 000 sf.

In the center of a town the ground floor could fetch good rental and no worries about thief and predators and so on. The ground floor could generate good income to cover or subsidize the bank installment if the property is financed by banks. In fact, some of these buildings are doing this. Electricity, water and road infrastructures are always a problem for Stallone (S.A) but not for those Bhs in town area.

All they have to do is making sure the buildings are properly done and no eye sore and no complain. Most are beautifully done and it doesn’t looks like a Bh at all. For those who are not into Swiftlet farming they would never notice that these beautiful huge buildings are Bhs.

It may not be surprised that the people from the town councils may not notice either. It is beautiful, clean, no noise pollution then what is there to complain about.

To these guys “GAHP” doesn’t exist at all. They don’t play the same game like most. There are successful Swiftlet farmers who came in with huge capital. The different between these guys and those who failed badly are attitude problems.

With all afford, they really make sure that their buildings don’t look like Bhs. If fact theirs buildings or Bhs beautify the town in such case whose doesn’t encourage more of such building in town area. It contributes to the economy and all parties benefited. There is no such thing like no plastering external walls, no window or few windows to save cost. They even add more windows so that the building looks more like normal office block. All are painted beautifully, no such things as saving on painting cost.

Those who have attitude problems are those that squeeze the building cost to maximum until not enough sand for plastering the external walls.

Sometimes, I wonder is successful in Swiftlet farming is measured by the cost of the renovation and the cost of constructing the building? Is that means the cheaper the building cost the more successful the Bh would be in future or Swiftlets actually like ugly shabby Bhs? If that is the case then 90% of the Bhs would be successful and 10% failed. Sad to say so it is the opposite 90% failed and 10% success.

If all Bh owners could emulate all these big guys attitudes then there would be no such thing called the GAHP and all won’t need to be toll by the nose by the guidelines.

So it is all about attitude. It is not how rich or how big is the Bhs. If the owner’s attitudes suck then even Swiftlets won’t want to stay and make nests in his Bh. Swiftlets have a kind of instinct. A shabby Bhs won’t attract many birds perhaps 20 years ago when there were only few Bhs around. At that time even chicken coops could attract Swiftlets to stay but now no more.

I met up with some of these big guys last week and we discussed about huge Bhs regarding Standalones and those Bhs in town area. We agree that the Standalone takes longer period to have nests. While chit-chatting one of them jokingly said “Brother, never heard people say Bird’s Eye meh!. Of course beautiful Bhs attract more birds. Stallone where got beautiful..ha..ha..ha..”

To a point I may agree with him. “Bird’s Eye”.

Enjoy the pictures.

金屬屋頂

使用金屬屋頂的缺點是，它吸收熱能然後轉移熱能进入燕屋農場。 因爲價錢和容易安裝我們沒有選擇而使用它。

我看見過許多燕屋農場的屋頂使用金屬(鋅)和他們的内部环境是亂七八曹的。在热天气的期間，可以创造纪录到36-40度，並且，當下雨时它卻下到28度之下。 在這樣的情况下， 我想知道哪個種类的燕子會停留。 無!

也不是完全不能使用金屬屋頂或者完全避免它。 如果您會利用它，它是可以使用的。 如果在金屬屋頂之下的天花板材料是2x4'的天花板，而不是水泥，那么必須安裝防熱材料在金屬屋頂之下。 這是為了减少從金屬屋頂吸引的热量傳进燕屋農場。

通常許多人會安裝2-4寸的寳麗瓏在天花板的上面。 如果防熱材料直接地被安裝在金屬屋頂下，它進一步的幫助到。 因此，双重防熱，一個在金屬屋頂之下和另一個在天花板的上面。

如果沒有防熱材料在金屬屋頂之下。 在金屬屋頂和天花板之間空氣緩衝的溫度依然是高的。 因為在热天气，熱的壓力增加所有的热空气將被推擠到燕屋農場通过天花板的空白。

要減少在燕屋農場的溫度，許多人采取使用潤濕器、噴水隆頭等等來冷却燕屋農場的內部。 它的效果平不是那麽的好因爲燕屋農場的内部是一個閉合的地方。 除非所有門或通风孔被打開，以便新鲜的空气能經入，但是這樣做會危害的影響燕屋農場整體的内部环境。 最縂，您可以得到涼快的燕屋農場，有好溫度，但是沒有燕子停留或做窩。

