Your Swiftlet Farm Has To Be Special 您的燕屋農場必須是很特別的




This is one of the most happening Swiftlet Farm in an Eco Park located in Terengganu. There are so many Swiftlet farms here but this one stand out among all the rest. It's attracted lots of birds. As you could see the birds only choose to play at this Swiftlet Farm, the rest of its neighbours seem quite.

Do you know why...? This Swiftlet Farm has been using Love Potion (hormone) Aroma from the start and still using it now. It also using the attacking sound B-52 sound (external) and the P9 (internal) combined. This particular Swiftlet farm is getting all the neighbours young birds.

To win the battle (sound war) you need an attacking sound. A common Swiftlet sound will never work in a Prime Zone Area. It has to be something different and special.

Enjoy the Video.

Good Swiftlet Farming All!          


這是一個最潮的生態公園燕屋農場位于在丁加奴州。在這裏有那麽多的燕屋農場,但是只有一間是出人意表的。它吸引了眾多的燕子。你可以看到燕子們只選擇這間燕屋農場來玩,它鄰居的燕屋農場看來似乎很冷清。


你知道為什麼嗎... ...?這間燕屋農場一直使用了Love Potion(激素)的香氣,從一開始到現在還正在使用它。它還有使用有攻擊性的聲音B-52聲音(外聲)和P9(內聲)結合一起使用。這間特定的燕屋農場把所有鄰居的小燕子都吸引過來了。

要贏這一仗戰爭 (聲音戰) 您需要一個有攻擊性的聲音。一些普通常見的燕聲在這一個頭等燕子區是行不通的。它必須是與衆不同和非常特別的東西。

享受這一段錄影。

不是開玩笑的,這是真的

一個擁有4年多的燕屋主昨天很不耐煩地打了個電話給我想要知道什麼是溫度和濕度。這不是開玩笑的。這是事實。我參觀過很多燕屋農場,見過各種各樣不同的燕屋主。你無法想像我見過的人。有時候我所聽到的東西真是讓人難以置信。你會很驚訝如果您知道他們其實懂得什麽。


我的結論是一個人不一定必要擁有許多燕屋農場或有很多成功的燕屋農場,他對燕屋農場的知識就很廣闊。不一定在燕屋農場裏花了很多年就具備良好的燕屋農場技能。

這是真的 !

"嗨,James你好嗎?你現在得空嗎?我有幾個問題向要問你的。“

"哦 ,L先生,我很好。肯定沒有問題。你想要知道什麼呢?"


"James,濕度是什麼呢?"


"什麼? ... ... 你可以重複一次嗎?你不就是在 Negeri Sembilan有一家燕屋農場的L先生嗎?"


"是的。我就是L先生,我想知道什麼是濕度。


"濕度就是空氣的水分或空氣的濕氣 ... ... 就好像霧你知道嗎?


"你的意思是像濕的地板嗎?


"可以是類似的,但有時候,濕的地板是不足夠增加到我們要的濕度。


"那麽要如何才可以增加濕度,James?"


(我已經很有耐心,但是另一方面我不知道這個傢伙是不是在作弄我。。不要緊耐心一點)。


"也有很多方法可以增加濕度。您可以安裝噴霧機、 加濕器、 噴水機等等,有很多其他在市場上的小道具可以有助於增加燕屋農場的濕度"。


"我還以爲這是爲了讓燕子來玩的。Ok,James,我明白了,什麼濕度才是最佳的呢?"


"L先生,你的意思是在過去的4年,你仍然不知道在燕屋農場裏什麽濕度才是最佳的程度嗎?你一定是在跟我開玩笑。你想要測試我或者你真的不知道嗎?"


"James, 事實上我真的不知道。要不然我不會打電話給你"。


"很好的,L先生,可接受的水平是75%-95%,如果你能維持濕度在一個水準,那就更好了。


"哦,原來如此,那麽溫度呢?如果我增加濕度,那溫度是應該增加或減少呢?"


"那就好看情況,因爲溫度和濕度有很小的相關性。這並不代表,將濕度增加溫度就會減少或反之亦然。這還要看看那通風孔,燕屋農場的牆壁,分區,入口洞的大小、燕屋農場的設計,狗洞型或開天井型,還有其它 ... ...,等等"。


"James, 我很繚亂了"。


"L先生,你參加的研討會中他們不是已經教了你嗎?


"... ... 沒有, James."


"那麽他們教了你什麼呢?"


"他們教的是燕子的的類型。 可食燕窩的歷史。......................."


"噢,我的天啊。沒關係"。

這就是我和L先生之間的對話。這不開玩笑的,這是真實的,這就是那些擁有燕屋農場的燕屋主所知道的東西。

所以,下次如果你見到那些有很多燕屋農場或有很多成功燕屋農場的人,先別太高興,還以爲你可以向他們學習。令你吃驚的是,您知道的可能比他們瞭解的更多。

他們可能向您抛幾個竅門和技巧,但是那些"自己嘗試,行不行我不知道"。

No Kidding This Is True


An owner of 4 year old BH called me yesterday impatiently wanting to know what temperature and humidity is. It is not funny. It is the truth. I had visited many Bhs, meeting with all sorts of Bh owners. You can’t imagine what people I had met. Sometimes it is really unbelievable what I heard. You would be totally shocked to know what they actually know.

I had concluded that not necessary a person who owned many BHs or have many successful BHs have vast knowledge in Swiftlet farming. Not necessary a person who had spent many years in Swiftlet farming posses good Swiftlet farming skills.

That is true!

Hi James how are you? Are you free now? I have few questions for you.

“Oh Mr.L , I’m fine. Sure no problem. What do you want to know?”

“James what is Humidity?”

“What?.......can you repeat that again? Isn’t you the Mr.L who has BHs in N.Sembilan?”

“Yes I am. I am  Mr.L, I want to know what humidity is.

“Humidity is the wetness of air or the water vapor in the air…like mist you know?

“You mean like a wet the floor?

“Well it could be like that but sometime a wet floor is not enough to increase the Humidity that we prefer.

“Then how to increase the humidity James?”

(I am already very patient, but on the other hand I was wondering is this guy trying to pull my leg..Never mind be patient).

“Well there are many ways to increase humidity. You can install Mist maker, Humidifiers, Water sprinkler, etc and there are many other gadgets in the market that help to increase humidity in Bh”.

“I thought that is for birds to play.Ok James I got it but what is the best level of humidity?”

