TRULY A NO FIRE NO SMOKE CASE

When it comes to Swiftlet farming we have to be very careful. There are lots of things or I call it “the Pantang things”  we should avoid from doing.. There is no turning back once it had been done. Some are so severe that it killed the whole farm.Birds totally abandon the farm. Some take years for  only a few birds to return to nest. Some never recuperated and the farm eventually becomes a ghost house of birds.

I believe many farmers are actually doing these “Pantang things “ without even realizing that they are killing their own farms. This is the result of poor knowledge in Swiftlet farming. Can’t blame them I guess if they know what they are doing  they wouldn’t have done it.

I customer of mine complained about the poor performance of his Swiftlet farm which located in Pahang. A 3 storey stand alone located in a plantation with plenty of vegetation. It has operated for more than a year now but only has 40 nests. His friend’s standalone built later not far away  has more than 200 nests.

He told me, “James maybe I have no luck..maybe luck has not come yet”.

I told him there is no magic in Swiflet farming. All the things we do will eventually show results either good or bad.

I told him there must be something you have done that might have affected the growth. He disagrees with me, he said the standalone was built by a well known consultant.

It seems all the birds stayed on the 2^nd floor and none even dare to fly to the ground floor. I haven’t visited his Swiftlet farm so I couldn’t comment much because it would be biased if I did so.

But I know something is not right. I asked him, did he put something in his farm, any predators? Also ….How are the temperature and humidity?…etc…blah..blah..

As usual all Swiftlet farmers would reply “all are fine”  no exception to this owner .He gave the same reply.To me, if all are fine his farm would have few hundred nests like his friend’s farm.

How is the ventilation control I asked? He replied,there are 2 huge exhaust fans on every floor .  Do you know what is that for? He replied to cool down the farm. I said if the farm is built properly with good insulation and had anticipated all these heat kinda things….. does ones still needs those huge exhaust fans? I guess by now he should have known what I mean.

He showed me some pictures of  his farm…I wouldn’t want to comment much. I told him to wait until I had visited the farm and I will comment. While scrolling the pictures on his phone I ask him to stop…”hey wait could you backspace that picture?”

I saw a picture of a fire being lighted up in the farm. It is not a small fire like  a cigarette lighter. Even  a cigarette lighter would cause disaster to a farm.

Someone had set up a fire on the ground floor to burn something. I asked the owner what were they burning. Lastly he told me they use fire to burn small bee, ants, spiders ,etc. They did it on a regular basis as long they see pests.

Oh no my god..how could they do this. Didn’t they know fire and smoke is the # 1 enemy of Swiftlet. Forest fire and haze in Indonesia in 1997 caused the big migration of Swiftlet to Malaysia.

Animals are very sensitive to fire even a small fire from a lighter would scare them away. What more burning it this way. The smell from the smoke will be in the farm for a long time. Imagine fire and smell, it is a real disaster and the owner said everything is fine.

There are many things we should avoid doing, using or putting in our farms. To name a few… never used mosquito spray in farms as its contain proletarian & d-phenothrin which attack the nerves of those contacted. Never burn or smoke in farm…there are many cases where people sabotaged other farms by throwing the “kemenyen” incense into the roving during night.

Swiftlets are very sensitive to smell therefore new erected Swiftlet farms take time to attract them to stay as they have a strong cement smell.

In the above case the owner set fire in his own farm…so what else could he expect? I told him he was damn lucky to have 40 nests. I expected the birds would migrate soon if he is not going to do something to rectify  it.

Throughout my many years of experience I knew very well, once the owner says “everything is fine” this is where the problem starts.

I hope you guys out there don’t do the  same. Burning is one thing…there are hundreds of things that you could never imagine those owners would do to their farm until they tell you.

So this is truly a case of No fire No Smoke.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

Humidifier With Stainless Steel Sink is Back!

I have been looking for this type of humidifier for a while. Reason is, it comes with a Stainless Steel sink. It was on the market many years back until it disappeared when the plastic sink version came out. Manufactures opted for the plastic sink type because of cheaper production cost.

我一直在尋找這種類型的噴霧器已經有一陣子了。原因是，它含有不銹鋼的水槽。早在很多年前有在市場上，直到的塑膠水槽版本出來的時候，它突然消失了。製造商選擇塑膠水槽類型是因爲更加便宜的生產成本。

Where as for me I would go for the S. Steel one, simple reason, water stored in the S. Steel sink has lower temperature thus producing cooler mist. Secondly it has to be durable, as for this Humidifier it is made in Taiwan. As we all know Taiwan produces good and long lasting Humidifiers.

但是對我來說我會去選擇不銹鋼，一，原因很簡單，水存儲在不銹鋼槽中有較低的溫度，因而產生更冷的霧。第二，它會更加持久，至於它是台灣制造的噴霧器。我們都知道台灣產生良好和持久的噴霧器。

The sticker on the Humidifier shows it is specially produced for Swiftlet farm, look at those bird logo there.