要避免這樣，保證防熱材料是安裝在金屬屋頂之下，然后也放在天花板之間。 通過這樣做，它可以减少燕屋農場的溫度至少25%或更多。

一個好的燕屋農場是從它被修建的時候，而不是從被修建好的時候開始的。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

濕度可以幫助增加燕窩..但是不可以太高

(一個非常濕的地板)

其中一個可以幫助燕屋農場增加燕窩的因素是濕氣。 好的燕屋農場應該有好的濕氣控制在任何时刻在70-90%之間。 特别是為舊的燕屋農場，如果它的波動可以減少您就可以看到很巨大的燕窩增加。

您怎麼知道燕屋農場的濕度是否穩定？ 使用一個濕度計來檢查就行。 确定您使用一個高质量和可靠的濕度計。 我看過並且體驗過許多錯誤和不准決差指數而且质量的濕度計。 有很多次我參觀了失敗的燕屋農場並且發現許多濕度是在容忍的水平之下，但是在牆壁上的濕度計仍然顯示了80%。

在燕屋農場的好濕度應該是記錄大约70-90%不管天氣如何變動。 如果濕度是在這個記錄之外的，那么您應該做些事。

濕度不只是幫助燕窩的增長它也改善燕窩的品質。 有好濕度在燕屋農場，燕窩是更加大，更加乾淨，更加潔白等等。

如果您想要在您的燕屋農場增加燕窩，您必須維護濕氣(Rh)在一個好的水平之下。 因此，您應該做什麼呢？ 如今有許多電子的小配件，濕度的問題是很容易解決的。

潤濕器，薄霧製造器，洒灑器，喷水嘴頭等等。 對我來說，這些全部的目的只是一個，增加濕度。 它只是看看您要使用那一個，和哪一個對您的燕屋農場是適當的。

一些人声称燕屋農場應該是尽量，甚而地板必須是濕的。 對我來說，它不是地板或天花板甚至牆壁必須是濕的，它是關於濕度的水平。 如果有穩定的濕度和經常停留在70-90%之間，即使地板不是濕的，那么它已經帮助改善燕窩的品質並且被鼓勵燕窩增長。

如果燕屋農場是太濕的，它將影響板條，如果板條是质量差的類型，它將創造氣味，燕窩會变得软並且轉成淡黃色等等，小心在燕屋農場的濕度是不可以超出可以接受的水平之外的。 如果天气太濕的，它不僅不會幫助到燕屋農場，反而成為一個缺點。

Metal Roof

The disadvantage of using metal roof is, it absorbs heat and transfers the heat into the Bh. Due to cost and easy installation we have no choice but to use them.

I have seen many Bhs roofing using metal (zinc) and theirs internal environment goes hare wired. Making records of 36-40C during hot weather and when it rains it drops below 28C. In such condition I wonder which type of Swiftlets would stay. None!

It’s not that metal roofing can’t be used or totally should be avoided. It can if you know how to make use of it. If the ceiling material below the metal roofing is of 2x4’ ceiling board and not concrete then insulation material has to be put beneath the metal roofing. This is to reduce the heat absorbed by the metal roof from penetrating into the Bh

Normally many would put 2-4” thick Styrofoam on the top of the ceiling board inside the ceiling. It would help further if an insulation material is being put directly under the metal roof. So there would be double insulation, one beneath the metal roof and another one on the ceiling boards.

If there is no insulation material beneath the metal roofing. The temperature at the air buffer between the metal roof and the ceiling remain high. As the pressure increases during hot weather all hot air would be pushed into the Bh thru the gap of the ceiling.

To reduce the temperature in Bh many resorted to using Humidifiers, water sprinklers,etc to cool down the Bh’s internal. Its neither works as the internal of a Bh is a an closed area. Unless all doors or ventilation holes are opened up so that fresh air could be drawn into Bh often by doing this the whole internal environment is jeopardized. At the end you may get a cool Bh with good temperature reading but with birds staying or make nests.

To avoid this, make sure insulating materials are put beneath the metal roof and then hold them with ceiling boards. By doing this it could reduce the BH’s temperature by at least 25% or more.

