把一個好的燕屋農場該成白老鼠研究中心

為什麼有許多失敗的燕屋農場(85%是失敗的) ？ 大部分，因為燕屋主認為他們知道一切。

從新手了解非常基本的信息，只是有幾個月的經驗，從未看過其他的燕屋農場除了一兩閒屬於他們朋友或親戚的燕屋農場之外。 之後他們開始認為他們知道了所有的東西和他們的想法是根本解决法對所有的問題，並且它是100%可以行的通。

换句话说，他們可以在任何一個地方修建一個成功的燕屋農場，不管它的環境、技巧、知識等等並且期待他們可以在一年的時間笑著走進銀行。

那是否是現實或者只是一個夢？ 對於那些在這個行業太久的人，智術和有經驗的那些人不會称它為夢想，他們称它為白日夢。

有自信是好的，但是在許多情況下他們是太過有自信但是卻沒有方向。 當一個人是太過有自信的時候，他們的腦子裏想到的任何想法他們都认為可以行的通。

他們將使用各種各樣的東西從他們朋友得到的消息，論壇等等在他們的燕屋農場裏，沒有發覺它是否行的通或它將導致傷害在他們的燕屋農場。 我不可能責備他們因爲他們沒有早期的證據或经验來相比。 他們認爲他們所知道的都是對的。 之后才发现他們所知道的一切並不是對的，到現在它已經太遲了和损害經常造成了。

他們將嘗試所有的想法在他們的燕屋農場裏 (他們认為可以行的通的)的事「沒有想到他們在把他們的燕屋農場成爲了試驗品研究中心（白老鼠）。

他們自己的信仰和確信在他們的燕屋農場玩把戲。

我最近遇到其中一個案件是有一個好開始的燕屋農場。 它已經開始有幾個燕窩在2個月的操作下，也有大量的燕子屎。 它打敗了在那個區域附近同時開始的所有燕屋農場。

它不位于一個主区，但是有了這样的結果和那麽多的燕子屎，它可以達到50或更多的燕窩在第一年的時間。 雖然這個數目並不是很理想，但是在這樣的地區我們還可以有什麽要求？

它們是有許多的燕子屎，並且每個月都在增加。 它是一個很好的預傚。 燕屋主是很興奮的而且也等不及要看他的燕屋農場。 如果可以的話，他想要每天到看它。 我想他有很多的想法他認為在他的燕屋農場會行的通的並且想要使用它們，沒有想到他的許多想法可以導致他的投資变成試驗品中心。 看到這樣好的燕屋農場被燕屋主糟蹋而他自己是不知道的，是那麽的痛苦的。

當那燕屋農場被建築时的幾個月我是一直和他在一起的。 我知道他對燕屋農場有多少的了解。 對於燕屋農場的知識在1到10的標準，我會給他0.1。 有时后它會傷到人的心當知道了真相之後，但是這就是人如何可以學會的時間。 如果我們不知道我們的弱點那么我們又如何可以學會和改善呢？ 但是他認為他是在10標準。

他會時常煩我去參觀他的燕屋農場。 他會很熱心地问我的計劃是什麽。 我會做什麼？ 我意欲什麼？ 等等。 我告訴了他我不會意欲，並且我也不會假定。 在我決定怎样做之前，我必須首先看燕屋農場的內部。 由于燕屋農場的內部會表明下一個的计划。 他經常問我。誰和誰做了這些，並且誰也做了什麽…我們是否應該他跟隨他們。 我的回復總是由您決定。

他經常有一些想法出來他認為是燕子所要的。 他曾经告訴我，James燕子比較喜歡塑膠假窩而不是保利龍假窩。 我问他您怎麼知道。 您做了研究，或者燕子告诉您或者您在那裏讀到的資料？ 他的回復是，沒有James這只是我認為而已。

之前他經常幾乎每隔一個星期打電話給我和问我什么时候可以參觀他的燕屋農場，但是在過去的幾個月他沒有打電話給我了。 出于好奇我在上星期打電話給他，並且發現他把他很有潛力的燕屋農場变成了試驗品研究中心。

在2個月的操作之后和有好結果的他进入了燕屋農場，並且從新的安裝一切從音樂系统到噴霧機，就是根据他認為「燕子所需要的」。

嗨K先生，您好嗎？ 有一陣子未收到你的來電。 您的燕屋農場好嗎 ？

James，不好沒有什麽改善在那好的2個月期間之後。

K先生，那是不可能的。 您的燕屋農場應該現在有至少30個或者更多的燕窩。 有很多的燕子屎。 那是從小燕子的。 怎麼可能沒有燕窩的增加。 一定有某些事出了問題。

James，我認為噴霧機是太大聲了。 我認為高音揚聲器和六角高音揚聲器的位置是不错的。 我認為燕子更喜歡塑膠假窩而不是喜歡保利龍假窩。

並且「我認為這樣，我認為那樣」不停的說下去.......

K先生，您怎麼知道噴霧機是太大聲的和燕子不喜歡？ 它是不是有可能裡面壞了？

噢，James，我可以在樓下的控制室聽見它們。

這樣的回復使我抓了我的腦袋和很好奇的他怎麼可能從控制室聽見噴霧機的聲音。 然后我才發現一定有可疑的事。 如果他可以在控制室聽見噴霧機那么就是説内部聲音是不够大聲或者根本沒有內部聲音。

知道他的個性我意识到他一定在他的燕屋農場做了某些事。 我再問了他，您在您的燕屋農場做了什麽K先生 ？ 我發現他在他的燕屋農場嘗試了他的想法。

他関掉了噴霧機，因為他聽到成功的燕屋農場會把內部的聲音関掉，當燕屋農場到達了某些公斤的燕窩时。 那是為有膨大燕子人口的燕屋農場而不是新的燕屋農場。 好傢伙!

他調整了我之前為他設置了的伴音系统等等，如果您可以想像到。 他要減低六角高音揚聲器的高度根据他認為正确的想法。 他解釋它是因為燕子飞行入他的燕屋農場的方式，但是它是完全錯誤的解釋。 他根本不可能區別Apus-apus和A.Fuciphangus之間的飛行樣式，他又怎麼可能解釋它們的飛行行為。 他想要做很多我不可能想像的事情，那將導致傷害到他的燕屋農場。

他幾乎每個星期进入他的燕屋農場試驗他的所認爲可使用的想法。

他真正地糟蹋了他自己的燕屋農場。 那是非常的可悲看到好的燕屋農場被孽待。 我還沒有參觀他的燕屋農場，但是我想那裡是還有許多事情為被發現的。 我認為我不會发现更多，因為我不打算再參觀這個燕屋農場。

我告訴他有許多的燕屋農場幾乎不可以達到10個燕窩在3個月的時間。 您達到了它，但是您卻把它驱走。

我希望讀到這篇文章的那些人將慎重考虑，每當他們認為他們的想法是可使用的時候。

大家有的好燕屋農場!