在噴霧器上的黏貼紙顯示它是特別為燕屋農場而製作的，看看那些燕子的標籤在那裡。

Good thick quality S. Steel sink that will last a lifetime.

很好厚度和好品質 的不銹鋼，可以一生受用。

他的第一個燕屋農場 His First Swiftlet Farm

幾個星期前我在吉蘭丹視察W先生擁有的燕屋農場，這個燕屋農場是由我設計的。它已開始操作將近有4個月的時間了。有大約30個燕窩在裡面和其他新燕窩的記號。

我在那裏看到Love Potion和點滴頭如何幫助W先生的燕屋農場。他也採用了網系統在大部分的壁角板上釘上塑膠網。安裝了網之後他再噴了Love Potion。

這是他第一個燕屋農場，和他還未有收穫任何的燕窩。這是一個很好的收穫機會，可以把收穫到的燕窩帶回家給家人。

一個3層樓的燕屋農場。

頂部2層改換成一個燕屋農場。

His First Swiftlet Farm

A couple of weeks ago I was in Kelantan to inspect a Swiftlet farm owned by Mr. W. The Swiftlet farm was designed by me. It had started operation for almost 4 months now. There are about 30 nests inside and other new nest markings.

I was there to see it myself how Love Potion and the Dripper had helped Mr.W’s farm. He also applied the Netting system where he put Plastic Netting on most of the corner boards. After installing the Netting he sprayed them with Love Potion.

This is his first Swiftlet farm, and he had never harvested any nest before. It is a good opportunity to harvest and bring home some nests for his family.

A 3 storey Swiftlet farm.

The upper 2 floors converted into a farm.

 Entrance Hole directly faces the Sun. Who says it won't work. It depends on how the partitionings are being set up.

Netting on corners...it is better than fake nests

 Love Potion with Dripper, dripping into the Humidifier. Droppings are everywhere.

A timer control the humidifier. Dripper cover uses to protect the timer from droppings

Another bottle on the Lower floor

 Droppings with plenty of feathers. This is what we want to see. Many Swiftlet farmers are longing to see this. You see feathers you see the nests soon

 White thick droppings with feathers

Full cup nest in the corner with plastic netting

  Nests on both sides, both corners

First time harvesting, worth a million dollars

Some spare Love Potion at the control room.

Mr. W's farm is using a special external sound , a B-52 mixed specially tuned for his area. He is using the hypnotic series internal sound. The nests are clean and white, Love potion and the good sounds do help to improve nests quality.

Enjoy the photos.

爲什麽要停止做好的東西 WHY STOP DOING THE GOOD THING

我的一名讀者，自從2008年以來一直使用Love Potion，過了這麽多年突然打了個電話給我。很久沒有聽到他的消息了。現在他要我救他。真是好奇怪，他看到他的燕屋農場有很大幅的改善，但是他卻把他在做的東西停下來。最糟糕的是他的毛病，他喜歡聽那些他認為是師父的人......從一個快要成功的燕屋農場變成一個失敗的燕屋農場。以下是我們的談話。

"嗨James，你好嗎?"

"嗨 大衛...很久沒有聽到你的消息了。你怎麼了?"你的燕屋農場怎麼樣了?"。

"一般...一般啦...James...一點都不好"。

為什麼是一般一般而以......？我還以為在幾年前已經做的不錯了，當時我參觀了您的燕屋農場，而您是Love Potion熱心使用者之一，如果我沒記錯您是在2009年僅僅是靠Love Potion和2010年您的燕屋農場已經有超過170個燕窩了...和我想現在它應該已經達到幾千個燕窩了吧...哈哈...哈...你一定是一個幸運和快樂的人"。

"沒有James...不是這樣的......現在只有140個燕窩"。

"哦......不會吧。這是一個災難...為什麼呢？到底是什麼出了錯？爲什麽燕窩減少？我沒有聽到你的消息從2011年到現在，看來你好像從2011年到現在沒有買過Love Potion。我以為你一定是做得很好，所以並不需要Love Potion了"。

"James真正的我必須承認，我停止使用Love Potion因爲聼了一些師父和朋友的意見。我被要求使用他們的香氣和其他燕子的聲音。最初有很多的燕子來玩，但是後來燕子逐漸越來越少。我問他們下一步應該做什麽，他們的答覆是等待...啦...想要成功必須要等待。在等待之後，他們再次介紹我用另外一種不同類型的香氣，他們聲稱這是非常著名的，使用之後我等了又等。這次我看到更加少的燕窩。我感到很沮喪和停下聽他們的話，然後我去了賣養燕器材的商店自己尋找香氣...這次我再次試用了另外一種香氣，店主聲稱這是其中一個最好的香氣，但是使用了這次之後它變得更將糟糕。不但沒有看到新的燕子屎而且燕窩的數目減少到140多個。總共在這2年我曾試過不少過9個類型的香氣。我承認我是個傻瓜"。

"不要這樣說，大衛，每個人都會犯錯，但是在你的情況下你不應該聽別人的。眼見為實，因為用了Love Potion你的燕屋農場已經顯示了一個健康的增加，你應該堅持用下去。你已經看到了和自己目睹到了。所以為什麼要換其他的香氣呢？無論如何怎麼可以幫到你"。

"James, 我想要訂購一些Love Potion。你有貨嗎?"