“Mr.L you mean after 4 years and having many Bhs you still don’t know the best level of humidity in Bh? You must be kidding me. Are you trying to test me or you really don’t know?”

“James sincerely I don’t know. Otherwise I won’t be calling you”.

“Well Mr.L the acceptable level is 75% - 95% if you could maintain a constance level then it will be good.

“Oh I see what about temperature? If I increase the humidity will the temperature reduce or increase?”

“It depends there is a small correlation between temperature and humidity. It doesn’t mean humidity increases the temperature will reduce or via versa. It depends on the Vent-Hole, the walls of the Bh, the partitioning, the size of Entrance hole, the type of Bh design DK or OR…and so on”.

“Mr.James I am confuse”.

“Mr.L didn’t they teach you all these in seminars that you had attended?

“No Mr.James…”

“Then what did they teach you?”

“They teach about the type of Swiftlets . The EBN history………………………………………..”

“Oh my god. Never mind”.

This is the conversation between me and Mr.L. No kidding it is true how little those who had Bhs know.

So next time if you meet those who have many Bhs or those who have successful Bhs don’t be too happy thinking that you could learn from them. To your surprise you may know more than what they know.

They may throw few tricks and tips for you but those are “Try if yourself Works or Not I don’t Know”.

不管是誰建造的燕屋農場

我上個月參觀了這個燕屋農場,但沒有時間發佈在我的部博客上。我幾乎忘記了這件事直到昨天我在電腦看到這幾張照片。


此燕屋農場已經開始運作有一年多的時間了。目前裡面只有幾個燕窩。位於頭等區和一些鄰居燕屋農場每個月都有超過10公斤的燕窩收穫。

這是一個3層樓的建築物,而頂樓已經轉換成燕屋農場。已經有幾個改造,但仍然還是沒有很好的結果。因此我被邀請到這個燕屋農場去看一看。

我問燕屋主。出了什麼錯誤呢?讓我來調查一下。燕屋主回答說 "James一切都是很好的。我覺得應該是沒有什麼錯誤。它是由一個有名的人建造的,從......他是。。。先生。 ... ...你認識他嗎?"

就好像我所說了好多片 "如果不是着火了,那哪來煙呢"。

不管是誰建造的燕屋農場。燕子更本不在乎是誰或他是如何著名。如果燕屋農場不適合它們,沒有好的基本屋内環境那麽它們不會定留和做燕窩。

也許大多數的燕屋主知道有煙,但他們卻無法找到那裏着火。要發現那裏着火需要有好的燕屋農場技能。

(高音揚聲器只是面向一個方向和太少了)

當我進入這個燕屋農場,就在往燕屋農場内幾步的時間,我就可以發現有許多東西都沒有做得好。甚至不需要看濕度計我就可以感覺到它的屋内環境控制不是做的很好。內部的設計是完全不行的。想像一下我還得問燕屋主那個入口洞在哪裡。那是太黑了更本看不到從入口洞的光(光線)。燕子很難才找到它們的進口和出口。

(在必要的時候才油上黑漆 "不一定是強逼性的")

下面是結論:

1) 太多的通風孔。(當燕屋農場的溫度上升時,他們就增加通風孔的數量。他們不知道的是,因爲這個做他們是讓外面的熱空氣進入燕屋農場内,而導致燕屋農場的内部環境變成不受控制)。

2) 天花板上面更本沒有防熱材料。(他們已經為超過上百的人通過這種方式建造過燕屋農場,所以一直在繼續這樣做)。

3) 所有在木板和天花板之間的差距。(天花板上的木邊沒有被刪除掉。也許是為了節工。也可能這是他們建造燕屋農場的方式。 在所有的木板和天花板之間都有約 1"的差距。它創造了空氣流動而影響燕子找燕窩)。

4) 高的溫度 (沒有防熱材料把溫度推高)

5) 低的濕度 (有了這麼多的通風孔,又如何可以維持濕度呢?這是一個簡單的常識)

6) 使用在市場中最便宜的木板。(但卻自稱是Meranti)。

7) 太少的內部和外部的高音揚聲器。

8) 錯誤的高音揚聲器編排。

9) 內部的高音揚聲器都按裝在錯誤的地方。(不應該安裝在壁角板下面。它應該安裝在壁角板和木板同行)。

10) 它的窗口只是用了三夾板來密封而已。

11) 它的環繞區都油上了黑漆。

12) 所有的音響系統都錯誤地設置 (只用一個Amp來完成所有的目的)

13) 到處都有懸吊的電線。

14)     錯誤的入口洞位置

15)     環繞區的面積太小

16)  錯誤的區分(影響燕子的飛行路徑)

17) ... ... 還有更多

(直接安裝在壁角板下面是更好的)

燕屋主之前表示他的燕屋農場是沒有問題,那到底是誰對誰錯?這個清單可以沒完沒了 ... ...。

這個需要加以糾正的問題清單將交給燕屋主,我不想暴露更多以便可以為燕屋主和他的著名顧問留下臉子。

所以請記住燕子更本不在乎誰建造的燕屋農場。如果屋内環境被搞砸了那這個燕屋農場就完蛋了。不管誰建造的燕屋農場,最重要的是基本要正確。第一步就是要得到正確的基本,然後下一步才把燕子量推高。

大家有好的燕屋農場!

Does It Matters Who Build The Swiftlet Farm

I had visited this BH last month but didn’t have the time to post on my blog. I had almost forgotten about it until yesterday when I was running thru some pictures on my computer.

This BH had operated for more than a year. Currently there were only few Nests inside. Located in a Prime Zone Area and some of its neighbors are harvesting more than 10kg of Nests per month.

It is a 3 storey building with the top floor converted into a Swiftlet farm. There have been few revamps but still no good result. I was invited to have a look at this Bh.

I asked the owner. What has gone wrong? Let me investigate.  The owner replied “James everything is OK. I think nothing is wrong. It was done by a famous person from ……. He is Mr….     Do you know him?”

As I had said many times “There will be No Smoke if there is No fire”. 


It doesn’t matter who builds the BH. Swiftlets don’t care who is who or how famous he is. If the BH doesn’t suit them with good basic micro then they will not stay and build nests.

Perhaps most owners knew there is smoke but they are unable to find the fire. To find the fire it needs good Swiftlet farming skills.


( Tweeters facing one direct and too few of them)

When I entered the Bh within few step towards the middle of the Bh I discovered so many things that are not properly done. Without even needed to look at the Hygrometer I could feel a bad Micro control. The internal design was totally out. Imagine I have to ask the owner where the Entrance Hole is. It was too dark I can’t see light (ray) from the Entrance Hole. Birds are having hard time finding their ways in and out.