Turning a Good Swiftlet Farm into A Guine Pig Research Center

Why there are so many failed Swiftlet farms (85% failed)? Partly because the Bh’s owners think that they know all.

From fresh with very basic information, with just few months of experience and had never seen other Bh except 1 or 2 Bhs that belong to their friends or relatives. After that they start to think they know all and their ideas are the ultimate solution to all problems and it is 100% workable.

In other words they could build a successful farm anywhere immaterial of the environment, skill, knowledge, etc and expected that they would be laughing to the bank in a year time.

Is that realistic or just a dream? To those who had been long enough in this industry, skillful and had experiences wouldn’t call it a dream, they call it Day Dreaming.

Confident is good but in many cases they are over confident with no direction. When one is over confident whatever ideas that come into their minds they consider it workable.

They would apply all sorts of things they have heard from friends, forum, etc into their Bhs without finding whether it would work or it would harm their farms. I can’t blame them they have no previous data or experience to compare with. All they knew is what they think is right. Later to find out what THEY KNEW IS NOT RIGHT by this time it is already too late and often damages have been done.

They would try all sort of things in their Bhs (the Ideas they consider workable) “without realizing that they are turning their Swiftlet Farms in a Guinea Pig research center.

Their own belief and confident are playing tricks on them.

One of the cases I encountered lately was a Bh that has a good start. It has few nests in 2 months after operation with plenty of birds dropping spots. It beats all the Bhs which started at the same time around that area.

It was not located in a prime area but with such results and based on the dropping spots it would hit at least 50 nests or more in the first year. Though this figure is not impressive but for such located what more could we ask for?

They were many spots of birds’ shits and it increases every month. It shows good sign. The owner is exited he can’t wait to see his bh. If he could he wants to see it every day. I guess he had many ideas he thinks that would work and wanted to apply them in his bh without knowing that he is turning his investment into a Guinea Pig Research Center. It is painful to see such good Bh been abused by the owner without himself realizing it.

I have been with him during the construction of his farm which takes few months. I know how well he knows about Swiftlet farming. In term of knowledge in Swiftlet farming from the scale of 10, I would give him 0.1. Sometimes it hurts to know the truth and this is how a person would learn. If we didn't know our weakness then how could we learn? But for him he thinks he is at the 10 of the scale.

He has been pestering me to visit his Bh. He would enthusiastically ask what my plan is. What I am going to do? What I intended to do? And so on. I told him I can’t intend and I don’t presume. I have to see the internal of the Bh first before I decide what to do. Because the internal of the bh would indicates the next course of action. He often ask me..Who and who did this and who did that…and should he follows them. My reply is always up to you.

He often comes out with ideas which he thinks that it is what the bird wants. There were once he told me, James Birds prefer Plastic fake nests than Styrofoam nest. I asked him how you know that. Have you done a research, or the bird tell you, or you read it somewhere? His reply was, no James it is just what I think.

He used to call me often almost every other week and ask when I could visit his Bh but for the past few months he didn’t call me. Out of curiosity I called him last week after 5 months and discovered he has turned his very potential Bh into a Guinea Pig Research Centre.

After 2 months of operation with good result he went into the Bh and restore everything from sound system to

Humidifier based on what he thinks “the birds want”.

Hi Mr.K, how have you been? Haven’t heard from you for a while. How is your Bh?

James, not good no improvement after that good 2 months period.

Mr.K , that can’t be. Your Bh should have at least 30 nests or more by now. There are many spots of droppings. There are from young birds. How could there be no increase in nests. There might be something wrong somewhere.

James, I think the Humidifier is too loud. I think the tweeters and the Hexagonal position is not right. I think the birds don’t like Styrofoam fake nest they prefer Plastic Fake nests.

And the “I think this, I think that” goes on and on…….

Mr.K how do you know the Humidifier is loud and the Birds don’t like it? Could it be the Motor inside damaged?

Oh James, I could hear them from down stair in the control room.

With such reply I scratched my head and wonder how he could hear the Humidifier sound from the control room. Then I realized there must be something fishy. If he could hear the Humidifier in the control room then it means the Internals sound is not loud enough or there is no internal sound at all.

By knowing his character I realized that he must have done something to his Bh. I prompted him, what did you do to your Bh Mr.K? I discovered he had tried his ideas in his Bh.

He reduced the volume of the internal sound because he heard that successful Bhs switched off their Internal sounds when they reach certain Kg of nests. That is for Bhs that have huge population not for new Bhs. DUDE!

After reducing the internal sound volume he realised that he could hear the sound of the Humidifier because of this he then switched off the Humidifiers. After switching off the Humidifier he realised not many birds are flying in and so on. He discovered one link to another eventually he almost shut down everything in the Bh.

He tuned the sound system which I had set at the beginning and so on if you can imagine. He wanted to reduce the height of the Hexagonal based on what he thinks is right. He explained, it is because the way the birds fly into his farm but it was totally wrong interpretation. He can’t even distinguish the flying pattern between Apus-apus and A.Fuciphangus then how could he interpret their flying behaviors. He wanted to do many things that I can’t imagine that could harm the Bh.

He went into his Bh almost every week to try out his so call workable Ideas.

He really trashed his own Bh. It is very sad to see how a good Bh been abused. I have yet to visit his Bh but I anticipated there are more things to be discovered. I think I won’t be able to find out more as I don’t intend to visit this Bh again.

I told him there are many Bhs out there that hardly could achieve 10 nests in 3 months. You have it and you chased them away.

I hope those who read this would think twice whenever they think their ideas are workable.

Good Swiftlet farming All.

