TOO MANY SWIFTLETS INSIDE. HOW TO HARVEST?


I was on my way to my warehouse, the lorry driver was expecting me as I have some shipments to deliver to the South. My phone rings...and rings. I don't usually answer it as I have a few times booked for this.

It keeps ringing...I pulled my car over and answer. I told myself it better be an important call.

"James I have a big problem here. I can't  harvest the nests in my Swiftlet farm. I've only managed to harvest them twice this year. Could you help me please?"

"Aiyooooo..."

"Yes Mr. T ...if you cannot harvest this month then harvest next month.. lah. What is the problem? ".

"No.. James whenever I go inside my Swiftlet farm the are so many birds inside".

"That is usual lah Mr.T ..I m sure there are few birds inside"

"No,  James ...there are hundreds of them inside, not just a few. Some birds knocked on me and dropped on the floor. I have never seen it like this before. Before it wasn't like this. Ever since I used your Swiftlet sounds there is no one time there no birds inside....so how to harvest?"

"Wow...Mr.T..that is wonderful...how many nests does your Bh has now?"

"Before I changed the sound it has about 200 plus nests ...now after a year it has 500 plus nests. There are so many birds inside totally crowded. James I also discovered that after using your sound the size of the eggs is bigger compare to last time.

Wow........really.....?

Yes,  James I am not joking here ..... I have harvested it before I know it.. You don't laugh at me.

It is no exaggerating. In fact,  this is what he told me. I am really happy for Mr. T. I have asked Mr.T to record a video and email to me. Hopefully in these few weeks I would get it. Once I have it I will post it here. He is using Love Potion combined with B-52 and P9-Havoc.  He is not the first to have experienced this it happened to many Swiftlet farms that use the combined LP & B52 technique.

Since we are talking about harvesting it would be useful to to know some of the things and steps that needed to be done before entering your farm.

Things you need to do before you enter to do the harvesting :

1) Best Harvesting time  10.00 am - 2.00 pm 

2) Switched off all sounds both Ext and Int 

3) Wait 20-30 minutes before entering the Farm.

4) Do not enter in a big group. One by one interval of 10 minutes each. 

5) Keep all doors closed once you are inside 

6) Never harvest on a raining day

7) Avoid wearing bright colored shirt

8) Use a flash light with warm light type bulb (Not Bright day light type, birds will bang on it)

 8) After every  harvest spray farm with Love Potion to increase nests growth.

That is really a very good news from Mr.T. Indeed that is Not a problem at all.


Good Swiftlet farming All!
