Swiftlet farm Revamped & Redesigned

This video was recorded by my reader who is also a friend of mine. It was recorded 1 month after revamp.

He was new in Swiftlet farming but bravely built this Bh with the help of few friends. He thought it was easy. After switched on the sound barely few birds came and play every day. 3 months after that still the same. He tried all ways which he knows to attract the birds but failed.

He waited and waited with worries and don’t know what to do.

Later he consulted me for advice. When I look at the Farm there were so many problems. Worse of all he doesn’t know the underlying problems. I explained to him and asked him to do what is necessary or else no point of waiting.

I revamped and re-designed the whole internal and the entrance hole. This included:

*Partitioning (removing & adding)

*Insulation

*Sound System

*Tweeter arrangement

*Removed the Black paint

*Wiring

*and many more ( a list of them)

And the result was….unbelievable.

He was very happy with the result and wanted to know what should he do the next step to avoid costly mistake.

I told him, record down all the activities eg: droppings, nests marking, etc and I will advise the next step.

One step at a time…my friend. There are so much more to learn.

Enjoy the Video.

催眠-6號-(LP.12) 内聲縂于出來了.

(燕子愛死這個聲音)

最终，經過幾個月的絞盡腦汁和不眠不休的夜晚之后，大家久等的強而有效力的內聲終于出爐了。

「強而有力的催眠6號 (LP.12)」

已經被試驗和測試在超过20多個的燕屋農場，從剛被修造好的燕屋農場到那些到有超过1000個燕窩的燕屋農場。

結果是非常意想不到的。 它是特別地調整並且從新被混合來幫助快速的燕窩成長和鼓勵小的燕子停留。

在Hynotic-6號的每一個單獨的聲音都是小心地被選擇來混合以熱衷的小燕子聲音來觸發准备做燕窩的幼小和老燕子的反應。

如果您想要有快速的燕窩增長和燕子數量的增長，而且也要保留您燕屋農場的燕子停留，Hynotic-6號就是您的解答。

它也是為最新建造的燕屋農場高度推薦的。

您將看見它的分別。

我經常從我的讀者聽到許多顧問声称外聲比內聲重要。 並且他們說所有的內聲都是相同的。
別讓他們的解釋唬弄了。 有多少的他們是真正地瞭解燕子的聲音？

燕子下蛋的聲音是怎麼樣的？ 公燕子和母燕子有交配心情的聲音又是如何？兇猛的公燕子在土地佔領的聲音又是如何？ 那麽燕子感得安全和叫其他燕子进入燕屋農場的聲音？….等等。

外聲音是用來叫燕子，吸引它們來玩和进入入口洞。 當內聲是爲了說服它們停留和做窩。 答復是兩個都是同樣重要的。

如果您只是注意在外聲，並且沒有注意到內聲，那么您就是輸了50%了。

您需要兩個來完成100%。 它是非常簡單的「如我總是說您不必須是天才來了解這些事」。所有的東西都是在平衡，這就是我所說得穩定的環境情况，這也包括了伴音的系统。 內部聲音也是穩定燕屋農場的環境情况的其中一部分。 设想開始一個新的燕屋農場，不有用聲音，然後看看會发生了什么？大概20-30年前您可能可以這樣做，但是現在就不行了。

例如：燕屋農場有非常好的濕度平均85%，沒有大的波動，但是它的溫度卻是在中午35度和在晚上35度。 您認爲這個燕屋農場可以吸引燕子嗎？

您已經有答復了。

所以濕度和溫度兩者必須肩並肩來符合穩定85%的濕度，和28度的溫度，那麽就可以有大量的燕子停留。

這也用於聲音(內部)同一個方式，如果您只是集中僅外聲，並且忽略了內聲您的燕屋農場就好像是像注意到濕度和忽略了溫度，或者相反过來。

如果您想要成爲一位成功的燕屋主，您就不可以輕視這一點。

記住外聲和內聲兩者都是同樣重要的。希望你們瞭解!

Hypnotic-6-(LP.12) Internal Sound Is Out.

(Birds Love the Sound)

Finally after few months of cracking my head and staying up late, the powerful internal sound that all have been waiting for is out.

“The Powerful HYPNOTIC- 6-(LP.12)”

Tried out and tested in more than 20 Swiftlet farms, from newly built ones to those that have more than 1000 nests.

The results were fantastic. It was specially tuned and mixed to help fast nests growth and encourage young birds to stay.