在越南山洞的白燕窩

這些照片是由從越南的一個朋友給我的。 在山洞裏美麗白色的燕窩。

他從我的部落格認識了我而我們也成為了好朋友。 他在胡志明市幫人修建燕屋農場並且也管理專賣可食燕窩的商店。

他常常到K.L，每當他來KL的時候，我們總是會見面並且談論關於越南的燕屋農場和如何可以做到最好。

從他提供的信息，並且通过我們的討論，燕屋農場在越南与其他東南亞國家是很不同的，雖然也有一些相似性。

對於燕子的行為詳細的理解(它們如何飛行)在燕屋農場設計將有很大的幫助。 我給了他的忠告，他嘗試了2種类型的設計包括Dk（狗洞）和開天井在他的燕屋農場。 並且發現它们其中一個勝過另外一個。

我称它為地方化，因為越南是在一個不同的地区。 一些可能在其他國家可以運用的設計，在越南可能行不通，除非被修改。建筑的结构和物質用途也大大不同，因爲它的次級熱帶天氣，在年尾有大量的雨季和更加冷的天氣。

在年底期間，越南的北部燕子可以適應在20度之下的天氣。 對環境和地区有了這樣的理解，它可以帮助我們設計出一個好和適合並且也很特殊的领域來。 如果我們想要有一個成功的燕屋農場，選擇它的入口、它的大小、設備用途等等也必須是正确的类型，因爲它是很重要的。

雖然有許多燕子在越南，但是不是所有的燕屋農場都是成功的。 只有那些被設計來容納燕子需要的燕屋農場才可以成功。

享受照片。

Cave White Nests in Vietnam

.

.

.

..

.

These pictures were given by a friend from Vietnam. Beautiful White Nests in Cave.

He got to know me from my Blog and later we become good friend. He builds Swiftlet farm for people and runs a Shop selling Edible Bird Nests in Ho Chi Minh City.

He travels frequently to K.L, whenever he is in town we would meet up and discuss about Swiftlet farming and how to do it best in Vietnam. .

From the information he provides and thru our discussion, Swiftlet farming in Vietnam is different from other South East Asia countries though there are some similarities.

In depth understanding of the birds’ behavior (how they fly) would help in Bh designs. With my advice, he had tried 2 types of design which consist of Dk and Open Roof for his Bhs. And discovered one of them outperforms the other.

I call it localization because Vietnam is in a different geographical area. Bh designs that could be use in other countries may not work in Vietnam unless it has been modified.Building structure and material use are different too due to its sub tropical weather which has heavy rain and cooler towards the end of the year.

In the Northern of Vietnam Swiftlets are adapted to temperature below 20C during year end. With such understanding of the environment and geographical area it helps us to come out with a good design that suit a particular area. Choosing the right type of Entrance, its size, the equipments use, etc is vital if we want to have a successful Swiftlet farm.

Though there are many birds in Vietnam but not all Swiftlet farms there are successful. Only those Bhs that had been designed to accommodate what birds’ wants would make it.

Enjoy the pictures.

秘密的在燕屋農場裏使用LoVe Potion

嗨James，您可以今天送**瓶的Love Potion給我嗎？ 我是趕緊要的，這個週末我收穫之後會用到的。

嗨N先生，那麽快就要收穫啦… ？您的燕屋農場是怎麼啦？您現在有多少個窩？

James…. 差不多有100+多個。 您認為1年的時間有100+多個窩是好嗎？

N先生，這是不錯的 .....。 並非許多燕屋農場可以達到這個結果。

這就是我讀者問的問題，昨天當我驾車到KKB的時候。

大家是否還记得我寫過一篇文章關於一位燕屋主噴洒Love Potion在入口孔外面的牆壁，因為他不可能得到進入他的燕屋農場？ 我差不多一年寫這篇文章前。

燕屋農場位于Jerantut，Pahang在一排商店的單位。那裡大多數的商店被轉換成燕屋農場。 它是由一位當地知名的顧問修造的。 实际上，這位顧問修造了哪裏所有的燕屋農場。

這位燕屋主不可以進入他的燕屋農場，因為顧問握著鎖匙。他只可以一個月一次與他的顧問進入他的燕屋農場，當顧問做定期的參觀时后。 他与顧問談過芳香的用法在燕屋農場，但是顧問不肯讓他使用它。 他覺得顧問不相信芳香。

在几個月以後，看到他的燕屋農場沒有什麽改善，他决定秘密地使用芳香，不要讓他的顧問知道。 他也不想得罪他的顧問。

N先生，上述的燕屋主從我購買了幾瓶的Love Potion，然後就在入口孔外面的牆壁上秘密地噴洒了在。

幾個星期之後他打電話給我，James有許多燕子來了和在入口孔邊玩。 他是很高興的關於這個結果，也交代了他如何无法在燕屋農場内用Love Potin除了在燕屋農場的外面。

我勸告他，如果他要燕子的人口增長他必须找方法來在內部使用。 因此，他想出了一個方法。 每當顧問為例行检查來。N先生一定建議為他提供好的午餐在Jerantut最著名的淡水鱼餐館。 N先生將招呼他並且要他的夥伴噴洒和倒Love Potion入噴霧器。

N先生承認這就是他的方法來對他的顧問。 通常顧問會11早上进來，在短短的檢查之後他將提供他午餐。N先生的夥伴會停留在燕屋農場假裝想要學會更多關於燕屋農場內部的他將在這個時候使用Love Potion。

我很惊奇的聽到這個。 很好奇得我問了N先生。 當他吃了午餐之後，回到燕屋農場顧問不會注意到那氣味嗎？ 沒有，James，在午餐之後他不會再去在燕屋農場裡面。 他只會把燕屋農場関起來，因為他還有許多的燕屋農場要檢查。

狡猾的傢伙! ..........

我問了N先生，那麽您一直到在秘密地使用Love Potion 啦？

他很高興的笑了並且回答。

James，甚而我的顧問也是很迷茫的。 他不瞭解在他修造了同一排的商店燕屋農場，為什麼只有我的燕屋農場有超过100個窩。

這就是由N先生親口說的。 我聽到這樣簡直就是無話可説。 他剛從顧問那裏拿到了鑰匙，並且在這個週末做收穫。 我想他是等不及來收穫他的燕窩，所以他迫切的需要Love Potion。

我真的不敢相信這會發生。 無論如何，我是為他非常的感到高兴並且也有了一個好笑。

N先生，祝您有的好燕屋農場，我為您不死的精神向您致敬，保證您的燕屋農場可以得到Love Potion每個月的需要。

Secretly Use LoVe Potion in Swiftlet Farm

Hi James, could you send ** bottles of Love Potion by today? I need it urgently as I need to harvest the nests this weekend.

Hi Mr. N…so fast harvesting already? How is your farm? How many nest you have now?

James…. about 100+. Do you think 100+ nests in 1 year is good?

Yes Mr.Ng….. that is not bad. Not many Bhs could achieve this.

This what my reader asked while I was driving to KKB yesterday.

Do you still remember an article I wrote about a Swiftlet farm’s owner who sprayed Love Potion at the outside walls of the entrance hole because he couldn’t get access to his farm? I posted the article about a year ago.