(Only paint black when necessary "NOT compulsory")

Below are the findings:

1) Too many Ventilation Holes. (They increased the number of Vent-Hole as the BH temperature rises. What they didn’t know is that they are allowing hot air from outside into the BH making the Micro uncontrollable).

2) No Insulation Materials above the Ceiling. (They have been building hundreds of Bhs for people this way so they continue to do so).

3) Gaps between all Nesting Planks and Ceiling. (The Ceiling Wood Skirting not removed. Probably to save works. Maybe that is the way they build Bh. Leaving gaps of about 1” above all Nesting planks. It creates movement of air that affects Nest Building).

4) High Temperature (with No Insulation Material it pushes up the Temperature)

5) Low Humidity (with so many Vent-Holes how could the RH maintain? This is a simple
Common sense)

6) Using the cheapest Nesting Planks available in the market. (Claimed to be Meranti). 

7) Too few Internal and External tweeters.

8) Wrong Tweeters formation.

9) Internal Tweeters position installed wrongly. (It was not installed directly under the corner board. It was installed next to the corner board parallel to the planks).

10) Window sealed with ceiling board only.

11) Roving painted with black paint.

12) Sound System all wrongly set up (One Amp for all purpose)

13) Dangling wire everywhere.

14) Wrong position of the Entrance Hole

15) Roving Area too small

16) Wrong partitioning (affect flying path)

17)…..and many more 


( It is better to install directly under the corner board)

The owner earlier said his Bh has got no problem so who is right? The list can go on….
The list of problems that need to be rectified will be given to the owner and I wouldn’t want to expose more here to safe the faces of the owner and his famous consultant.

So remember Swiftlets don’t care who builds the Farm. If the Micro screw up then that is the end of the BH. It doesn’t matter who builds the Swiftlet farm most important getting the basic correct.
The first step is to get the basic correct then the next step is to push up the population.

熱季可以殺害您的燕屋農場

將會有更多的燕子蛋在燕屋農場裏的地板上在這個低繁殖的季節,就是從4月到7 月份。這是一個乾旱的季期,哪裡的食物是稀缺、 要尋找昆蟲也就是燕子的主要食物也是不容易的,因為昆蟲繁殖和生存跟雨季有很大的依賴程度。


在這段時間,成功繁殖的百分比是59%或更底,相比到年底也就是從9月到12月份(雨季)成功率低是97%(GAHPEB Species Malaysia)。從上面的資料表明雨季是非常重要和水是燕屋農場的生命精髓。

(在地板上的死燕子)

由於在乾季糧食不足每對燕子平均蛋的生產量是0.76,平均每一對燕子成功孚出的燕子是0.44%(GAHPEB Aerodromus Species Malaysia)。但是從9月至12月分裏的雨季期間,每對燕子平均蛋的生產量是1.89%和每一對成功孚出的燕子卻是提升到1.32%。燕子可以活成的率在雨季是超過3倍的。在旱季裏母燕子會把一顆或兩顆的蛋從燕窩裏拒絕彈出,把只有一顆或一只小燕子留在燕窩裏,以確保至少一只小燕子生存。它是燕子的父母天性。

(被母燕子拒絕的燕子蛋。粉紅顏色的蛋顯示它們只是在幾個小時前被彈出)

結合熱季在整個馬來西亞,可以繁殖和生存的小燕子的生存機會將會是最受到影響的一個。不要驚訝如果您看到有死燕子和燕子蛋在燕屋農場裏的地板上。在燕窩裏也可能有死燕子。

(另外一個死燕子。氣溫的升高也可以殺害燕子。)

(外面的溫度37度C在下午12點,沙亞南Shah Alam)

甚至提供額外的食物在燕屋農場給燕子也幫不了很大的忙。因爲經常為商業生產的昆蟲並不是100%燕子的主食。95%燕子的食物是飛蟻、 黃蜂和蝣子 (Langham 1980) 而不是果蠅經常被人誤認的,雖然只有5%是果蠅。

可食燕窩的價格已經可以把我們殺死了,現在加上意料不到的熱季,一直可以延遲到9月份的 ... ....還有什麽是我們承受不了的呢?

如果您看不到任何燕窩的增加請不要抱怨,只要它是維持不變就好了。你是否知道,外面有很多人正在經歷燕窩減少和燕子量減少等等。

保持你燕屋農場的屋内環境在控制下並定期檢查它的度數。如果您發現任何變化,一定要立刻採取行動。不要等待!

大家有好的燕屋農場!

HEAT WAVE is Killing Swiftlet Farm

There will be more eggs on the floor of Bh during the low breeding season which is from April to July. This is the period of dry season where food is scarce, looking for insects which is the food of Swiftlet is not easy as the insects breeding and survival rely very much on rain.

During this time the percentage of successful breeding is 59 % or lower while towards the year end which is from Sept to Dec (Raining Season) the successful rate is at 97% (GAHPEB Species Malaysia). From the above information it’s clearly indicated that the wet season is very important and water is the essence of life in Swiftlet farming.  


( Dead Chick on the floor)


Due to the scarcity of food during the dry season the average egg produce per pair of Swiftlet is 0.76 and average nestling raised per pair of Swiftlet is 0.44 % (GAHPEB Aerodromus Species Malaysia). While during the rainy season from Sept to Dec the average egg produce per pair of Swiftlet is 1.89 % and nestling raised per pair is 1.32 %. A surviving rate of more than 3 times during the wet season. During dry season the parent would reject eggs by ejecting one or two from  nest leaving a single egg or a single chick to make sure at least one survive. It is a natural parental instinct of Swiftlets.


 
( Eggs rejected by the parents. Pinkish color shows they just dropped few hours ago)

 Coupled with the Heat Wave across whole Malaysia the breeding and the survival of the chick will be worse affected. Don’t be surprised to see dead chicks and eggs on Bh floor. There will be dead chicks in the nests as well.

 
( Another dead chick. Temperature rises would kill chick.)

 ( Outside Temperature 37 C at Shah Alam at 12 noon)

Even providing extra food for swiftlet in Bh will not help much. As the commonly commercial produced insects in Bh are not the 100% staple food of the Swiftlet. As 95% of the insects consumed by Swiftlet are Flying ants, Wasps and Mayflies ( Langham 1980) not fruit flies which have been mistaken by many, though only selected 5% consist of fruit flies.