Every individual sound in the Hynotic-6 is carefully selected to mix with the craving babies sound to trigger the response of young and old birds that are ready to make nests.

If you want fast nest grow and fast population increase as well as to retain your Birds to stay the Hynotic-6 is the answer.

It is highly recommended for newly built swiftlet farms.

You will see the different.

I often heard from my readers that many consultants claimed that the External sound is more important than the Internal sound. And they said all internal sounds are the same.

Don’t be fooled by their interpretation. How many of them really understand bird’s sounds?

How is the sound of Swiftlet laying egg? How is the Sound of Male and Female in a mating mood? How is the sound of Aggressive Male dominant during territorial defense? How is the sound of Swiftlets feeling safe and calling others to enter the farm?....and so on.

External sound is to call birds, to attract them to come and play and to enter the entrance hole. While Internal sound is to persuade them to stay and to make nests. The answer is both are equally important.

If you concentrated only on External sound and didn’t pay much attention to Internal sound then you are losing out 50%.

You need both to make it up to 100%. It is very simple “like I had always said you don’t have to be a genius to figure things out”. All must be in balance that is what I call Stable Condition Environment, that included sound system. Internal Sound is part of the Bh Stable Condition Environment. Try to start a new Bh without sound and see what happen? You could do that probably 20-30 years ago but not now.

For example: A Bh has a very good Rh averagely 85% without much fluctuation but the Temperature is 35C in the noon and 25C at night. Do you thing this Bh is going to attract birds?

You already have the answer.

So both the Rh & Temp have to work hand in hand complementing each other at 85% and 28C stable then there would be plenty of birds coming to stay.

This also applies to Sound (internal) the same way, if you concentrate on External sound only and neglected Internal sound your Bh it is going to be like concentrating on Rh and neglecting temperature or via versa.

It cannot Be Taken Lightly if you want to be a successful Swiftlet farmer.

Remember BOTH EXTERNAL & INTERNAL SOUND ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

Hope you guys understand!

建修監牢還是燕屋農場?

哪些是更加重要的？ 防止小偷闯入您新的燕屋農場或者在最短的时期吸引更多的燕子飛进入燕屋農場造燕窩。

對多數的人來説，防止小偷進入燕屋農場是最重要的，就算燕屋農場是新的或者裏面還沒有一個燕窩。

這是燕屋主的心理作用，這樣會使燕屋農場造成问题，而卻他還沒有發覺的。 您也許有最佳的保安系统或預防的小配件，但是，如果燕子不在您的燕屋農場修造燕窩，那麽您那上十萬的燕屋農場也是完蛋的。 您可以對您的朋友自誇關於您燕屋農場的保安系统有多好，但是在您心底是在哭泣的。

以上的照片是一個新的燕屋農場，燕屋主在開聲音之前已經安裝了防貓頭鷹的勒綫。安裝了電線是沒有錯誤的，但是決保它是沒有阻礙燕子的飛行道路。

在太靠近入口孔的地方安裝勒綫可以造成威胁，因為燕子將避免飛进入燕屋農場。 最大的威脅是在黃昏回歸的時期，它們可能會擊中防貓頭鷹的勒綫。

用勒綫來盤旋整個入口孔將會嚇唬到燕子，如果這是一個新的燕屋農場那麽就更加糟糕了。 燕子會覺得要找一個好的著陸會很困难。 或許在入口孔之上盤旋一會，然後就轉頭就飛走而不在回來了。

它表示，燕屋主對應該安裝什麼在入口孔附近也缺乏理解，並且不知道什麼是應該和不應該在那裡。

燕屋主應該問自己，他是投資了入保安系统或者可食的燕窩生意。

對於所有的燕屋主千萬不忘記您的宗旨，要保持集中精神，如果您想要在燕屋農場裏成功的話。

Building Prison or Swiftlet Farm?

Which is more important? Preventing people from breaking into your new Swiftlet farm or attracting as many birds as possible to fly into the Bh to build nests at the shortest period of time.

To most the first one which is preventing people from breaking in is most important even though the Bh is new or without a single nest.

This is more of a psychology effect of the Bh’s owner which cause problem to his Bh without realising it. You may have the best security system or preventive gadgets but if birds don’t build nests in your Bh then your few hundred K Bh is burned. You can brag about how good the security system of your Bh to your friends but deep inside you are crying.

The above pictures is a new Farm, the owner already installed the bard wire even before switching on the sound. It is not wrong to install them but make sure it doesn’t obstruct the flying path of the birds.