The Bh is located in Jerantut, Pahang at a roll of shop lot. Most of the shops there had been converted into Swiftlet farm. It was built by a well known local consultant. Practically this consultant had built all the Bhs there.

The BH’s owner couldn’t get access to his Bh because the consultant is holding the keys. He could only visit his Bh with the consultant once a month when the consultant does a routine visit. He has spoken to the consultant about Aroma usage in Bh but the consultant reluctant to allow him to use it. Sighted he doesn’t believe in Aroma.

With no improvement to his BH after couple of months he decided to use Aroma secretly without wanting the consultant to know. He wouldn’t want to offence the consultant.

Mr.N, the Owner of the above Bh bought few bottles of Love Potion from me and secretly sprayed it onto the exterior wall next to the entrance hole.

Few weeks later he calls me, James many birds came and play at the entrance hole. He was so happy about the result and confessed that he is unable to use Love Potion in the Bh other then the exterior of the farm.

I advised him if he wants the population to grow he must find a way to use them internally. So he came out with a trick. Whenever the consultant comes for a routine check .Mr. N would suggest and offer him a good lunch at the best restaurant in Jerantut which is famous for fresh water fish. Mr.N would keep him occupied and ask his partner to spray and pour Love potion into the Humidifier.

Mr.N confessed to me this is what he did. Usually the consultant would come in at 11am and after a short inspection he would offer him lunch. Mr.N’s partner would stay back in the farm pretending that he wants to learn more about the internal of the farm this is how he could use Love Potion in the Bh.

I was surprised to hear this. Out of curiosity I asked Mr.N. Wouldn’t the consultant notice the smell when he comes back from lunch?

No James, after lunch he won’t go inside the Bh anymore. He would just lock up the farm and leave as he has many farms to check.

What a trick man! ……….

I asked Mr.N , so all the while you have been using Love Potion secretly lah?

He laughed with joy and replied.

James, even my consultant is confused. He couldn’t understand why all the BHs he had built at the same roll of shops only mine has more than 100 nests.

This is what came out from Mr.N’s mouth. I was speechless to hear that. He had just collected the keys from the consultant and would be doing harvesting this weekend. I guess he can’t wait to harvest the nests that is why he needs LP urgently.

I couldn’t believe this is happening. Anyway I am dam happy for him and had a good laugh.

Good Swiftlet farming Mr.N and I salute you for your undying effort of making sure your Swiftlet farm get the monthly dose of Love potion.

Good Swiftlet farming ALL!

燕子就是很勉強的要飛近入口洞(天井式)

「James, 燕子就是不飞行进入我的燕屋農場。 它們只是在我的六角高音揚聲器之上盤旋，但是所有的燕子就是飛行进入我鄰居的燕屋農場。 我應該怎么办?」 從Johor的L先生哭訴。

他的燕屋農場是被建立在一個非常成功的燕屋農場旁邊，一個2層樓的商店。 每一次當他開了六角高音揚聲器的聲音时有許多燕子來玩，但是所有的燕子就进入他鄰居的燕屋農場。 這個情況使L先生很擔心。

他告訴我他的燕屋農場沒有問題，所有似乎是完善的，但是他就是無法推测為什麼燕子就是很勉強的進入口孔附近。

我告訴他我不可能說任何東西，直到我看到燕屋農場爲止。 有許多事在燕屋農場是許多燕屋主沒有注意到的。 它需要經驗和技能來推测實際上到底發生了什麼出錯。

他的燕屋農場是一個開放屋頂(OR)類型，但是他鄰居的燕屋農場是狗洞(DK)類型。 很明顯他鄰居的燕屋農場有高的好處。 但是高度不是吸引燕子进入燕屋農場的唯一的关键。 也有其他因素。

在這個种情况下在看了他的燕屋農場之后。 很明顯是L先生犯了错误但卻沒有注意到它。

高音揚聲器的位置不應該在上面，就好像在我早先的文章上提及的。 為于這個門口類型高音揚聲器應該安置在兩方(左右邊)。 從上面的2-3尺下。 取决門的高度。

有高音揚聲器在門的上面是不適當的。 所以L先生抱怨沒有燕子飛入入口孔的附近。 其次，90度的第2入口在造窩区域的右边不是好印象深刻的。 我並不厚待這樣的設計。

雖然看起來高音揚聲器面對天空似乎是完美的，但是燕子並不是這麽想。 對于我們它可能看起來好看，但是它是比45度更多往天空的。 我也不太認同L先生使用的外在高音揚聲器的种类。 他應該使用了壓力類型而不是磁性類型的高音揚聲器。 磁性類型的高音揚聲器不能导致高音调发声就好象壓力類型的高音揚聲器一樣。 它們不是為高音调使用而设计的。

使用磁性類型的高音揚聲器，唧啾叫的聲音高音會调失。 所以被錄下來的低音才可以被聽見。 (80% 的燕子聲音內容是高音调的) 。

入口孔是太小的。 我想大多数的我們已經知道入口孔的極限應該是至少12x12ft的。 我看過更小的，有的3x3ft而已。 當然它未曾吸引過很多的燕子。

L先生應該用DK設計，因爲附近的燕屋農場都是使用這個設計。 燕子適應了飛行入Dk的需要一段的時間才可以飛入天井設計，除非天井是足够大的或容易的回旋，而卻燕屋農場的設計考慮到燕子如何飛行。

這就是在入口孔附近的差錯。 我還未談論到內部。我想我還是別提及關於內部。首先讓我們先解決在入口孔的問題再继续前进向內部。

我告诉L先生燕屋農場不止是安裝高音揚聲器和板條那麽簡單，它是更加複雜的。 要修建一個好的燕屋農場您必須瞭解燕子如何飛行，它們喜歡什麼和不喜歡什麽等等。

我希望L先生可以從這里學會。

Birds Reluctant to Fly Near Entrance Hole (Open Roof)

“James No birds fly into my Bh. They just circle above my Hexagonal Tweeter and all of them fly into my neighbor’s Bh. What should I do?” cried Mr.L from Johor.

His Swiftlet farm was a 2 storey shop lot built next to a very successful Bh. Every time when he switches on the Hex sound many birds come and play but all went into his neighbor’s farm. This situation worried Mr.L.

He told me there is nothing wrong with his Bh and all seemed to be perfect but he can’t figure it out why birds are reluctant to go near his entrance hole.

I told him I can’t say much until I see the Bh myself. There are many things in the Bh that many Bh’s owner may not noticed. It needs experience and skills to figure out what actually went wrong.