The EBN price is already killing us and now another unexpected HEAT WAVE that will last till Sept .....what more can we weather?

If you don't see any increase in Nest please don't complain as long it's maintained. Do you know that many out there are experiencing nest decrease, population reduce, etc.

Keep your Bh micro under control and check the reading periodically. If you discovered any changes take necessary action. Don't wait!

Good Swiftlet Farming All!

貓頭鷹的嘔吐物(顆粒)在燕屋農場

當看到一隻貓頭鷹展開的翅膀有約4尺長飛過我們的頭頂,飛向入口洞時,R先生是很震驚的。我想趕緊拿出我的相機,但是貓頭鷹的速度是非常的快速,就在那分秒之間貓頭鷹飛出那燕屋農場了。


R先生仍然還在顫抖和創傷。他還以爲見到那些不尋常的東西,因為他首先感覺到那翅膀引起的風。當他轉過頭,那只貓頭鷹就在我們正在走向頂樓的面前滑行穿越過。

最後一次參觀的時候,我已經預料到這一點了,但是都還沒有貓頭鷹的跡象。我的感覺和經驗告訴我,它們是在這裡的。那裡燕子屎的斑點還沒有增加,那裏每一天都有許多燕子來玩,而且還有很多已經進入了燕屋農場的。屋内環境的條件是很好的,溫度是28度C就算外面的天氣是非常炎熱,由於熱季所造成。

在這個3層樓的燕屋農場,地層及一樓已經有幾堆的燕子屎了。它顯示燕子可以沒有任何的困難飛到低層了。奇怪的是我們沒有發現任何的燕子屎在二樓(那就是頂層)。

為此,在兩個星期前我已指示了我的工人在所有貓頭鷹經常歇坐的地方安裝尖利的電線(所有的第二個入口洞和做窩的地方)。

通過我的經驗,貓頭鷹經常在(最高)頂樓狩獵及其捕食的。它們很少飛到低層的。頂層是所有燕子飛進和飛出的地方,在這是埋伏是最佳的地點。在頂層沒有發現燕子屎,這就支持了我的終結。貓頭鷹有可能一直停留在頂層。

這只大貓頭鷹在我們的面前飛過就證明了一切,因此,主要的問題是貓頭鷹。這就是阻止燕子停留的問題。較小的出口洞或用鐵枝(鉄花) 就可以把問題解決,防止貓頭鷹進入燕屋農場,但也許會影響到小燕子進入入口孔時。

這是很普通的看見有捕食動物,這就是獨立燕屋農場的問題在種植園地區,這就是為什麼很多人仍然寧願建立燕屋農場在市鎮。除了貓頭鷹,還有其他捕食動物像果子狸、 老鷹、 老鼠、 蛇、 壁虎、等等都是很常見的。我們必須用不同的解決方案來解決所有這些問題。

最後的手段就是安裝鉄花在入口洞。讓我先試試貓頭鷹陷阱,就使用貓頭鷹鉤子吧。我不想這樣做,但是燕屋主堅持。

(貓頭鷹的嘔吐物。如果你看到這些黑色的圓球,那就是説,貓頭鷹已經吃了燕子)

這次我知道貓頭鷹已經呆在燕屋農場好一陣子了。我也敢肯它已經吃了一些飛入燕屋農場的燕子。我在入口洞的下面發現貓頭鷹的嘔吐物(黑色的顆粒)。

那些顆粒通常是包含不被消化的骨骼或之前的獵物。因此,為了要去掉它們通常會擠壓那些'東西'一起以形成球樣。然後貓頭鷹把顆粒吐出來。通過檢查顆粒我們可以知道貓頭鷹吃了什麽。

仔細一看,從有羽毛的黑色顆粒強烈的表示貓頭鷹已經吃了燕子。貓頭鷹已經在這裡足夠長久到可以吐顆粒。它已經把這個燕屋農場當成為它的家了。

(在第二個入口洞的釘子)

在此之前我的承建商在沒有我的同意下安裝了一個燈泡在入口洞。我一直反對這個想法。貓頭鷹可以輕易的在幾天的時間内適應入口孔的燈光,之後它們就不再害怕那燈光了。

在夜間開的燈光對燕屋農場是一個威脅,因爲它吸引昆蟲。蝙蝠和其他飛行的哺乳動物將在這裡狩獵昆蟲,由於大量的昆蟲聚集在夜間。這也會吸引到貓頭鷹,來這裡狩獵飛行的哺乳動物。那入口洞的燈光將成爲所有捕食動物的狩獵場。

(濕度 78%和 28度C的溫度在一個很熱很熱很熱的下午4點。外面的溫度37度C)

那天之後,我打了個電話給一位是從當地的朋友,爲了要了解更多有關貓頭鷹攻擊這個地區的問題。他也有一個燕屋農場在這裡,獨立的3層樓燕屋農場。他也面對同樣的問題。根據他這一區是貓頭鷹的天堂。他說"你可以看到貓頭鷹的機會比看到貓和狗更多"。

他說一些甚至發現貓頭鷹的窩在燕屋農場内。這絕對是瘋狂的。不管它是什麼,我要解決這個問題-貓頭鷹。我會隨時更新大家如何擺脫貓頭鷹。

OWL VOMIT ( PELLET) in Swiftlet Farm

Mr. R was totally shocked when he saw an Owl with the wind span about 4 ft flew right above us heading towards the Entrance hole. I was trying to grab my camera but the Owl was faster within spilt second the Owl was out of the Bh.

Mr.R was still shaking and traumatized. He thought it was something paranormal as he had felt the wind caused by the wings first. Then as he turns his head the Owl Just glided thru in front of us while we were making our way to the top floor.

The last visit I had anticipated this, but there were no sign of Owl. My guts feeling and experience tell me that they are here. The birds shit spots haven’t increased, there were many birds playing every day many had entered the Bh.  The Micro condition is good, the temperature is 28C even the weather was extremely hot caused by the Heat wave.

The ground floor and the first floor of this 3 storeyBh have few patches of birds’ shits. It shows that birds could fly to the ground floor without any difficulty. The strange thing was we found no birds shits on the second floor (top floor).

Because of this, two weeks ago  I had instructed my workers to install wire spikes on all places where Owls often perch (all the second Entrance holes to the all nesting areas).

Thru my experience Owls often hunt their preys on the top (highest) floor. They rarely fly to the ground floor. The top floor is where the birds enter and exit so this is the best place to ambush. No birds shit spots sign on the top floor supported my findings. The Owl might have stayed on the top floor.