Having wires too close to the Entrance hole poses threat as the birds would avoid flying into the Bh. The biggest threat is during home coming at dusk they may hit the bard wire.

Bard wire circling the whole entrance hole would frighten birds, what more this is a new farm. The birds are finding hard time for good landing. Perhaps circling above the entrance -hole few rounds and turn away and never come back.

It shows that owner lack understanding of what should be installed around the Entrance hole and what shouldn’t be there.

The owner should ask himself is he investing into security system or Edible birds’ Nests business.

To all Swiftlet Farmers don’t forget your objective, please stay focused if you want to be successful in Swiftlet farming.

可以在燕屋農場周圍種植的樹

我的一些讀者问我在哪里他們可以找到无花果的树或我是否有賣它的種子。 我的回復是我沒有賣。 但是我告訴他們您可以在哪裏都可以發現它們，它實際上是到處都可以找得到。 就像在城市中心的KLCC。 這不是笑話，我在那裡看過有許多。

駕車到處去，特别是在那些消遣公園的附近，您將發現它們在那裡。 有大量的。 您家的鄰居也許也可以找的倒。 它們有許多種類，通常都可以吸引黃蜂的到來。


種植這些樹在燕屋農場的附近的目的是可以吸引昆蟲(黃蜂)，當那裡有昆蟲，那裏就有燕子。

那些花是由非常小的黃蜂授粉，小黃蜂爬行尋找一個適當的地方下蛋。 沒有這些傳粉者服務，无花果树並不能由種子再生產。 反过來，那些花為黃蜂的下一代提供避难所和養料。 這占黃蜂的幼蟲頻繁出现在果子的和导致了相關的演變關係。


但是要記住，無論您種植了多少的无花果树在您燕屋農場的周圍，但是如果您的燕屋農場是被建的很差勁的，然而它還是沒有用的。

燕子也許每天都來這裡食用免费的早餐和午餐，但是它們還是飞回到它們有好屋内環境和設計的燕屋農場。 因此，您努力種植无花果树是爲了喂其他燕屋農場的燕子。

无花果树的果子

在屋子前面的无花果树。 到處都有。

另一棵无花果树在三叉路口旁邊。

您可以在大根旁邊挖掘小的植物，然後就種植它在您的燕屋農場附近。

除了无花果树以外，另外一種樹也可以吸引許多昆蟲的就是Leucaena leucocephala， (Lamtoro、petai cina或者petai selong)。

這归结于它有能力生產大量的花蜜，而這花蜜會吸引許多昆蟲。它到處都可以找得到。 实际上，離我家幾步路的地方就可以找到它們了。 它可以很容易地生長。 它有很多乾的種子。 如果您不想要自己從種子種植它，您可以在大樹根的附近採一些小的樹。

乾了的Lamtoro種子。 您可以自己種植它。

照片就是在我家外面拍的。 昆蟲是很愛這些花。 在黃昏時間，可以看到許多燕子在它的上面飛來飛去。

另一個是椰子树。 在開花期间，它可以吸引許多燕子喜愛的食物，比如小甲蟲和黑螞蟻。 它有許多種類，只要種植那些不會長的很高哪些。 在燕屋農場的周围是不適當有更高的樹。

椰子树的花也是昆蟲愛的。 這就是，Sabak Bernam，Bagan Datok等等有大量的燕子數量，因為這些地方有很多的椰子種植園。

Trees to Plant Around Swiftlet Farm

Some of my readers asked where can they find the figs tree or do I sell the seeds. My reply was no I don't sell them. I told them you could find it yourself, practically it can be found everywhere. There are Even at the heart of the City like KLCC. This is not a joke, I have seen many there. Drive around especially those recreational parks you will find them there. There are plenty of them. Even your neighborhood may have it too. There are many species generally all attract wasps.

The purpose of planting these trees around Bhs is to attract insects (wasps), when there are insects there will be Swiftlets.

The flowers are pollinated by very small wasps that crawl through the opening in search of a suitable place to lay eggs. Without this pollinator service fig trees could not reproduce by seed. In turn, the flowers provide a safe haven and nourishment for the next generation of wasps. This accounts for the frequent presence of wasp larvae in the fruit, and has led to a co evolutionary relationship.

But remember no matter how many figs trees you plant around your Bh’s compound if your Bh is poorly built then it is of no use.