His Bh is an Open Roof (OR) type and his neighbor’s Bh is a Dog Kennel (DK) type. It is obvious that his neighbor’s farm has the height advantage. But height is not the only key factor that attracted all birds into its Bh. There are other things too.

In this case after looking at his Bh. It is obvious that Mr. L had made mistakes without noticing it.

The position of the Tweeters shouldn't be at the top which I had mentioned before in my previous article. For this door entrance type the tweeters should be placed at both sides (left and right). 2-3 feet from the top. Depends on the height of the door.

Having tweeters on the top of the door is not advisable. That is why Mr.L complained no birds wanting to fly near the Bh's entrance hole. Secondly the 90dg 2nd entrance to right to the nesting area is not impressive. I won't favor such design.

Though the tweeters seem perfectly facing the sky but this is not what the birds want. For us it may looks good but it takes more than just 45dg facing towards the sky. I don't favor the type of external tweeters Mr.L is using. He should have used Piezo instead of magnetic tweeters. Magnetic tweeters could not produce high pitch sound like Piezo tweeters. There are not designed for high pitch use.

With Magnetic tweeters the high pitches of chirping sounds are lost. Therefore only sounds that are recorded in low pitches could be heard. ( 80% 0f the content of Swiftlet sounds are in high pitches )

The OR is too small. I guess most of us already knew the minimum size of the OR should be at least 12x12ft. I have seen small OR, as small as 3x3ft. Of coz it never attracted any birds.

Mr.L should have gone for the DK design since the pioneer farm is DK. Birds that have adapted to fly into Dk and making them to fly into OR would take awhile unless the OR is big enough for easy maneuver and the bh's design has taken consideration on how birds maneuver.

These are the mistakes around the entrance hole . I have yet to talk about the Internal part. I guess I shouldn't mention about the internal section. Lets solve the problems at the entrance hole first before we move on to the Internal section.

I told Mr. L it takes more than just installing tweeters, planks,etc . To build a good swiftlet farm you need to understand how the birds fly, what they like and dislike, etc.

I hope Mr.L would learn from here.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

青苔和真菌

(之前我有張貼過這張照片。 看看那有水印的板條。 雖則有高濕度這些板條任然沒有真菌。 這就是我称為的好木。)

從Krai的P先生今天早上打電話給我。他想要知道如何可以擺脫在板條上的青苔和真菌。 他的燕屋農場一年前開始了操作。 到现在， 70%的板條受到影響。 他聼了朋友的忠告，在燕屋農場裏安裝了水池，噴洒機和潤濕器。 最糟糕的是，所有的潤濕器每天開9個小時。 原因是弄濕整個燕屋農場和地板是燕子最喜歡的。

這不是新聞，實際上80% 的燕屋農場都有這個問題。 有許多方式您可以做來搶救您燕屋農場的板條。

但是我总是相信預防勝於治療。 因為後者會使您浪费許多时间、金錢和心機。 目前有不少的產品在市場上声称是有效的清除青苔和真菌的。 老實說，我沒有用過這些產品，因為我所有的燕屋農場都沒有這樣的問題。 因此，我不敢下評論，除非我有使用過。 或許您可可嘗試。

一些使用的氨粉末，用沙紙來打板條，用醋來抹板條等等….但是為什麼要做這些事呢？ 最糟糕的是，當燕子已准备停留在燕屋農場，但是被青苔感染的板條阻止了它們這樣做。 由於粉狀的表面，燕子的唾液不會黏在板條上。

我的简单解決方法就是使用好的木板，可能承受高湿度，所有青苔和真菌的問題就不會出现了。 如果您可以花費數十萬在您的燕屋農場投資我看不到為什么原因您不會想使用好的木板。 如果費用是個問題，那么它根本不能辯解。

好Meranti的價格比普通是更高3倍，也就是許多燕屋農場使用的。 (80%的燕屋農場使用普通的Meranti)。 就算這個價格我也必須有時等待几個月的時間才可以得到它們。 當談到買好木板的時候金錢就不是萬能。 曾经有個燕屋主很心急地想要為他新的燕屋農場買到這些好木板。他是願意支出更加高的價格，但是鋸木廠就是無法供應。 因爲根本沒有貨。

對於那些有很嚴重青苔和真菌問題的那些燕屋農場可以減地濕度或，如果可以，您就把板條換掉。 一個長期的解答總是更好的。 如果木板是軟的密度，並且沒有被適當地烘乾(K.D)，您就有可能在6-12個月内看到青苔在木板上。一些建議板條在太陽下的曬乾，但是這是幫不了什麽的，除非在鋸木廠K.D，如果鋸木廠有這樣的設施。

通常許多人會告诉您所有的木條都是相同的。 記住不是所有的燕屋農場都是同樣的。 如果所有的板條都是相同的，那么我們就不會有80%失敗的燕屋農場在這個行業。 它因該是100%成功。

Fungus & Mould

(I have posted this picture before. Look at the plank with water marks on it. Though with high RH the plank is not infested with fungus. This is what I call good Wood.)

Mr. P from Krai called me this morning .He wants to know how to get rid of fungus & mould on planks. His Swiftlet farm started operation about a year ago. Now, 70% of the planks are affected. He had taken advice from afriend who encouraged him to have waterpool, sprinkle and humidifiers in the Bh. Worse of all the humidifiers were switched on for 9 hour a day. Sighted wetting the whole building and floor is what the birds like most.

This is not new in fact 80% of Swiftlet farms are having this problem. There are many ways you could do to salvage the planks in your Bh.

But I always believe in prevention rather than cure. As the later you would waste lots of time, money and effort. Currently there are few products in the market that claimed to be effective on clearing the fungus and mould. Sincerely I have not used them as none of all my Swiftlet farms have such problem. So I dare not comment about it unless I have used it before. Perhaps you could try.

Some claimed that using ammonia powder, sand the plank down, wipe with vineger, etc….but why want to do all these things? Worse of all when the birds are ready to stay in the Bh but the planks infected with fungus preventing them to do so. Their saliva won’t stick to the planks because of the powdery surface.

My simple solution is to use good wood that could withstand high humidity and all fungus & mould problems won’t arise. If you could spend hundreds of thousands in your Swiftlet farm investment I see no reason why you wouldn’t want to use good wood. If cost is the matter then it doesn’t justify at all.

