Many years ago a friend had asked me, "James why do we
need such a thick and strong Iron door. Anyway who wants to break into a new
Swiftlet farm that has no nests?"
I have thought about that for a while, but I stick to my
principle of prevention better than cure. The thick and Mega iron door is
actually for psychological effect. If the thieves wanted to break in they could
but the Mega door brings down their confidence.
After spending many years in this field and seeing
uncountable break-in, mega door really has its advantages. Most break-in that I
have seen are those with simple thin Iron doors that similar to those that
built for houses.
These pictures were taken
from a Swiftlet farm not far from where I was doing a farm visiting..
The ring latch should be welded from the inside to prevent the cutter from
reaching. There should also be a square metal plate to protect the rings, but
all these were not done.
While I was driving pass I saw the door opened. I stopped, I
thought there was somebody inside, perhaps the owner. To my surprise there
wasn't anybody inside.
All Amplifiers were stolen. The whole farm was ransacked.
The wiring was not spared. They are after the copper wire. The only thing
left was the tweeter. I guess it was too high for them to reach.
Only the bowls of the humidifier were left. I guess the
thieves were in the hurry. I am sure the plastic bowls can be sold too as plastic fetches good price too.
There are no nests in this farm other than some bird
droppings. They are all harden up. The
birds had left.
Either the owner didn't know that his farm has been broken
into or he couldn't be bothered as this is a failed farm.
By looking at the design who wants this farm? I don't
think birds like it. There are so many
pillars in it. It is too bright. There are so many errors in this Swiftlet farm.
I better leave after taking some pictures. It is not right
to enter other peoples' farm without permission.
It was sad that I couldn't inform the owner.
Good Swiftlet farming All!
THE REAL POWER OF INCREASING NESTS, USE LOVE POTION!