Swiftlets may come to have free breakfast and lunch every day and after that they will fly back to their Bhs that has good Micro & design. So your effort of planting of the Figs trees is to serve others Bhs birds population.

Figs tree fruits

Figs tree in front of a house. There are every where.

Another fig tree next to a junction.

You could just dig out the small plants next to the big roots and plant it at your Bh.

Besides the Fig tree, another type of tree that also attract lots of insects is the Leucaena leucocephala, (Lamtoro, petai cina or petai selong).

This is due to its ability to produce large amount nectar which attracts lots of insects.It can be found everywhere. In fact I can find them just a few steps outside my house. It can be easily grown. It has plenty of dry seeds. If you don’t want to plant it from the seed you could pluck the small young trees around the roots of the big trees

Dry Lamtoro Seeds. You can plant it yourself.

Picture taken outside my house. Insects love these flowers. It is common to see swiftlets swapping above it during dusk.
Another one is the coconut tree. During the flower time it attracts lots of small beetles and black ants which is the favorite food of swiftlets. There are many types , plant those that doesn't grow tall. It is not advisable to have taller tress surrounding bhs.
The flowers of the coconut tree, Insect Love them. That is why places like Sabak Bernam, Bagan Datok,etc have huge population of Swiftlet because both have plenty of coconut plantations.

煙霾! 對燕屋農場的好處和坏出

(正在燃燒中的印尼森林)

從80年代尾到現在，印尼燃燒森林和種植園是一年一度的禮節事理。 缺乏权威控制和沒有完善的章程管理，农庄主燃燒植物來清除移植和從新在反种。 這發生在Sumatera和Jawa。

它創造了煙霾並且不僅影響了周边地区，而且還有它的邻国。 這些國家的經濟被影響了，有些飛行的航班必須被取消就是爲了這些濃厚的煙霾，遊客避免來到這些地方等等。 它的衝擊力是難以想像的。 對所有的邻国它是一個很坏的消息。 但是.....，但是。

但是它是好的消息對於馬來西亞的燕屋主。 歷史总是重演的。 它就是最佳的时候來利用這個機會「Jawa 的A.Fuchiphangus龐大的遷移」。

回到80年代，當Sumatera的森林在開始燃燒，它強迫的使燕子尋找新的家和這創造了遷移。 在那时后，並沒有許多的燕屋農場在馬來西亞。 只是有很少的燕屋農場是由那些人有到印尼的人開始的。 您可以數得到或者它比您的手指還少，在整個鎮裏只有一兩間的燕屋農場。

在那段時間，燕子被迫離開印尼，它們的家(燕屋農場)如果留在那裏或者它們將會死。 它們就飛到如像檳城， Setiawan，太平，Parit Buntar， 巴生， 馬六甲， Muar等等的地方來尋找新的住宿，並且放棄了它們在印尼的家。

那些知道关于燕屋農場的人利用這個机會，到現在他們是先驅。

我還记得在我的家乡太平三十幾年前的時候。 我的鄰居使用長的竹竿來去除在走廊上的燕窩。在走廊外面的都是草巢，但是在樓梯下面的都是燕窩(EBN)。 那裡的嬸嬸說燕子把走廊弄髒了。

到现在那排商店全部都变成了燕屋農場，並且大多數都是非常成功的。 因此現在是煙霾的時刻，是由您有多麼恰當的決定來利用它。

目前，您不止需要盡量的大量吸引越多的遷移燕子，也許要尽量的防止您本身的燕子繼續的留在您的燕屋農場。

其中一件最重要的事在這個煙霾期間是确定您燕屋農場的濕氣(Rh)是在它的最理想的水平。 濕度的最理想水平將減少煙霾的作用在燕屋農場。 如果燕屋農場是乾燥的，那麽最受影響的就是小的燕子，並且死亡率會很高。 有了這樣的情況，當成年的燕子想要做燕窩时，它們將避免這樣的燕屋農場。 這也是它們燕子的自然天性似乎知道哪一個燕屋農場為它們是最佳的。 所以這就是爲什麽一些燕屋農場可以比其他燕屋農場能吸引更多燕子。 在這個期間濕度必須經常在85%。 這是最關鍵的期間。

其次，在入口孔的外面有洒水也可以幫助。 现在您知道為什麼印尼的燕屋農場有灑水或薄霧噴水隆頭在他們的入口孔。

第三，如果煙霧或陰霾是太濃厚和繼續在几個星期或几個月，您的燕屋農場將好像煙屋。 燕子是不喜歡這樣的環境的。 因為，人的鼻子不是好像燕子一般的敏感，我們不可能注意到它。 要排除這樣的情況您需要噴洒芳香來減少煙霾的作用。 (建议使用Love Potion)。