With the big Owl flying right in front of us justified everything, so the main problem is Owl. This is what preventing the birds from staying. A small entrance hole or one with iron bars (grill) would have done the job preventing Owls from entering the Bh but it will also affect young birds when maneuvering to enter the Entrance hole.

It is common to have Predator’ problem with Standalone at Plantation area that is why many still prefer to build Bh in Town area. Besides Owl other Predators like Musang, Eagle, Rats, Snake, Gecko, etc are common too. We have to solve all these problems and every each with different solutions.

Last resort is to install Iron grill at the Entrance hole. Let me try to trap the Owl first by using the Owl Hooks. I wouldn't want to do this but the owner insisted.


( Owl Vomit. If you see this in Bh that means Owl had eaten Swiftlets)

This time I knew the Owl had stayed in the Bh for quite a while. I am sure he had eaten some of the Swiftlets that have entered the Bh. I found an Owl Vomit (pellet) which is black color below the Entrance Hole.

The Pellet usually consists of things that have not been digested like bones of previous prey. So, to get rid of them, the undigested 'stuff' kind of squishes together to form a ball-like figure. The Owl upchuck the pellet by spiting it out. By examining the Pellet one could tell what the Owl had eaten.

From a closer look, the black colored Pellet with feathers strongly indicated the Owl had eaten Swiftlets. The Owl has been in the Bh for long enough to vomit the Pellet. He must have taken this Bh as his home.

( Spikes at the Second Entrance Hole)

Prior to this my contractor had installed a light bulb at the Entrance hole without consulting me. I had always opposed to this idea. Owl could adapt to the light of the Entrance Hole in just couple of days, after that they are not afraid of the light anymore.

 Light that is switched on during the night is a threat to the Bh, it attracts insects. Bat and other flying mammals hunt insects here due to the large number of insect congregate during the night. This attracts the Owl which in turns hunts for the flying mammals. The Entrance Hole with light will become a hunting ground for all Predators.


( Humidity 78% & Temperature 28C at 4pm on a very very hot day. Outside Temperature 37C)

Later that day I called a friend who is from here to find out more about Owl attack in this area. He has a Bh here, a 3 storey Standalone. He is facing the same problem. According to him this area is an Owl heaven. He said “you are more likely to see Owls than dog and cat”.

He said some Bhs even found  Owl nests in them. That is absolutely crazy. Well no matter what it is I have to solve this Owl problem. I shall keep you all up dated with how to get rid of the Owl.

如何可以消滅木板上的霉菌

霉菌和青苔是燕屋農場的增長的最大威脅之一。一旦木板被感染上燕子都不能在木板上作燕窩。受感染的木板有粉狀的表面,使燕子的唾液很難黏在木板上。燕子們通常會避免這些木板然而會尋找那些沒有霉菌的。


經常霉菌和青苔是由一小片開始的(一堆) 如果不受控制,它們會蔓延到整個燕屋農場裏所有的木板上。它們是微小活著的植物而且是有花的。噴霧機噴出的水蒸氣把他們的種子散佈到其他的木板。從這裡真菌會增長到新的木板上。

當你看到有霉菌的跡象在木板上,你必須趕快要把它消滅,即使是一小片。因爲就算是一小片,它也可以蔓延至其他木板,由於濕度的增加,最終會影響所有的木板。

新的LP霉菌和青苔消滅劑是燕窩的好友和可以安全的在燕屋農場内使用。它是沒有毒性的。

它也是可以作爲抗細菌、 防菌、 抗微生物。

這個新的LP霉菌和青苔消滅劑是通過美國強大的Nano生物技術專門制定的。它有效地去除霉菌、 黴菌、 藻類、 真菌和苔蘚的斑點在所有燕屋農場的木板上。它還可以消毒,而不會損壞任何表面。它適合於所有類型的表面。

100%可分解及 無臭味。

保護您的燕屋農場,也就是保護您的投資。

How To Kill Fungus On Nesting Planks.

Fungus and Mold is one of the biggest threats to the growth of Bh. Once the Nesting Planks are infected Swiftlet are unable to build nests on Planks. The infected planks have powdery surface, making it hard for the Saliva of the birds to stick onto the planks. Birds often avoid these planks and look for those that are fungus free.

Often fungus and mold started off with small patches (colonies) if uncontrolled they will spread to all Nesting Planks in the Bh. They are small living plants which have flowers. As the humidifier pushes up the humidity water vapors bring theirs seeds to other planks. From here the Fungus would grow on new planks.


When you see signs of fungus on planks you have to get rid of it even a small patch. The small patch will spread to other planks as the humidity increases eventually all nesting planks would be affected.





The New LP Fungus & Mold Killer is Swiftlet friendly and safe to be used in Bh. It is NONE TOXIC.


It works as an ANTI Bacterial, ANTI Fungal and ANTI Microbial.

The New LP Fungus and Mold Killer is specially formulated through powerful USA Nano-Biotechnology. It effectively removes Fungus stain of mold, mildew, algae, fungi and moss on Nesting Planks of all Swiftlets Farms. It also disinfects and sterilizes the area without damaging the surfaces. It is good for all types of surfaces.

100% BIODEGRADABLE and ODORLESS.

Protect your Swiftlet farms means protecting your Investment.

獨特的燕屋農場 - 到處都有可能

我們已經看過酒店被改換為燕屋農場,我們也看到電影院被改換為燕屋農場,我們也看過購物商場被改換為燕屋農場。學校被改換為燕屋農場您有看過嗎?我想一定是沒有吧。


是這樣的: 我正在Port Dickson 的路途上為我讀者的燕屋農場的設立音響系統,我在 Lukut 看到這個。也許那些從這裡的人並不覺得它有什麼特別,但對對於那些從未見過這樣的人,這可能是很獨特或目瞪口呆的經驗。

(建立于1964 年)

我想這一定是一所被遺棄或不再使用的舊學校。但是這個建築物的狀況仍然看起來還是很好的。它是一個3層樓的建築物,整個2樓已經是燕屋農場了。

(學校的大門)

(一所很大的學校)

(這一邊使用天井的入口洞)

(仔細看看那火箭筒和六角形的高音揚聲器)

(學校的食堂)

甚至食堂也不放過。它有一個狗洞在它的頂部。入口洞已經被封了。我想燕屋主發現燕子不喜歡從這裡飛入的。

(燕子的塗鴉在牆壁上)

使它更糟糕,難怪燕子不喜歡這個入口洞,因爲入口洞的牆上的塗鴉。我看過許多失敗的燕屋農場,類似的畫在牆壁上。請避免畫這些 燕子的畫像在入口洞。這些畫像會把燕子嚇得多個吸引它們來。

燕子是一種很聰明和有智慧的鳥類,它們不會輕易的上當。它們比你想象的更聰明。

(一個兩層樓,都在同一個範圍)

(從這個大樓的長度看來,這個燕屋農場是很巨大的)

這是不是一個很獨特的燕屋農場?現在你知道每個人都可以做燕屋農場,而卻到處都可能。

享受這些照片。

Unique Swiftlet Farm - Everywhere Is Possible

We have seen Hotels converted into Swiftlet farm, We have seen Cinemas as well, we have seen Shopping complexes converted into Swiftlet farm. Have you seen a School being converted into Swiftlet farm? I guess not.