A good Bh starts from the moment its constructed not after it has been constructed.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

Humidity Helps to Increase Nests..but Not too High

(a very wet wet floor)

One of the factors that could help to increase nests in Bh is Humidity. A good Bh should have good control of Rh at all time at 70-90%. Especially for Old Bhs if the gap or its fluctuation could be narrowed down one could see tremendous nests increase.

How do you know the Bh’s Rh is stable or otherwise? Use a Hygrometer to check. Make sure you use a high quality and reliable Hygrometer. I have seen and experienced many poor quality Hygrometers that give wrong and inaccurate reading. There were many incidents where I visit sick Bhs and discovered the Rh is way below accepted level and yet the Hygrometers on the wall showed 80%.

Good Rh in Bhs should record about 70-90% constantly immaterial the weather change. If the Rh recorded outside this gap then you should do something about it.

Rh not only helps to increase nests it also helps in nests quality. With good Rh in BH nests would be larger, cleaner, whiter, etc.

If you want to increase the Nests in your Bhs you have to maintain the humidity (Rh) at a good level. So what should you do? Nowadays with many electronic gadgets around it is easy to solve the Rh’s problem.

Humidifiers, Mist makers, sprinkles, spray nozzle, etc. To me all of these serve one purpose that is to increase Rh. It all depended on which you want to use that are suitable to your Bhs.

Some claimed that the Bh should be as wet as possible even the floor has to be wet. To me it is not the floor or the ceiling or even the wall have to be wet it is all about the level of Rh. If the Rh stable and constantly stays at 70-90% even if the floor is not wet then it has already helped the nests quality and encouraged nests grow.

If the Bh is too wet it would affect the planks if the planks are of poor quality type, it would create smell, the nests would became soft and turn yellowish, etc. Be careful not to exceed the acceptable level of Rh in Bhs. If it is too wet it wouldn’t help instead become disadvantage.