就算已經有大量燕窩的燕屋農場 (有幾公斤)和有非常濃厚的燕子屎。 這也不會減少煙霾的氣味。

因此，如果您知道怎样做，這是一個非常關鍵的期間，您可能可以吸引到大量的遷移燕子到您的燕屋農場。 但是同时，如果您不做任何東西，在您燕屋農場的燕子也許會離開。

因此今天一定要做一些事。當您燕屋農場的内部环境惡化了，對于明智的燕屋主，他們將尋找每一個機會來吸引遷移的燕子和同時竊取您的燕子。

HAZE! Advantages & Disadvantages to Swiftlet Farms

(Forest Burning In Indonesia)

The Indonesian forest and plantation burning is a yearly ritual affair since the late eighties. Lack of authority control and poor regulation management, plantation owners’ burn old crops to clear way for replanting. This happened in Sumatera and Jawa.

It created hazes and affected not only the surrounding area but also its neighboring countries. Economy of these countries are affected some flights have to be cancelled due to thick haze, tourist avoid coming to these places, etc. The impact is unimaginable. It is bad news to all neighboring countries. But…..But..

But it is good news to Swiftlet farmers in Malaysia. History always repeats itself. It is the best time to take advantage of this opportunity “The Great Migration of Jawa A.Fuchiphangus”.

Way back in the eighties when the forest burning in Sumatera started it forced the Swiftlets to look for new homes and this created the migration. During that time there were not many Swiftlet farms in Malaysia. There were only few Bhs that were started by those who have been to Indonesia. You could count them it is less than your fingers perhaps there were only one or two Swiftlet farms in the whole town.

During these period Swiftlets were forced to leave their homes ( swiftlet farms) in Indonesia or else they would die. They fly to places like Penang, Setiawan, Taiping Parit Buntar, Klang, Melaka, Muar and so on to seek new shelters and abandoned their Homes in Indonesia.

Those who knew about Swiftlet farming at that time took this opportunity and now they are the pioneers.

I still remember in my home town Taiping thirty over years ago. My neighbors used long polls to remove nests from its corridor. They were grass nests at the outer part of the corridors and the inner side at the stair case there were birds’ nests (EBN). The aunties there claimed the birds dirtied the walk way.

Now these whole rolls of shop lots had turned into Swiftlet farms and most of them are very successful. So the haze is here and now it is up to how well you know how to take advantage of it.

At present not only you need to attract as many migration birds as possible at the same time to prevent your existing swiftlest from leaving your Bhs.

One of the most important things to do during this haze period is to make sure your Bhs Humidity (Rh ) is at its optimum level. Optimum level of Rh would reduce the effect of haze in Bhs. If the Bh is dry then birds especially the babies would suffer and the mortality rate will be high. With such situation adult birds would avoid such Bhs when they want to make nests. This is birds’ natural instinct they seemed to know which Bhs is best for them. That is why some Bhs could attract more birds than others. During this period the Rh has to be at 85% constantly. This is the most crucial period.

Secondly having water sprinkles outside the entrance hole would help. Now you know why Indonesia’s Bhs have water or mist sprinkler at their entrance holes.

Third, if the smog/haze is too thick and continued for weeks/months your Bhs would smell like a smoke house. Birds don’t like such environment. We may not notice it as human nose is not as sensitive as birds. To counter this you need to spray Aroma to reduce the smoke effect. (Recommended Love potion).

Even Bhs that already have plenty of nests (few kgs) and with very thick drooping. This won’t reduce the smoke smell.

So this is a very crucial period, you could attract lots of migration birds to your Bhs if you know what to do. At the same time if you just leave it as it is the existing birds in your Bhs may leave too.

So do something about it today. For smart Swiftlet farmers they are seeking every opportunity every moment to attract migration birds and at the same time steal your swiftlets when your Bhs internal environment deteriorated.

HAZE!

Malaysia 'complains to Indonesia over haze'

Malaysia has complained to Indonesia about land-clearing fires in the neighbouring country that have led to a blanket of pollution and poor air quality.

Environment Minister Douglas Uggah Embas sent a letter to his Indonesian counterpart Friday about hundreds of suspected fires on Sumatra Island, national news agency Bernama reported.Indonesia's government has outlawed land-clearing by fire but weak law enforcement means the ban is largely ignored, and pollution regularly blankets the region.