Here it is, as I was on my way to P.Dickson to set up the sound system for my reader's Bh  I saw this in Lukut. Well for those who are from here it seems nothing special but for those who have never seen this before this might be something unique or jaw dropping experience.

( Dated 1964)

I guess this must be an old school which had been deserted or no longer in use. But the condition of the building still looks good. It is a 3 storey building and the whole 2nd floor is Swiftlet farming.

( The main gate of the School)

( a big school)

( This side is using the Open Roof entrance)

( a closer look at the Bazooka and Hexagonal Tweeter)

( the canteen of the school)

Even the canteen is not spared. It has a Dog Kennel on top of it. The entrance hole had been sealed off. I guess the owner had discovered that  birds don't like to fly in from here. 

(Birds Graffiti on the wall)

Making it worse, no wonder bird don't like this entrance because of the graffiti on the wall of the entrance hole. I have seen many failed farms with similar painting on its walls. Please avoid painting all these birdy things at the entrance hole. It scares the birds more than attracting them.

Swiftlets are smart and intelligent birds, they won't be easily fooled. They are smarter than you may have thought.

( a double storey, all in the same compound)

( judgeing from the length of the building this Bh is huge)

Isn't it a unique Swiftlet farm? Now you know everyone can do Swiftlet farming and everywhere is possible.

Enjoy the pictures.

有史以來最大,最獨特和最昂貴的燕屋農場 - 越南

這是上周我在越南去的許多地方之一,那就是Dai Nam仙境公園。如果您是在胡志明市,它就是您必訪問之地。


是一個假期和戶外活動與娛樂的壯觀地方。它不僅吸引了許多遊客,但也吸引了燕子。那是真的。這些燕子對昂貴的建築物和巨大的投資有獨特的高尚品味。

(Dai Nam仙境公園的入口)

Dai Nam仙境公園旅遊區是在越南的Binh Duong省。在 2008 年 9 月 11 日開幕的,Dai Nam旅遊-文化歷史區域包括及東南亞最大的人工海灘,還有越南第一個的野生動物園,預計在2010 年它將是全國最大的公園和旅遊勝地。

Dai Nam海灘是 21.6 公頃,總水面面積 是20,000 平方米的和 1.4 公里長的海岸。人工海有海灘,與人工海浪高達 1.6 米。最大的旅遊景點開始大約在1999 年建設在一個450 公頃大的土地上,大約離胡志明市40 公里的地方。這個天堂現在包括Dai Nam Van Hien寺、 一個娛樂站、 動物園、 購物區、 酒店、 和美食天堂。那個12.5公頃的開放式動物園也是Dai Nam Lac Canh娛樂區在 450公頃的一部分。這個公園也是犀牛、 白獅子、 老虎、 大象、 熊、 鴕鳥、 麂皮、 斑馬、 格努斯、 松鼠-猴子和狐狸的家,其中有許多通常不在越南可以找到的動物。

Dai Nam Van Hien,一個龐大的旅遊綜合體在越南南部,在Binh Duong省 2008 年 9 月 11 日開幕。Dai Nam旅遊-文化歷史區預計在2010 年將會是在全國最大的公園和旅遊目的地。這個地區大約是 450 公頃,位於Thu Dao one, inh Doung,遠離胡志明約50 公里的地方。Dai Nam公園是一個巨大的城堡,包括購物中心、 酒店、 影院、 主題公園、 野營、 水上公園、 動物園、 和眾多的寺廟。它建設Dai Nam的費用大約是越南幣 3,000 億。Dai Nam Van Hien看起來好像是一個小長城。公園是這麼大,員工們必需用車及電動火車來行動。那個開放式的 12.5 公頃動物園是 450公頃的Lac Canh Van Hien一部分。有各種各樣的驚險遊樂專案如輥滑冰和騎自行車。

人造洞穴

5.000 平方米的廟寺並不好象在Hue的主廟,但是也非常地令人印象深刻,特別是蓮花形標誌塔還有13.5 公里的圍牆,還有那5,000個房間的酒店。外面是Bao Son,一個 63 米高、 250 米長,是越南最大的人造山。那五座山峰和Bao Thap Tower 是小型的Ngu Hunh Son 山在Da Nang中央海岸。

在Bao Thap Tower內部有九個主題的祭壇,一個在每個層,奉祀該國的創始人和之後的英雄,如胡志明、 陳興道和 waeeioe 姐妹夫人從 12-43年AD。

(牆壁的後面是燕屋農場。長度有幾公里。是最近被轉換為燕屋農場的。)

(水噴頭到處都是。創建一個濕濕的環境)。

人造山和洞穴有5個高峰的是這裡最有趣的景點之一。它是爲了讓遊客有洞穴環境的感覺而建的。不幸的是或者我應該說幸運的是,燕子已經決定留下來,而在這些 (人造) 的人造洞穴內的作窩。

這裡的主人看到了燕子在這裡的潛力,並把它變成燕屋農場。

(一個很壯觀的風景。這就是所謂的寧靜)

(燕子在山上盤旋)

這是一個沒有預料到的投資,這裡的主人沒有想到人造洞穴能吸引這麼多的燕子。這是非常好的運氣。現在遊客再也不應許進入這些洞穴裡,它一直被封鎖。人造山和洞穴的周圍裡有幾個寶塔和廟宇,那些靠近洞穴的也被改裝成燕屋農場。

(甚至寶塔也轉換成燕屋農場)

(吸引燕子的火箭筒)