The price of the good wood is 3 times higher or more than the normal Meranti that many Bhs are using. (80% are using the normal Meranti). Even with this price sometimes I have to wait for months in order to get them. When it comes to buying good wood money is not king. There was once a BH’s owner desperately wanting to get these good woods for his new Bh. He was willing to pay premium price for it but the Sawmill unable to supply because there were no logs available.

For those Bhs that have serious mould & fungus problem reduce the Rh or if you could change the planks. A long term solution is always better. If the wood is of soft density and not dried (K.D) properly you could see mould on them within 6-12 months. Some suggested to dry the planks under the Sun before installation but that won’t help unless K.D at sawmills that have such facility.

Often many would tell you all wood planks are the same. Bear in mind not all Bhs are the same. If all planks are the same then we wouldn’t have 80% failed farm in this industry. It would have been 100% successful.

Good swiftlet farming all.

一年多才有40個燕窩. 現在用了Love Potion有400多個燕窩

這些照片是由沙撈越Sibu的K先生寄來的。 他是使用Love Potion和GS聲音的組合。

"嗨James，您的Love Potion和聲音是非常好的。 我的燕屋農場現在有400++個燕窩。 以前使用Love Potion之前還上不到40個燕窩。 請看照片。 谢谢。"

這些是從一名Love Potion和Gs/Hypnotic聲音的長期用戶寄來的照片。 我選擇了這些照片，因為去年K先生幾乎每天打電話給我問我的意見。 有時候一天超过3次。 您能想像。

现在他幾乎很少打電話給我。 沒有消息就是好消息。

他開始他的燕屋農場差不多有一年多的時間，但是只有40個燕窩，但是在聼了我的勸告之后，做了一些小改變在入口孔，增加了一些新的高音揚聲器，還有改變它們的位置，經常噴Love Potion，換了GS/Hypnotic聲音等等。 在一年之內的時間，他的燕屋農場竟然達到超过400個燕窩。

我為他感到高兴。

地點： Sibu，沙撈越

Love Potion的用戶： 自2010年到現在

聲音： GS 外聲和催眠内聲

獎勵： 1瓶Love Potion和GS聲音。

1 year plus 40 nests. Now 400 plus Nests with Love Potion

These Pictures were sent by Mr. K of Sibu, Sarawak. He is using the combination of Love potion & Gs/Hypnotic sound.

"Hi James, Your LP & Sound is very good. My Bh now got 400++ nests. Last time before using LP can not reach 40 nests. Please see pictures. Thank you very much."

These are the pictures from a regular user of Love Potion and Gs/Hypnotic sound. I selected these pictures because last year Mr.K called me almost everyday asking for advise. Sometimes more than 3 times a day. You can imagine that.

Now he hardly calls me. So no news is good news.

He had started his Bh for a year plus with less than 40 nests but after taking my advise with some minor changes to the entrance hole, adding some new tweeters and re-positioned them, Spray Love on a regular basis, changed the sound to GS/Hypnotic,etc. Within a year his Bh hits more than 400 nests.

I am happy for him.

Location: Sibu, Sarawak

User of Love potion: Since 2010

錯誤的板條系統

我參觀了不少的燕屋農場，但是有時候那些修造燕屋農場的方式真正地使我驚奇。

有許多用了很有創造性的想法來修造燕屋農場，但是他們是否有想過，它是否行的通呢？ 不一定! 不是所有的想法都可以被合併到燕屋農場里的設計。

有时后，我們的想法也許可以很壯觀的在我們自己的想像力裏面，但是在實用它未必可以行的通。 理論，想法和實用是完全不同的。 它必须是有邏輯和在實施之前有經過測試。

以上的照片是從我參觀了許多的燕屋農場裏拍下來的。 鋪板條的系統是一個大問題。每天都有上百的燕子飛入這個燕屋農場，但是燕窩的数量是在平均之下。

這個方式來鋪板條是爲了防止90度的壁角燕窩。 結果，這個燕屋農場不止失去了所有的壁角燕窩，就算那些应该被修造在平直板條的燕窩也失去了。

Johor的燕屋主O先生沒有想到這一點，他要的是一個可以生產有質量的燕窩，一個成功的燕屋農場。他許多的朋友勸告他要避免壁角燕窩的鋪板系統。 為以大多數人來説，好品質的燕窩就是180度平直的燕窩。 這就是他們的優先條件，並且他們忽略了壁角燕窩的重要性，也就是成功燕屋農場裏的柱子。

有許多方式可以減少90度燕窩的数量。 壁角板是其中的一個方法。 年輕的燕子修造它們的燕窩在角落。 如果新的燕屋農場沒有這些角落，燕子將飛行到其他有角落的燕屋農場。

對于我，我會盡量爭取並且引誘使所有的燕子，不管年輕或老的燕子。 我會想要所有的燕窩，不管是90度的或平直180度的。燕子修造越多的燕窩，我的燕屋農場就越好的。 我是更加关注燕窩的数量，特别是新燕屋農場前1-2年的時間，它是最關鍵的期間。 之后，當燕屋農場的燕窩達到了1000個窩以上，我們就可以談如何來減少壁角燕窩巢。

通常許多燕屋主沒有注意到這一點和制定了錯誤的優先條件到其他事件。 他們更加关注燕窩的質量當他們一開聲音的時候。

談了這麽多，我肯定還有許多燕屋農場仍然使用這樣鋪板的系統。 「如果沒有失敗的燕屋農場，那又如何有成功的那些呢？」

Wrong Planking System

I have visited many Swiftlet farms and sometimes the way people built them really amazed me.

It was built with many creative ideas but have they ever thought, would it work or otherwise? Never! Not all ideas can be incorporated into the design of Swiftlet farm.

Sometimes ideas may seem spectacular in our own imagination but in practical it may not work. Theory, ideas and practical are all different. It must be logical and tested before implementation.

The above pictures were taken from one of the many Swiftlet farms I had visited. The Planking system is a big problem. Many birds visited this Bh everyday hundreds of them but the number of nests is way below average.

The planking formation was done in such way sighted to prevent 90dg corner nests. As the result, not only the Bh looses all its corner nests but also those that are supposed to be built on the straight planks.

The owner Mr. O of Johor didn’t realize this all he wanted was to have a successful Bh that could produce quality nests. Many of his friends had advised him to have planking system that prevents corner nests. For most people quality nests mean 180dg straight nests. This is their priorities and they neglected the importance of corner nests which is the pillar of success of Swiftlet farm.

There are many ways to reduce the number of 90dg nests. The corner board is one of them. Young Swiftlets build their nests at corners. If the new swiftlet farms have no corners for them they would fly to other bhs that have.