Air quality on Friday dropped to a level deemed "unhealthy" in one area of Negeri Sembilan state, south of the capital Kuala Lumpur. Though conditions improved on Saturday, some 60 percent of the country recorded "moderate" pollution.

Uggah Embas said Indonesia had improved efforts to tackle the problem since 2005 when parts of one Malaysian state experienced pollution at highly dangerous levels.

He is expected to meet his counterpart, Gusti Muhammad Hatta, at an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) gathering in Bangkok on September 18.

And he said Malaysia would push for the setting up of a regional fire fighting squad to tackle haze-related fires in ASEAN member countries.

"We will push for this unit because we need quick deployment should any member country require such assistance," he was quoted as saying.

His aides could not immediately comment on the Bernama

自己DIY的火箭筒

很有趣的! 我讀者修造的一個3尺的火箭筒。 這3個火箭筒是他為他新將要在這個週末開聲音的燕屋農場使用的。

您也可以自己DIY它。 我前幾天去了他的辦公室。 他為他的手工感到非常骄傲並且想要我的評論。

前面的部分沒有適當地完成，他應該使用螺絲來鎖住那個網。 那個磁帶不是足够堅硬的。 經過幾天時間的日曬和雨淋它一定拆開的。很有趣地，他對他的火箭筒是非常雄心勃勃和非常有確信的。

Interesting! 3ft Bazooka built by my Reader. This 3 Bazookas are for his new Bh which is going to start sound this weekend.

You could DIY it also. I went to his office few days ago. He was very proud of his works and wanted my comment.

The front part is not done properly, he should use screws to hold the net. The tape is not strong enough. It will come out in few days time under the rain and sun.
Interestingly he is very ambitious and very confident about his Bazookas.

The fun of Swiftlet farming is that you could DIY many things and gadgets to attract birds.

Good Swiftlet Farming All!

如何DIY有網的壁角板來快速的提高燕窩的成長在新的燕屋農場 DIY Corner Board to Enhance Fast Nests Building in New Swiftlet Farm

這是您如何可以吸引幼燕子到您新的燕屋農場修造燕窩的技巧。 有时后，您之前可能需要几個月或几年的時間才可以看到第1個燕窩的打底在您新的燕屋農場。 有許多人會勸告您等待，但是等待也是有極限的….

這裡就是我在我的燕屋農場使用的其中一種戰術來快速提高燕窩的成長，特别是在新的燕屋農場。 我會逐步來顯示您如何DiY這個有網的壁角板。它是非常有效的。 燕子甚至會修造燕窩在有高音揚聲器的壁角板上。 當您看到它的結果时，您同意技術、技巧和知識是成功燕屋農場的柱子。

燕窩的打底在沒有高音揚聲器有網的壁角板上。

您需要的東西來DIY有網的壁角板。 1) 訂書槍，确定您使用一個优良品质的。 高质量的訂書槍將擊穿硬木。 (向中國製造的說不) .2) 塑料的网，任何的顏色都可以。 您可以從五金店買得到。 3) Love Potion。 4) 壁角板。 我更喜歡新月形圓類型的。

噴洒Love Potion在壁角板上。 確定把喷嘴轉到噴薄霧浪花讓它們烘乾。

把網剪成壁角板的大小。 确定它把整個表面蓋著。我喜欢使用塑料的网，因為它可以承受氧化和不會生產含毒物的氧化好像鋼或鋁。

用釘書槍釘所有的角落。 一旦完成了。您可以在您的燕屋農場安裝它們。

我使用的訂書槍是瑞典制造的。 我在我所有的燕屋農場都使用了它，已經有好幾年了。 它從未讓我失望。 我還记得，有一次它從第3個楼的互連孔掉落到底层，出于我的意外，除了一些傷痕和它的手把一點歪了之外，它還是完全仍然运作的。

要得到訂書槍的價錢，請打電話來問。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

與泰國朋友參觀獨立燕屋農場 Standalone Swiftlet farms Visit with a Friend from Thailand

上个星期是一个很完美的长假期。最我终于可以在家里放松和完全不做任何东西。 只從我介入了燕屋农场這個行業我就没有好好的休息。 我一直要好好的休息和完全的放开燕屋农场的事物。