我想這裡的主人根本沒有想到燕屋農場,這個公園的用途是為旅遊而建立的,但是燕屋農場是一份驚喜。我想這裡的主人看到投資的回報,可食燕窩的回報比旅遊是更大的,因此他作出這一個舉動。

這些人造山和洞穴裡看起來非常自然、 還很真實。它有很多的樹木種植在山谷及懸崖上,使它看起來很真實。我想很多人不會注意到這一點,而且許多人可能認為這是真正自然的山水洞穴。

(許多的入口洞之一)

(好像洞穴的入口洞)

(被掩飾的入口洞與高音揚聲器)


(流進洞裡的小流)


(池塘圍繞著群山和洞穴)


它的大小和所涉及的巨額投資,我可以自信地說這是最大、 最昂貴有史以來被建立的燕屋農業規模。


水噴頭和噴泉都被安裝在所有高山的頂部來降低內部的溫度,並且創造一個類似濕式的石灰石洞穴環境。還有人造池塘和小溪通過地下通道流進洞穴裏。它是那麽的接近和相似天然洞穴的環境,難怪可以吸引那麽多的燕子。目前這個人造山和洞穴在越南是最成功的一個燕屋農場。


(陰陽調和還有好風水的地方。有山有水)


(其中三座的五座山)


(另一個新的燕屋農場,精確地應該是"燕屋農場")


(那個長城也是燕屋農場)


(這些都是燕屋農場)


所以下次如果你到越南,確保您去Dai Nam仙境公園。

The Largest, Most Unique and Most Expensive Swiftlet Farm Ever - Vietnam

This is one of the many places I had visited while I was in Vietnam last week, the Dai Nam Wonderland Park. It is a must visit place if you are in Ho Chi Minh City.

A spectacular place for vacation and recreation with many outdoor activities. It's not only attracted many tourists but also Swiftlets. That is true. These Swiftlets really have the taste for expensive buildings and heavily invested structures.

(The Entrance of The Dai Nam Wonderland Park)



Dai Nam Wonderland is a tourism complex in Binh Duong, Vietnam. Open on September 11th, 2008, Dai Nam Tourist - Cultural - Historical Zone includes the first safari in Vietnam and the largest artificial sea in Southeast Asia and is expected to be the biggest park and tourist destination in the country by 2010.

Đại Nam Sea is 21.6 hectare, with a total water surface area of 20,000 sq.m and coast of 1.4 km long. The artificial sea has beaches, with artificial waves up to 1.6m high.
The construction of the largest tourism site started in about 1999, on a 450 hectare plot of land, some 40 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. The Paradise now includes the Dai Nam Van Hien Temple, an entertainment site, zoo, shopping area, hotels, and cuisine sites. The 12.5ha open zoo is part of the 450ha Lac Canh Dai Nam Van Hien Entertainment Complex. The park is home to rhinos, white lions, tigers, elephants, bears, ostriches, chamois, zebras, gnus, squirrel-monkeys, and foxes, many of which are not typically found in Viet Nam.

Dai Nam Van Hien, a huge tourism complex in the southern Vietnam, was opened on September 11, 2008 in Binh Duong Province. Dai Nam Tourist - Cultural - Historical Zone is expected to be the biggest park and tourist destination in the country by 2010. This area is about 450 hectares located in Thu Dau one, inh Duong about 50 Kilometer away from HCMC. Dai Nam Park is a huge complex, encompassing a shopping center, hotel, movie theater, theme park, campground, water park, zoo, and numerous temples. Its cost for building Dai Nam about VND 3,000 billion. Dai Nam Van Hien looks like a small great wall. The park is so large that people get around by bus and electric train. The 12.5 ha open zoo is part of 450ha Lac Canh Van Hien. An assortment of thrilling rides such as the roller skating and biking.

Manmade Caves
The 5.000 square-meter temple isn't an exact copy of the main temple in Hue but it's still impressive with its lotus-shaped flag tower and 13.5 kilometer wall that also encloses a 5.000 room hotel. Outside is Bao Son which at 63 meters tall and 250 meters in length, is the biggest man-made mountain in VietNam. The five peaks and the Bao Thap Tower are a scales-down version of Ngu Hanh Son Mountain in Da Nang on the central coast.

Inside Bao Thap Tower are nine theme-based altars, one on each level, to venerate the country's founders and later heroes and heroines like HO Chi Minh, Tran Hung Dao and the waeeioe sisters Hai Ba Trung, who lived from 12-43 AD.

( Behind the walls are Swiftlet Farms. Stretched more than few Kilometer in lenght. Recently converted into Swiftlet Farm.)

( Water sprinklers are everywhere. To create a wet humid environment.)

The Man-made Mountains and caves with 5 peaks is one of the most interesting attractions here. It was built for tourists to have a feel of the cave environment. Unfortunately or should I say fortunately Swiftlets had decided to stay and make nests inside these (artificial) Man-made caves.  
The owner saw the potential of Swiftlets farming here and turn it into Swiftlet farms.

(An Astonishing view. This is tranquility)

(Birds circling above the Mountain)

It was an unplanned investment and the owner had never expected that the man made caves could attract so many Swiftlets. It was sheer luck. Now visitors are no longer allowed to enter these caves and it had been cordoned off. Around the Man-made Mountains and caves there are few Pagodas and temples, those that are closer to the Caves had been converted into Swiftlet Farms as well.

( Even the Pagoda is converted in Swiftlet farm)

( Bazooka to attract Birds)

I think the owner had never thought of Swiftlet farming, This Park was built for tourism purposes and Swiftlet farming came in as a surprise. I guess the owner see the return on invest is greater on Edible Birds Nests than Tourism therefore he made this move.

These Man-made Mountain and Caves look very natural and real. It has trees planted all over the valleys and cliffs to make them look real. I think many would have not noticed this and for some they may think these are real natural Mountains and caves

( One of the many Entrance Holes)

( Cave like Entrance Hole)

( Camoflaged Entrance Hole with Tweeters)

( Small Stream that flows into the cave)

( Ponds Surrounding the Mountains and Caves.)

With its size and the huge investment involved, I can confidently say this is the largest and most expensive Swiftlet farm ever built in the Swiftlet farming History.

Water sprinklers and fountains were installed on all peaks of the mountains to cool down the internal temperature and to create a similar wet limestone cave environment. There are man-made ponds and streams that flow into the caves through underground passages. It is getting so close and similar to natural cave environment no wonder it attracts so many birds. Currently this man-made Mountains and Caves is one of the most successful Swiftlet farms in Vietnam

( A good balance of Ying and Yang and good Feng Shui. Mountain and Water)

( Three of the Five Mountains)

( Another new Mountain. "To be precised  BH" )

(The Great Wall is also Swiftlet farm)

( All these are Swiftlet farms)

So next time if you do visit Vietnam, make sure you visit the Dai Nam Wonderland Park.  