被关闭的燕屋農場

上升的长梯进入： 一位女性MPPP執行官員进入商店的二楼在Carnavon街

未加工的材料： 在Carnarvon街的一個大楼里，一位理事會工作者顯示一个应该包含燕窝的碗。

嚴肅的對待鎮壓：檳城的市政委员會執行人員在一间飼養燕子的商店拆掉分開，在Lorong Tok Aka。

當局使用一個电鋸闯进入一间非法的燕屋農場，再使用上升的长梯进入另外一间燕屋農場，被懷疑的另一個商店也是為同一個目的。

一个60成員的队伍，包括檳城市政委员會(MPPP)，警察和檳城兽医部门的人員，昨天在執行參與趕走非法的燕屋農場在乔治镇。

首先，大约在10早上，他們进入一间三毗鄰雙層的商店在Carnarvon街，但是却发现單位沒人住和黏貼了“出租” 通知在底層的門口。

然後，MPPP人員使用一架上升的长梯从顶楼通过窗口进入商店，並且除去在那商店的沉重被設色的玻璃。

不久之後，一个工人來打開門口，称他的老板告诉他被通報之後，因为有許多執行官員在那裡。

雖然MPPP人員發現在地板上有燕子屎，还要一个碗包含未加工的燕窝，他們找不到任何的燕窝和燕子在商店裡面。

一个人，拒绝提供名字，說他的老板三年前停止了燕屋農場事務。

「他装修了这个單位和等待有感兴趣的人租下这三个商店」，他說。

他的老板，只知道被城為Yeoh，在執行人员隊離了几分鐘之后到達，聽見他问他的工人為什麼執行人員必須进入他的商店好像竊賊一样。

當他看見攝影師在商店裡面拍燕子屎的时候， Yeoh失了理性，並且在驱走新聞記者之前拉扯了攝影師的背包。

執行隊伍然后進如在Lorong Tok Aka的另外一间雙層的商店，当时，用来吸引燕子的高音揚聲器的聲音是很明顯的被听到的。

在幾通未回答的電話之後，他們使用一個电鋸切開门锁。

他們在門口留下了一个RM250的複合通知，同时也没收了在單位里的高音揚聲器和拆除了為燕屋農場使用的分開。

MPPP劃分了在城市里的燕屋農場为四個類別，並且昨天的執行行動是操作的開始反對非法地被轉換成這样燕屋農場的32個站點之一。

檳城當地的政府和交通运输管理委员會主席，Chow Kon Yeow說這些燕屋農場在去年被發布了通知来停止操作。

「我們之前已经对11個新的非法燕屋農場及早行動。

「第三個類別是50名燕屋主申請了執照，但是在还沒得到認同，第四個類別的28名燕屋主是操作在臨時執照」，他說。

當地的政府国家會议在去年决定了9月2日之后，新的燕屋農場不可以在檳城和馬六甲的遺產站點，當现有的那些將必須在三年里停止。

Chow說采取行动不會等待到宽限結束之后才开始。

Swiftlet farm shutdown

Skylift entry: A female MPPP enforcement officer entering the second floor of the shophouses in Carnavon Street

Unprocessed material: A council worker showing a bowl believed to contain birds' nest in a building in Carnarvon Street.

Serious about crackdown: Penang Municipal Council enforcement personnel taking down a partition for swiflet breeding at the shophouse on Lorong Tok Aka.

THE authorities used a chain- saw to break into an illegal swiftlet nest farming site and a skylift to gain entry into another building suspected to be used for the same purpose.

A 60-member team, comprising Penang Municipal Council (MPPP), police and Penang Veterinary Department personnel, took part in the enforcement exercise yesterday to rid George Town of illegal swiftlet farming premises.

They first went to three adjoining double-storey shophouses on Carnarvon Street at about 10am but found the units unoccupied and ‘To Let’ notices pasted on the doors at the lower level.

. MPPP personnel then used a skylift to get to the top floor and climbed into the building via a window there after removing its heavily tinted panes.

Shortly after, a worker came to open the door, saying that his boss told him to do so after being notified that there were many enforcement officers there.

Although the MPPP personnel found swiftlet droppings on the floor and a bowl believed to contain unprocessed birds nest, they could not find any nests or swiflets inside the building.

The man, who declined to be named, said his boss stopped the swiftlet nest business three years ago.

“He has renovated the units and is waiting for any interested party to rent the three shophouses,” he said.

His boss, known only as Yeoh, arrived minutes after the enforcement team left and was heard asking his employee why the enforcement personnel had to enter his premises like thieves.

When he saw a photographer taking photos of swiflet droppings inside the building, Yeoh lost his temper and pulled the photographer’s backpack before chasing the newsmen away.

The enforcement team later proceeded to a double-storey shophouse on Lorong Tok Aka where twittering sounds from speakers used to attract the swiftlets could be heard clearly.

They used a chainsaw to cut open the door lock after several calls went unanswered.

They left a RM250 compound notice on the door after seizing speakers from the unit and taking down partitions used for swiftlet nest farming.

MPPP had divided swiftlet nest farms in the city into four categories and the enforcement action yesterday was the start of the operations against 32 sites which had been illegally converted into such farms.

Penang Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said these farms had been issued with notices to stop operations last year.

“We have earlier acted against 11 new illegal swiftlet farming operators.

“The third category are 50 operators who applied for licences but did not get approval while 28 operators who came under the fourth category have received temporary licences,” he said.

The National Council for Local Government had decided on Sept 2 last year that new swiftlet nest farms would not be allowed at heritage sites in Penang and Malacca while existing ones would have to clear out in three years.

Chow said the state would not wait until the grace period ends before taking action.

Good swiftlet farming All!

舊的獨立洋房被改成燕屋農場

GS-9（万星）外聲吸引的燕子。

噴洒Love Potion來排斥水泥和其他的氣味。

板條系統和高音揚聲器的安排。

簡單的伴音系统設定。

經過了几個月的建築工程之後，一座老的獨立洋房最後被轉換成燕屋農場，並且開始了它的聲音。 它是一個潮濕的雨天，朝向這座燕屋農場的路泥濘的，幸好我是駕駛4x4的車。

過去的幾個星期前，天氣是炎熱和乾燥的。 它不是好的时间來開通聲音。 我問了燕屋主是否有一個特殊的日期來開聲音。 許多人相信開聲音的日子必須是在一個好的日子，因為它就好像是開新的事務一樣。 對于相信風水的人，開聲音的時間和日期是非常重要的。