我预备不做任何的燕屋农场参观，因为我刚刚从流感痊愈和我要。。。不做任何东西和休息。

当您很过繁忙的时候，太过繁忙和有很多不顺利的東西從早上到夜晚，您要的是全部东西停顿。。。如果可以只是要按一个钮就可以让全部东西消失。 但是这是不可能的。 就算我没有做任何事情，但是有些事情会突然没有预料的时候发生的。

在马来人过年的第一天，一个从泰国的朋友打电话给我。 “嗨，James，这个周末我会和朋友来KL购物. 我好几没有见您了，我可以来见您吗，我的好朋友？“

我怎么可以说不呢….对一个从泰国来的好朋友。

K.Sorn先生是从Yala来的。几年前从我的部落格认识了我。 他是最早使用Love Potion的泰国人和到现在还是在使用。 他所有的燕屋农场都是使用Love Potion.

我还记得在几年前他告诉我，”James, 我要造更加多的燕屋农场，但是我很担心。 我两个独立的燕屋农场都没有很好的成绩。 两间燕屋农场过了俩年只是有少过80个燕窝。“

在使用了Love Potion 5个月之后，他又打电话给我，这次他要订购放大器，高音杨声器，等等，但是要大量的还要Love Potion.

背後的原因是。。。他新的燕屋农场將快完成了。 我很驚奇。我問了他，“我以爲您不會再建燕屋农场了？“

他回復了，“James, 有了Love Potion我再也不會害怕，我那兩個燕屋农场在短短的5個多月有了將近300個燕窩。所以我將會建更加多的燕屋农场。“

K. Sorn將會建3個燕屋农场在他泰國南部的地。這就是我記得他的原因，然後我們成爲了好朋友。我記得我叫他為一個要更加多燕屋农场和LPs（Love Potion）的人。

像往常一樣，有成功燕屋农场的人都是聰明的人。爲了這次的行程他一石2鳥。他帶他的家人來K.L.購物，同時他也可以做一些燕屋农场的事務。

他要看看馬來西亞的人如何做獨立燕屋农场，尤其那些在馬來西亞南部的。有了多果12個獨立燕屋农场的他，還是要更多。這次他要建與泰國不同的燕屋农场。

我帶他到Selangor南部不遠的地方，因爲他傍晚要趕回K.L. 路程是很順暢的…如果每一天都是好像這樣那我的路程將會多容易。

我帶他的地方是一個近海的油棕園。很多植物。從主要道路都是看不到那些獨立燕屋农场的。多數都是躲在後面的。最近這幾年，燕屋农场在這裡已經好像蘑菇一樣的成長了，只是我們沒有注意到罷了。

我在這裡有一間從2009年到現在。它的成果…好…非常好. 在短短一年的時間有多過10間。一些新的肩並肩的和久的燕屋农场排在一行，這就代表久的燕屋农场是做的不錯。

那些做狗洞設計的也有好幾种，一些有很多入口洞，與其他相比多了很多。一些只是有一個小的入口洞。 這裡相同的就是3層樓和狗洞類型。

老實說，如果您問我的意見在獨立燕屋农场，我會選擇狗洞。您會同意我的講法如果您的燕屋农场有了上千的燕窩。

在這裡完美的地方就是它有很多運河 圍繞著植物園。它是一個底和平的區域而且還是靠近海邊。外部環境是一流的，高濕度而且還很涼快的風。這就是我們所要的燕屋农场。地點在燕屋农场是其中一個最重要的元素。如果您得到了這樣對的地點，第二個要做的事是燕屋的設計。第三的事是燕屋农场屋内的那方面。

天氣是很好的，有藍天。我趁這次的機會來享受一下美麗的風景，但是我的朋友K.Sorn先生是爲了燕屋农场事務而來的…哈…哈…

享受這些照片…大家有好的燕屋農場!

DIY Corner Board to Enhance Fast Nests Building in New Swiftlet Farm

Here is the tips of how you can attract young birds to build nests in your New Swiftlet farm. Sometimes it takes months or years before you could see the 1st nest marking in your new swiftlet farm. Many would advise you to wait but there is a limit....

Here is one of the tactics I use in my Bhs to enhance fast nests growth especially in new swiftlet farm. I will show you step by step to DiY this corner boar netting.It is very effective. Swiftlets would even build nests on corner boards that have tweeters. When you see the result you would agree that techniques, skill and knowledge are the pillar of success in Swiftlet farming.

Nest marking on the Corner board netting without tweeter.

