無論大小，這可是我見過的最大火箭筒。它的長度幾乎是環繞區的一半。尺寸的大小真的那麽重要嗎？這是值得懷疑的。如果從火箭筒播放出來的聲音不具吸引力，那麽不管火箭筒有多大，還是沒用的。
聲音的品質才是最重要的，這意味著我們需要良好的聲音，在我們的燕屋而不是響度。
我在我去瓜拉雪蘭莪的路上看到這個的。這絕對是一個DIY的火箭筒。您不可能在市場上買到這個尺寸。我不知道誰會買它如果可以在市場上找的到。
品質與響度，品質贏。
他們應該安裝火箭筒更加靠近入口洞。看來火箭炮是位於狗洞的後面。它吸引更多的燕子在狗洞的後面而不是入口洞。如果我是燕屋主，我就不會這樣做。
我們要燕子在入口洞的周圍玩，隨後飛進燕屋農場的入口洞，而不是在入口洞的後面。
通過觀察火箭筒的位置，它顯示這個燕屋農場希望從這個方向吸引到燕子的。這是一個紅樹林區域，燕子們聚集和發揮的地方。定位是正確的，但是火箭筒應該更加靠近入口洞。
大家有好的燕屋農場。

Big Bazooka To Attract Swiftlets
By any sizes this is the largest Bazooka I had ever seen. It is almost half the length of the roving.
Does size matters? Well it is questionable. If the sound that comes out from the Bazooka is not attractive then no matter how big the Bazooka is, it is useless.
Quality sound is much important, that means we need good sound in our Swiftlet farm not loudness.
I saw this while on my way to Kuala Selangor. This is definitely a DIY Bazooka. You can not get this size in the market. I wonder who would buy it if it is available it the market.
Quality versus Loudness, quality wins.
They should have installed the Bazooka nearer to the entrance hole. It seems that the Bazooka is located at the back of the Dog Kennel. It would attract more birds to play at the back of the Dog Kennel instead at the Entrance hole. I wouldn’t do this if I am the owner.
We want the birds to play around the entrance hole subsequently diving into the farm not at the back of the entrance hole.
By observing the position of the Bazooka it show that this Swiftlet farm wants to attract birds from the side. That is the mangrove area where birds congregate and play. The positioning is right but the Bazooka should be placed nearer to the entrance hole.
Good Swiftlet farming All.

態度！
我在部落格裏提供免費的養燕資訊、 技術、 秘密，到現在已經將近五年的時間了。
儘管如此，這還是不足以滿足一些人，他們認為我是有責任這樣做的。
幾天前，一位讀者在早上7.30am左右的時候打電話給我。我通常不會那麼早接聽來電的。不知怎麼的，我卻接通了這個電話。我猜運氣是在他那邊，而不是我。
"你好，我想知道如何可以擺脫貓頭鷹在我的燕屋農場？"
我回答說 "我認識你嗎？我可以知道是誰在綫上嗎？"
"哦，你不認識我。我有讀你的部落格和我想要知道如何可以擺脫貓頭鷹在我的燕屋農場。"
"我可以知道你的名字嗎？"
"不，你不需要知道我的名字。只要告訴我如何擺脫貓頭鷹就可以了。"
這傢伙是瘋了，我告訴自己。你連你的名字都不能透露，卻義務要我來指導你？
他沒有禮貌，甚至不說："嗨, James，或者，James，早上好。"
在我多年的經驗，我遇到所有各種各樣的燕屋主，這種的態度往往與失敗燕屋農場有相關聯。
為了證明我是對的，我繼續這段談話，而不是把它簡短。於是，我問他燕屋農場的狀況。我很想知道他的燕屋農場有多麼的失敗。所以我向他發問一下。
"您的燕屋農場有多少的燕窩？"
"哦，不是很多啦。"他的答覆
"請定義一下不多是多少？"
現在，再次向他發問......
"哦，少過10個燕窩。"
"少過10個燕窩，做了多少年？"
"哦.......有幾年啦......"
所以我是對的，超對的。我豐富的經驗不但幫助我了解燕子，也了解燕屋主的行為，並且是被證明的。
即使擁有良好的知識和技能，可以幫助您在燕屋農場裏成功，但它還涉及的態度，純粹的態度。
它適用于所有的企業。燕屋農場也不是一種業務嗎？你收穫燕窩，然後賣。
燕屋農場的技能和知識 + 態度 = 成功。
大家有好的燕屋農場。

AttiTude!
I have provided free swiftlet information, techniques, secrets, etc on my blog for almost five years now.
Still, that is not enough to satisfy some and they believed that I am obligated to do it.
Few days ago, a reader called me on a very early morning around 7.30am. I don’t usually answer calls that early. Somehow, I answered this particular call. I guess luck was on his side, not mine.
“Hello, I want to know how to get rid of owls in my BH?”
I replied “Do I know you? May I know who this is on the line?”
“Oh, you don’t know me. I read your blog and I want to know how to get rid of owls from my Swiftlet farm.”
“May I know your name?”
“No, you don’t need to know my name. Just tell me how to get rid of owls.”
This guy is crazy, I told myself. How am I obligated to guide you when you can’t even reveal your name?
He did not even have the courtesy of saying “Hello, James or good morning James.”
With my experience of encountering all sort of Swiftlet farmers over my years in Swiftlet farming, this kind of attitudes are often associated with failed farms.
To prove that I am right, I continued the conversation rather than cutting it short. So I asked him about the conditions of his Bh. I was eager to know how badly his Bh failed. So I prompted him about it.
“How many nests are there in your BH?”
“Oh, not many lah.” He replied
“Please define not many?”
Now, I prompted him again….
“Oh, less than 10 nests.”
“Less than 10 nests in how many years?”
“Oh …few years lah…”
So I was right, damn right. My vast experiences had helped me not only to understand birds but also the Swiftlet farmers’ behavior and were proven.
Even though having good knowledge and skills in swiftlet farming would help but in order to be successful it also involves attitude, pure attitude.
It applies to all businesses. Isn’t Swiftlet farming is also a business? Where you harvest the nests and sell them.
Swiftlet farming’s skill & Knowledge + Attitude = Success.
Good swiftlet farming all.