燕子已經到過這的燕屋農場了，在伴音系统還沒有准备好之前。 我告诉了燕屋主這是的一個好的預效。 通常，如果燕子飛入一間再建设中或幾乎完成的燕屋農場，這表示它們不害怕，並且它們喜歡這間燕屋農場。

在準備開聲音的那天，在我檢查了所有設備特别是伴音系统保證它是好的情況，還有跟定調整是對。 調整新的燕屋農場的伴音系统和舊的燕屋農場是不同的。 新的燕屋農場和舊的燕屋農場的内部环境是完全不同的，瞭解這些我們就可以相應地調整伴音系统，同時，我們要充分的使用吸引燕子的作用。

這是一座老的獨立洋房，我選擇了轉換它成燕屋農場而不是再修造一座新的獨立燕屋農場在那裏。 明显地，通过轉換比建立新的燕屋農場好，因為洋房的結構已經存在在那裏有很長的时间了，對以來尋找食物的燕子對它的存在已經習慣了。

換句話來説，就好像間接地打開一個新的入口孔讓燕子进來。 通过這樣做，它明显地減少了適應时间。 如果一個新的獨立燕屋農場被修造，那么燕子將需要很長的时间來適應。 所以，當我們首先參觀了這個區域時，我勸告燕屋主轉換老的獨立洋房成燕屋農場，而不是修造一個新的3層樓燕屋農場。 此外，它在建筑费也節省了很多。 當建立燕屋農場时，我們必須考慮到所有的角度，從节省成本到好的燕屋農場設計。

在伴音系统被設定和調整了之後，Love Potion被噴洒在板條和入口孔之下的所有牆壁上。 這是為了排斥所有燕子不喜歡的味道在燕屋農場。 有在几個月的建築期間，燕屋農場裏被積累了的許多燕子不喜歡味道。 比如，水泥的氣味、工人的体味、PVC管道系統和膠粘劑的氣味， 機器排放出來的碳味道等等。 所有這些將影響燕屋農場。 越長時間這些味道保留在燕屋農場，燕子要停留和做窩的時間就越長。 通过我們的經驗，我們用Love Potion來排斥所有這些味道，而且它的結果是很好的，因此，我們很少使用燕子屎好像一般人一樣。

當噴洒Love Potion时，少量的燕子已經飛进入燕屋農場了。 我要求工人「最好趕快噴，我們必須快速地離開這裡，因爲燕子已經開始飛入了」。 燕子似乎很喜歡Love Potion的味道。

在完成了所有的東西，我們趕快鎖上了門，並且我們從外面觀察，有很多燕子已經盤旋在六角高音揚聲器上，並且有少數的燕子沒有懷疑的进入了燕屋農場。 它是很順利的像沒有恐懼和障礙的進入入口孔的。 燕子並沒有停留在入口孔，它們只是潛入的。

我很滿意地看到燕子的表現和它們對新燕屋農場的反應。 因此，結論是「燕子进入了燕屋農場啦 「。對所有新的燕屋農場，那是第一的目的和最重要的。

可悲的是，看過和聽見過有許多新被修造的燕屋農場，在開聲了几個星期或几個月之後，那裡仍然還是沒有一只燕子飛进入燕屋農場。 `那怎麼可能？」

那些有這個問題的燕屋農場可以打電話給我或給我發電子郵件。 我也許會給您一些诀窍!

開了聲音之後，我在那裡花了好幾個小時的時間來进一步的觀察。 有小群的燕子進進出出的。 在一個不是頭等燕子區域的地點，我不會期待太多。 只要燕子有來玩和进入燕屋農場了，我是已經很滿意了。 因為，我看過許多失敗的燕屋農場，燕子幾乎不想要在入口孔或燕屋農場的附近。 這是很普通的，並且，許多燕屋農場有面對這樣的問題，而卻，燕屋主根本無法推测它的原因什是麼。

有許多原因的。它可能是聲音、燕屋農場的芳香、設計有关，入口孔的大小和安置等等........

因此，如果所有這些都是對的，那您就不因該有這樣的憂慮了。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

An Old Bungalow turns into Swiftlet Farm

Birds attracted by the Gs-9 Ext sound.

Spraying Love Potion to repel cement smell and other odors.