Good Swiftlet farming All!

我越南的燕屋农场讲座会 (HCMC)

这次到越南是一个愉快的旅程。在这里我要感謝從越南的代理、 朋友和讀者,他们使我留下了一個令人難忘的逗留。這是一個很繁忙的旅程,但是他們熱烈的歡迎和他們對學習的熱情使我忙碌和累人的行程,变成一個令我愉快的。




(从航空視圖的三角洲)



如果我的預測是對的,越南将有可能成为取代目前正在生產可食燕窝的所有其他國家,在最近的未来成为這地區最大的可食燕窝生产国。



由于它的地理區域,它的自然環境與許多河流、 三角洲和平坦的土地,無疑越南是東南亞地區做燕窩養殖的最佳地方之一。



(显示如何有效的使用Love Potion)



越南現在最需要的就是有好的燕窩養殖技能。這裡的燕屋农场都不是做的很对的,由於对一個好的燕屋农场的構建和設計缺乏瞭解。在我的讲座時提出的問題表示那裡的燕屋主仍有需要學習很多東西。參加我的讲座大部分的人都不是新手,他們都是燕屋主和一些甚至是先驅者。他们都是Love Potion的长期用户。他們想要改善他们的燕屋农场到一个更高的程度。



(一个友好的環境来問題及答案)



甚至一些很简陋的燕屋农场都可以吸引許多的燕子,如果是建的好的燕屋农场那就更了不起了?



他们仍然有很多东西需要學習。我希望我能帮到他們,和教导他們正確的方法来做燕屋农场。



那个講座是在一個美麗的地方舉行的,在胡志明市有良好的綠色環境,那就是越南所拥有美丽的园林,也是燕屋农场理想的地方。我沒想到這麼多人將出席這個講座,直到我到達那个會場,因為这次的讲座都是由我的代理人所安排的。



这个讲座是关于"如何有效地使用Love Potion和燕子的声音"最終却谈到更多的主題,從設計到內部的环境控制,而我是非常確信所有出席讲座的人都带着一個燦爛的笑容回家。



(完全的投入,他們不想錯過任何事情)

我顯示了如何有效的使用Love Potion尤其是使用的技術,並解釋在燕屋农场里什么是可以使用,什麼是不可以使用。过了好幾個小時,直到我不得不停下來,慢下來,因为我要让我的翻譯趕的上。



問答會話更是一個有趣的,许多的問題都是寫在紙上,而且还是很多很多的堆上來。他們知道我不明白越南语,所以所有的問題都是寫在纸上。直到我必須限制提上來的問題为止,因為我們沒有太多的時間。我向所有出席讲座會的人在此道歉,我已經答應了他們,我不久會再回來的,繼續连接我们没谈完的地方。



這个講座會的反應是非常的熱烈,他們要我再囘來。一位出席者對我說,"James 我花了這麼多的錢到处到国外的研討會去学习,但是學會的却那麼少。您今天所教導的却是無價的,我們學会了很多"。



我告訴他們下一次的讲座會是更多关于燕屋农场技術的方面。它將涵蓋從 A 到 Z。我們將会谈到燕子需要多少度的迴旋前才可以进入燕屋农场。這將有助所有出席者理解它的飛行路徑,反過來説可以帮助他們設計更好的燕屋农场。

從他們所問的問題,很明显地表明他们仍然有很多的事情,他們需要學習的而我将會盡力教导,和協助他們。



大家有好的燕屋农场!

My Swiftlet Farming Talk in Vietnam (HCMC)

It was a good trip to Vietnam. I would like to thank my agent, friends and readers from Vietnam for making my stay a memorable one. It was a hectic trip but their warm welcome and their eagerness to learn had turned my hectic tiring trip into an enjoyable one.

If my prediction is right Vietnam could potentially replace all other countries currently producing Edible Birds Nests to be the largest in this region in near future.

Given the geographical area it located, its natural environment with many rivers, deltas and flat lands, no doubt Vietnam is one of the best places in South East Asia to do Swiftlet farming.

(Demonstrate how to Use Love Potion effectively)

What Vietnam needs now is a good Swiftlet farming Skill to make it works. Many Bhs here are not properly made due to the lack of understanding on how to build and design a good Swiftlet farm. The questions asked during my talk indicated that there are still many things the Bh owners there needs to learn. Most who had attended my talks are not new comers, they’re owners of swiftlet farms and some are pioneers. There are the regular users of Love Potion. They want to improve their Bhs to a greater height.

( a friendly environment for question & answer)

Even shabby built Bh could attract many birds what more if a good Bh is built there?

There are still lots to be learned. I hope I could assist them and teach them the right way to do Swiftlet farming.


The talk was held at a beautiful place in Ho Chi Minh City with good green environment that is what Vietnam landscaping is ideal for swiftlet farming. I didn’t expect so many people would attend this talk until I arrived at the venue because my agent is the one who arranged it.

The talk on “How to Use Love Potion Effectively and Swiftlet Sound” eventually went into more topics from Bh design to internal micro control which I am very sure all attendees went back with a big smile on their faces.


( Full concentration, they wouldn't want to miss a thing )

I demonstrated how to use Love Potion especially the technique of using and explained what could be use in Bh and what can’t be used.  This goes on for hours until I have to stop and slow down for my translator to catch up on the translation.

( Replying to all questions in detail )
The Q & A session was an interesting one, many questions written on paper came in stacks. They knew I don’t understand Vietnamese so all questions were written on papers. At one point I have to limit the question because we were running out of time. My apology to all attendees for this, I had promised them that  I will come back again soon to continue where and what we had left behind.

It was an overwhelming response and they wanted me to come again. One attendee told me “James I had spent so much money traveling to oversee for seminars but learned so little.  What you have taught us today is invaluable and we learn so much”.

I told them the next time it would be more on technical aspect of Swiftlet farming. It would cover from A to Z .We will go into how many degree a swiftlet needs to take to maneuver before entering the Bh. This would help all attendees to understand the flying path which in turn helps them to design a good Swiftlet farm.

From the questions they ask, it’s clearly indicated there are still many things they need to learn and I would do my best to teach and assist them.

Good Swiftlet Farming All!