For me I would capture and lure all Swiftlets immaterial young or old. I would want all nests immaterial 90dg or straight 180dg.The more nests they build the better it is for my Bh. I am more concerned about the number of nests especially for newly built Swiftlet farm where the first 1-2 years is the most crucial period. Later when the Bh hits 1000 nests & above then we talk above reducing the corners nests.

Often many Swiftlet farmers fail to notice this and given wrong priority to other things. They are more concerned about the quality of the nests the moment they started the sound.

After having said this, I am sure there are still many Swiftlet farms are using such planking system. “If there is no failed Swiftlet farm then how could we have successful ones?”

現在就增加您的燕窩!

一旦您燕屋農場的燕窩到達了100個窩，要把燕窩的數字推高到300個窩在6個月内和到1000個窩在一年内是很容易的。 它不是不可能的如果您會做它。我有許多的讀者都達到了這個目的。

我看過許多燕屋農場達到這個目的，他們只是放入格外的努力，跟隨內部和外部环境的變動。

您可以坐下來輕輕松松的等待，希望燕窩經常每個月繼續的成長，但是它不一定會。 什么東西都會改變不可能保持一直同樣。

天氣改變，风向改變等等，都是出于我們控制以外的。 唯一我們可以控制之內的事是内部的环境。 這就是爲什麽我總是強調内部環境的重要性。

既使就算當您燕屋農場的燕窩是穩定地增加，您也不可以僅坐下和等待，當燕窩的数量下降的時候才有反應。 如果是這樣您早就丟失了許多燕窩，並且大多數的燕子將移居到您附近的燕屋農場。

那些可以在很短的时期達到巨大的增量，從幾百個燕窩到1000個窩之上的那些人，實行好的内部環境。 什麼是好的内部環境？

一些您需要做和觀察或者改變的事情，當您看它时是必要的：

1) 好的收穫實行 (收穫的日程表是根據季節而計劃的)

2) 連續好的芳香應用 (從未說「我已經有1000個窩了，因此沒有需要在使用芳香了」您的燕子將飞到您鄰居有芳香的燕屋農場)。 您是否有聽見過人抱怨燕窩和燕子的停滯並且減少？

3) 恆定和穩定的溫度： 27-30度. 這是很難維護的，尤其是當燕子的人口增長，燕子的體溫引起環境的熱度。 最终它將把整個燕屋農場的溫度推高。 這就是使用通风孔的時候了

4) 濕氣： 不可以太高或太低。 平均為75-90%。 這也會影響在燕屋農場裏燕子的数量。 想想。想想…

5) 高音揚聲器： 通常人们更换外部的高音揚聲器，並且根本不理會内部的高音揚聲器。 内部的高音揚聲器和外部的高音揚聲器是一样重要的。 如果内部的高音揚聲器不夠好或坏了，燕子不會停留並且也不會做窩。

6) 聲音： 一個經常被问的問題「我們應該什麽時候換外部聲音」。 但是很少聽到他們問什么时候應該換内部聲音。 我認為90%集中在外部聲音。 外部和內部的聲音都是同樣的重。 當到了某一個时期還是沒有改善之後，我們就應該換外部和内部的聲音。 為什麼還要等待呢？ 时间就是金錢。

7) 害虫的控制： 它是當务之急的。它應該是每個週期性地做的，取决于燕子群的大小。 從1-3個月。

8) 燕子屎的清潔： 就好像我之前提過，不是太清潔也不是太骯髒。 它也服從對燕子的人口大小在燕屋農場。

9) 检查您的板條是否有白蟻和寄生物 (青苔和真菌)。 (如果您投資了好的板條您就不須要擔心這一點了) 可悲的是，還是有那麽多的人告訴您所有的板條都是相同的。 我想唯一不同的是您必須使用抗真菌液體。

10) ........還有很多很多的…

如果您设法得到上面的50%正確和實踐在您的燕屋農場。 燕窩和燕子的人口增長的机會是非常大的。

Increase the Nests Now!

Once your Swiftlet farm has reached 100 nests and above it is easy to push this number to 300 nests within 6 months and to 1000 in a year. It is not impossible if you know how to do it. Many of my readers had achieved this.

I have seen many Swiftlet farms archiving this, all they did was putting extra efford in follow the changes of the internal and external environment. You can sit back and wait and hope that the growth would continue constantly every time every month but it would certainly not. Things change nothing remains constantly the same all the time.

The weather change, the wind directions change and so on which is out of our control. The only thing is within our control is the internal environment. That is why I had always emphasized on the importance of Micro.

Even when the number of nests in your Bh is growing steadily you can’t just sit down and wait and only response when the number of nests dropped. By this time you would have lost many nests and birds and most of them would have migrated to your neighbor‘s farm.

Most of those who had succeeded in achieving great increase in Nests from few hundred to above 1000 nests within a short period of time practices good Micro maintenance. What is good Micro maintenance?

Some of the things that you need to do and observe or change when you see it is necessary:

1) Good Harvesting practice (Plan a harvest schedule according to season)

2) Good continuous Aroma application (never says “I’ve got 1000 nests already so no need aroma” your birds will fly to your neighbors farms that has aroma). Have you heard people complaining about nests and birds population stagnant and reduce?

3) Constant stable temperature: 27-30C. It hard to maintain this as the bird’s population increase each birds generate heat from their body. Eventually it would push up the temperature of the Swiftlet farm. This is where the Vent hole comes into play

4) Humidity: can’t be too high or too low . Average 75-90%. This would also affected by the number of birds in farm. Think..Think...

5) Tweeters: Often people change Ext tweeters and couldn’t border about the Int tweeters. The Int tweeters are as important as the Ext tweeters. If the int tweeters are not good or not functioning properly bird won’t stay and make nests.

6) Sound: one of the most often asked question was “when should one change the EXT sound”. But rarely ask when they should change the INT sound. I think 90% focused on Ext sound. Both external & internal sounds are of same important. When there is no improvement over certain period of time then both EXT & INT sound should be changed. Why wait? Time is money.

7) Pest control: It is a must. It should be done periodically depended on the size of the birds population. From 1-3 months.

8) Clearing of Birds Droppings: As I had mentioned before never too clear nor too dirty. Also subjected to the population size of the birds in the farm.

9) Check you plank for termite and parasite (mold & Fungus). (If you had invested in good planks you don’t have to worry about this) Sad to say so there are still many people out there will tell you that all the planks are the same. I guess the only different is that later one has to use anti-fungus liquid.