The Planking system and Tweeters arrangement.

Simple set up of sound system.

After couple of months of construction finally an old bungalow was converted to a Swiftlet farm and started its sound. It was a rainy day the road to this Bh is muddy luckily I was driving a 4x4.

For the past few weeks before, the weather was hot and dry. It wasn’t the right time to switch on the sound. I asked the owner does he have a particular date to switch on the sound. As many believe switching on the sound has to be on a good date because it is like opening a new business. For those who believe in Feng Shui the time and the date to switch on the sound is very important.

Before this the birds have been visiting this Bh even though the sound system was not ready. I told the owner this is a good sign. Often if birds fly into Bh that is under construction or almost completed it shows that they are not afraid and they like the Bh.

On the day of preparation to switch on the sound I checked all equipments especially the sound systems making sure it is running well and the tuning is right. The tuning of the sound system of New Bh and Old Bh are different. The internal environment of new Bh and old Bh is totally different by understand this we could adjust the sound system accordingly to what we wanted to maximize the effect of attracting birds.

This is an old bungalow, I have chosen to convert it into a Bh rather than building a new standalone at the same area. Obviously by converting it would be better than building a new Bh because structurally the bungalow is already existed for long time and birds that come foray for food have got used to its existent.

So indirectly it is just like opening a new hole for the birds to come in. By doing such it has reduced the adaptation time significantly. If a new standalone were to be built then it would take a longer time for the birds to adapt to it. Therefore when we first visited this area I advise the owner to convert the old bungalow to a Bh instead of building a new 3 storey one. Furthermore it also saves in cost of construction. When building a Bh we have to take consideration and have to look into all angles from cost saving to good farm design.

After the sound system has been set-up and tuned Love Potion was sprayed on all walls below the nesting planks and entrance hole. This is to repel all unfavorable smells in the Bh. There are many unfavorable odors that have been accumulated in the Bh during months of construction. To name few, cement smell, workers’ body odors, Pvc piping and adhesive smells, machineries carbons emission etc. All these would affect the Bh. The longer these smells remain in the Bh the longer it takes for birds to stay and make nests. Thru our experiences we have been using Love Potion to repel all these odors and it works very well therefore we seldom use birds shit like many do.

While spraying the Love Potion few birds fly into the Bh. I ask the worker “better spray fast we have to get out the birds are flying in”. The birds seem to like the smell of Love potion.

After all have done we locked the door and we observe from outside there were birds circling at the Hexagonal tweeter and few without much effort glided into the Bh. It was so smooth like without fear and obstacles going thru the Entrance hole. The birds were not stopping at the entrance hole they just dived in.

I am satisfied to see the birds behaved and their responses towards the new Bh. So the conclusion “The Birds had entered the Bh “. That was the first objective and most important to all new Bhs.

Yet it is sad to see and hear that there are many newly built Bhs after switching on its sound for weeks or months and yet there is not a single bird flying into the Bh. ‘ How could this be?”

Those Bhs have this problem may call me or email me. I might give you some tips!

I spent few hours there after the sound started and observe further. There were groups of birds that come and go. For such location which is not a Prime Birds Zone I won’t expect much. As long the birds come and play and entered the Bh I am satisfied. As I have seen many failed Bhs, birds hardly want to get near the entrance hole or the bh at all. This is common and many Bhs are facing such problem and the owners can’t figure it out what were the reasons behind it.

There are many reason for this..it could be related to sound, aroma, design of the Bh, size and placement of entrance hole,etc........

So if you have got all these right then you shouldn't be worry about the the Bh.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

*The above Bh is using GS-9 (External sound) and Hypnotic (Internal Sound)*

肩并肩在一起

如果您可以照顾您的燕屋農場，或者每个下午，任您可愿您可以一边躺在吊床上饮用一杯咖啡，一边觀看燕子飞入燕屋農場在黃昏时刻，不會是更美妙吗？ 实际上，您可以每天那样做，如果您有一间燕屋農場好像照片的一样。