Things that you need to DIY the Corner Board Netting. 1) Stapler gun, make sure you a good quality one. High quality stapler gun would penetrate hardwood. (no..no to China made).2) Plastic netting, any colors will do. You can get from Hardware shop. 3) Love Potion. 4) Corner Board. I prefer the crescent round type.

Spray Love Potion onto the Corner Board. Make sure turn spray nozzle to mist spray leave them to dry.

Cut Plastic netting to match the size of the Corner board. Make sure it covers the whole surface.
I prefer to use plastic netting because it withstands oxidation unlike steel or aluminium which could oxidise and produce toxic.

Staple all corners. Once it is done .You could install them in your Bh.

The stapler gun I am using is Made in Sweden. I have used it for many years for all my Bhs. It has never let me down. I remember once it felt from the 3rd Floor inter-hole and landed on the ground floor to my surprise other than scratches and the handle tilted a little it still works perfectly.

Stapler gun available please call for price.

Standalone Swiftlet farms Visit with a Friend from Thailand

Last week was a fantastic long holiday. Finally I could sit back at home and do nothing. I haven’t got a good rest ever since I got involved in Swiftlet farming. I had always wanted to rest and totally stay away from all swiftlet farming activities.

I've intended not to do any farm visiting as I’ve just recovered from flu and I want to….do nothing and rest.

Sometimes when you are too busy…..extremely busy and having a hectic morning till night you just wish all these would stop..If possible just push a stop button everything just vanished. But that would not happen. Even when I was doing nothing there would be things that would pop up unexpectedly.

On the first day of Raya my friend from Thailand calls. “Hi James, I will be in K.L to do some shopping with my family this weekend. I have not seen you for long time could I meet up with you my good friend?”

How could I say no… to a good friend from Thailand.

Mr.K.Sorn of Yala got to know me from my blog many years back. He was the first few pioneer users of Love Potion from Thailand and till now stills a regular user. All his Bhs are using Love potion.

I still remember what he had told me many years ago, “James I wanted to build more Swiftlet farms but I’m afraid. My 2 standalones are not doing well. After 2 years there are less than 80 nests in both Bhs”.

After 5 months of using Love Potion he calls me again this time he wanted to order Amplifiers, tweeters, etc in big quantity together with the Love potion.

Reason being…. For his new swiftlet farms which will be completed soon. I was surprised. I asked him, “I thought you’re not going to build anymore farm?”.

He replied, “James with Love potion I am not afraid anymore, my 2 farms now have about 300 nests after 5 months plus. So I am building more farms”.

Mr.K.Sorn is building another 3 farms on his lands in Southern Thailand. This is how I remembered him and later we became good friend. I used to call him the man who wants more farms and LPs (love potion).

As usual successful swiftlet farmers are brilliant people. For this trip he kills 2 birds with one stone. He took his family for shopping in K.L at the same time he could do some swiftlet farming stuffs.

He wanted to see how Malaysian Standalone looks like especially those that are located down south of Malaysia. With more than 12 standalones now he still wants to build more. This time he wanted something different from how the Thai built them.

I took him to the South of Selangor which is not far as he has to get back to K.L by evening. The traffic was dam good …if every day were like this it would have made my travelling easy.

The place we went was an Oil palm plantation next to the sea. Plenty of vegetation. The Standalones cannot be seen from the main road. Most of them were hidden inside. In recent years Swiftlet farm has been mushrooming here without many people noticing.

I have one here which operated in year 2009. The ….result good….good. And within 1 year there were more than ten of them. Some new ones were built side by side those old Bhs these showed that the old ones are doing pretty well.

There were many different designs of Dog Kennel, some with multiple entries which are more than one entrance hole. While others stick to small entrance type. There is one similarity here all are 3 storey with Dog Kennel type.

Sincerely if you ask my opinion on Standalone I would opt for Dog Kennel. You would agree with me when your Bh reaches 1000 nests and above.

The beauty of this place is that it has many canals surrounding the plantation. It is a low and flat land area which is next to the sea. External environment is fantastic cool wind with high humidity. This is what we want in swiftlet farming. Location is one of the most important factors in Successful Swiftlet farming. If you get the location right the second thing to do is the farm design. The third is the internal aspect of the farm.

The weather was good with bright blue sky. I take this visit as leisure enjoying the scenery but my good friend Mr.K.Sorn takes it as Swiftlet farm visit….ha…ha..

Enjoy the pictures …Good Swiftlet farming All!