10)……..and many more…

If you managed to get 50% of the above right and practiced in your swiftlet farm. Chances of nests and birds population increase are very high.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

防水, 可以承受100C 和 -40C....的USB

我有遇過一些有問題的無牌子和有牌子的USB和SD卡。 我肯定大家也有面對過同樣的問題。

它會停止運作和跳作，有時候運作了一會兒聲音會突然停止。 這都是因爲它過熱、使用恶劣的物質用途等等。 一些不是為長时间使用而设计的。

上星期我發現了這個獨特的USB。 它是很小個和很可愛的，當閉合上大概是1"的大小，當您拔出轉開它是大概1.5"左右。 (寬度：1/2")。

最好的是它還是防水，但不可以掉進水裏。 我們的燕屋農場總是很潮濕的，並且有很高的濕度，因此這個小小的USB為這樣環境是不错的。

我很驚奇的看到在它的標籤可以看到它可以承受已經是沸点的100+C。 同时它也可以在-40C結冰的情況下用。 還有什麽這個USB是做不到的？

您會很驚奇因爲它的價格是比那些中國製造的還來的便宜。

有了這樣的規格，我猜它就是燕屋農場最佳的選擇，因為燕屋農場內部的聲音24/7開著不停，過熱的USB 和SD卡將成爲歷史。

Water Proof, Withstand 100C & -40C....USB

I have encountered some problems with the None Branded & Branded USB drive and SD card. And I am sure you guys have faced the same problem.

It hang & jerk, sometimes the sound stop suddenly after playing for a short while. It is all due to over heating, poor material use in it,etc. Some are not designed for long hour use.

Last week I found this unique USB drive. It is small and cute, measure about 1" when closed and when you turn and pull it out it is about 1.5". (width :1/2").

Best of all it is water proof not water resistant. Our Bh is always wet and has high RH therefore this little USB would be right for such environment.

I was surprised to see on the label that it could withstand up to +100C that is boiling point already. At the same time could be use in freezing area of -40C. What not this this USB could do?

You would be surprised that the price is cheaper than those China made one.

With such specification I guess it would be best suit for Swiftlet farm where the Internal sound runs 24/7 non-stop and overheating of USB & SD card would be history.

To get them you may email swifjames@yahoo.com

改了在入口孔的高音揚聲器有更多的燕子飛入

「James,早上好! 我遵守了您的指示，改換了外部聲音Gs-9並且安裝了外在高音揚聲器在入口孔的低部，現在每天都有更多的燕子飛进我的燕屋農場」

「非常谢谢。 您幾時會再來我的燕屋農場檢查和教我更多的事… 哈。.哈」。

這就是從Linggi的K先生歡悅的反應。

我不久之前參觀了他的燕屋農場。 最初沒有太多的燕子进入他的燕屋農場。 當我從外面觀察的時候，發現了有很多的燕子设法盤旋在六角形的高音揚聲器和一些卻很接近入口孔。 但是，嘗試了幾次要進入的燕子就回到六角形的高音揚聲器的地方並且再也不注意到入口孔。

我告訴了Y先生在入口孔的高音揚聲器可能有對燕子有一些混亂，所以燕子沒有飞入的原因。

這就是燕子的本质行為，一旦它們感覺都有一些阻礙困難或危險到它們的飛行道路，他們將盡一切力量來避免。 A.Fuciphangus不是像其他的鳥類，一旦它們登陸在地面上，它們就不可能再離開，地面就是死亡。 所以地面是一個死区。 有了這樣的天性，如何有危險影響它們的尋址或飛行道路，它們將盡一切力量來避免。

通过瞭解燕子的行為在正确的地方安裝外部高音揚聲器是明智的。 其次為了得到最好的效果，有好的外在聲音也是必須的。 如果外在聲音是不夠有吸引力的，那么也沒有用的，即使高音揚聲器在适當的位置。

兩個必須以運用，我們都知道在燕屋農場，所有的因素莫名其妙地必須相互相關的。

對我來說，入口孔是其中一個重要区域，在燕屋農場它也是成功的門戶。 如果燕子不想要飛入燕屋農場，那么不管哪個燕屋有那麽的昂貴，不管哪燕屋是那麽的目前工艺水平，不管它的小配件是那麽的先遣也是沒有用的。

因此今天就做一些事，明天就可以看到它的改變!

DIY您自己的六角形高音揚聲器.

如果您有多空闲的时间，並且您對手工藝品是很好的，那麽您可以DIY您自己的六角形的高音揚聲器。

我在雪蘭莪的一個燕屋農場看見了這臺DIY的六角形高音揚聲器。 它是非常獨特的，有铁网丝在六角形高音揚聲器的頂部來防止其他鳥類棲息在那裏。

DIY六角形高音揚聲器的好處是您可以選擇您要的高音揚聲器的种类。 或許它可以是簡單又便宜的壓力高音揚聲器到更加昂貴的Motorola質量類型或金屬高音揚聲器(NH類型)。

對于我，我會喜欢使用更好质量的高音揚聲器，雖然價格也許是比較昂貴的，但是我們只是使用幾個而以。

您可以使用4-8臺的高音揚聲器。 任何比這個數目還要多的我認為是浪費。 別忘了一定要使用好的電線(100%銅的)。 如果使用优良品质的高音揚聲器，而不使用好的電線銅類型，那就沒有意思了，因為它將影響聲音的品质。

建议高音揚聲器的嘴應該是放橫的來防止雨水進入。 放橫的高音揚聲器聲音可以去倒更遠。六角形高音揚聲器的頂部應該是更加大的，以便它可以防止雨水進入。

看看那照片是非常容易DIY的。

DIY your Own Hexigonal Tweeter.

If you have some free time and you are good in handicraft maybe you could DIY your own Hex tweeters.

I saw this DIY Hex Tweeter at a Swiftlet farm in Selangor. It is very unique with the wire mesh on top of the Hex to prevent other birds to perch on it.

The advantage of DIYing the Hex is that you could choose the type of tweeters you want. It can be the simple cheap Piezo tweeter to the more expensive Motorola quality type or perhaps the Metal Tweeters (NH Type).

For me I would prefer to use better quality tweeters though the price might be expensive but we only use few of them.

You could use 4-8 pcs of tweeters. Anything more than that I think it is a waste. Don’t forget to use good speaker wire (100% copper). No point of using good quality tweeters if the wire is not the copper type as it would affect the sound quality.

It is recommended the mouth of the tweeters should face horizontally to prevent rain water from entering. Having facing horizontally the sound could travel farther. The top of the Hex cover should be slightly larger so that it could prvent rain water from entering.

Look at the picture it is very easy to DiY.