我想這就是多数人想要的东西。 一个夢想的家和一个夢想的燕屋農場肩並肩在一起。 您不必擔心竊賊。

建立一個獨立的燕屋農場深深在種植園裡面并不是容易處理的。 我們談論了像貓頭鷹、蝙蝠、壁虎等等的掠食性動物。竊賊呢？維護呢？ 通常，當它是太遠的时候，当您必須驾驶上百km来看看您的燕屋農場时，一切的障礙會使您疲乏，並且最終您會放弃处理燕屋農場。

首先，當敦促和興趣还是很高的时候。 一个人会甚至去到山的峰頂，就只为了瞥見那几分钟的时刻来看看那回归的燕子。 几个月之后，几年之后，最終，當他們的興趣消失，他们将開始抱怨他們的家和燕屋農場之间的距離。

除非他们的燕屋農場有非常好的表现，每個月都可以有十几kg的燕窝，要不然燕屋主会很勉强，當他的妻子问到「您什么时候会去檢查我们的燕屋農場(我們的投資)时 ？ 不需要那么經常檢查啦，何况只有2个窝」。

有一个很远的燕屋農場，就好像有一个失败的燕屋農場一样。 因为您会很勉强的去參觀它。 您不可能好像10分鐘车程一样的喜欢参观他們。

因此，當您選擇燕屋農場的地點时，您必须考慮到一切從燕子群，到离开您居住的地方有多远。 车程是一件很累的事，除非您是充分地退休了並且喜欢旅行。

其中一個例子是我的朋友的燕屋農場。 他住在巴生，但是他有2间燕屋農場在吉兰丹。 他每3個星期去那裡一次。 它是一個8個月的燕屋農場。 现在他每一个月去一次。 他现在开始对我抱怨它是非常累的。

他告訴我，有一次，当參觀完他吉兰丹的燕屋農場回來之后。 他的鄰居打了个电话给他並且說」李先生，我能在晚上看到從您的燕屋農場通风孔有光」。

我的朋友當他離開的时候忘記了关掉在底层上的灯。 现在他必須驾车回到吉兰丹去关灯。

他沒有任何的親戚或他可以信任的人在那裡，让他可以交托钥匙的人。

因此，當您想要建立燕屋農場时，请想清楚。 它的地點和距離您住的地方也是很重要的。 有一个燕屋農場在一個好的地點，但是您却无法照顾它是无用的。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

Side By Side

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could attend to your swiftelt farm whenever you wish or every evening having a cup of coffee lying down in a hammock and watching the birds flying into the entrance at dusk? In fact you could do that every day if you have a Bh like the picture above.

I guess this is what most people wanted. A dream home and a dream Bh side by side. You don’t have to worry about thief.

Building a standalone Bh deep inside plantation area is not easy to manage. We have talked about predators like Owl, bat, tokek, etc. What about thief? What about maintenance? Often when it’s too far away, where you have to drive few hundred km to visit your bh the hassle would tired you out and eventually you would give up maintaining the Bh.

At the beginning when the urge and the interest was still high. One will even travel to the peak of a mountain just to have few minutes of glimpse of birds returning home. Thereafter few month, few years, eventually when the interest dies they will start to complain about the distance between their houses and Bhs.

Useless the Bh performed extremely well having ten of kg of nests per month otherwise the owner would drag his feet every time when his wife asks “When are you going to check or Bh (our investment)? No need to check so often lah anyway only got 2 nests.”

Having a Bh located far away is almost equivalent to having a failed farm. Because you really drag your feet to visit it. You can’t care for them as often as those that just need 10 minutes drive.

So when you choose a Bh location make sure you considerate everything from birds populated area to distance from where you live. Travelling is a taxing thing unless you are fully retired and enjoy travelling.

One of the examples was a Bh of a friend of mine. He lives in Klang and he has 2 Bhs in Kelantan. He travels there once every 3 weeks. It is an 8 months old farm. Now he travels once every month. He complained to me it was very taxing.

He told me there was one incident after coming back from Bh visiting at Kelantan. His neighbor called him up and said” Mr. Lee, I can see light from your Bh ventilation hole at night”.

My friend forgotten to switch off the light on the ground floor when he leaves. So now he has to drive all the way back to Kelantan to switch off the light.

He doesn’t have relatives there or someone he could trust to hold the Bh’s keys for him.

So when you want to build a Bh think thoroughly. The Location and the distance you live are important. No point of having a Bh in a Good location but you are unable to attend to it.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