"是的，我有貨...而且這是新的第三代Love Potion。大衛，為什麼你突然決定要再次使用Love Potion呢？你對您試過的香氣都感到厭倦了嗎?"

"是的James...我永遠都不會再次用它們。我相信Love Potion......但是我的耳朵是很輕的一個。一個半個月前我的叔叔從Jerantut來拜訪我。我給他看了我的燕屋農場和希望他能給我一些提示，以改善我的燕屋農場。他說他認識你"。

"噢...哦......你的叔叔，不要緊...ok。。ok。

"他有那用省半瓶的Love Potion在他的車裏，那是新的第三代。他給了我。我就好像以前一樣的噴了......相信我，今天我去了看到有20多個新的燕窩標記。有好多年了我沒有看過這些。我是真的很高興。好像很久沒有這種感覺了，謝謝你James。這就是為什麼我打電話給你的原因...我希望你別介意。我知道要怪的人是我自己。我只是有切換和測試東西和聽別人的傾向。現在我的燕屋農場已經成為了試驗品。James我得到了我的教訓"。

"沒關係，你並不是一個人。在外面有很多好像您一樣的人，像你一樣。他們只是喜歡他們的燕屋農場成爲白老鼠"。

"James您可否儘快送Love Potion來。我想要在這個週末噴“。

"Ok 大衛，我儘快送Love Potion給你。如果您有任何問題請打電話給我"。

這樣的事情整天都在發生。人們縂是有傾向要擺脫他們經歷過好的東西。也許他們不夠鋒利和經驗來決定什麼是好的和壞的。通常這是一個昂貴的教訓和時間是不能夠用錢買的。

注： 第三代的Love Potion將很快會推出。

WHY STOP DOING THE GOOD THING

A reader of mine who had been using Love Potion for since 2008, suddenly call me after many years. I have not heard from him for a long time. Now he wants my rescue. It is kind a weird, he sees drastic improvement in his farm but he stopped doing what he had done. Worst of all he likes to listen to those he believes Sifus…from here once a going to be successful farm turned into a failed farm soon. Below is our conversation.

“ Hi James, how are you?”

“ Hi David ….. it has been a long time since I heard from you. How have you been?” How is your Swiftlet farm doing?”.

“ So..so lah James…not good at all”.

Why so..so..only? I thought it was doing pretty good few years back when I visited your farms and you were one of those avid user of Love Potion….if I could remember you started in 2009 solely relied on Love potion and in 2010 your farm has more than 170 nests..and I suppose now it has reached few thousand nests already ..ha..ha.. you must be one lucky and happy guy”.

“No James.. not really … only 140 nests now”.

“Oh..no. That is a disaster..  why?  What’s gone wrong? How could the nests decreased? I haven’t heard from you since 2011 and it seems you never bought Love Potion since 2011. I thought you must have done well and don’t need Love potion anymore”.

“ James sincerely I must admit, I stopped  using Love Potion on the advice of some Sifus and Friends. I was asked to use their Aromas and  other Swiftlet sounds. Initially lots of Birds came then gradually less and less birds. I asked them what should I do next, their replies were wait..lah..want to be successful must wait. After  waiting they again introduced me another different types of aroma which they claimed very famous, after using I waited again. This time I see fewer nests. I was frustrated and stopped listening to them and went to a Swiftlet equipment shop and scout for aromas myself..here again I tried out another aroma which claimed by the seller as one of the best but this time after using it became even worse. Not only I see no new bird shit but the number of nests reduced to 140 plus. All in total I had tried not less than 9 types of aroma in that 2 years plus. I admit I am a fool.”

“Don’t say that David, everyone makes mistakes but in your case you should have not simply listened to anyone. Seeing is believing since your farm had showed a  healthy increase with Love Potion and you should stick with it. You had seen and witnessed it yourself. So why switching to other Aromas? Anyway  how may I help you”.

“ James  I want to order some Love Potion. Do you have stock?”

“ Yes I do have stock….the New 3^rd Generation Love Potion. David, why suddenly you decided to use Love Potion again? You got fed-up with those Aromas you had tried?”

“ Yes  James….I will never use them again. I trust Love Potion… but my ears are very light one. One and a half month ago my uncle from Jerantut visited me. I showed him my farm and hope he could give me some tips to  improve my farm. He said he knew you well.”

“Emmm…emmm..your uncle never  mind..ok..ok.

“ He had a half bottle of Love potion with him in his car the NEW 3^RD GENERATION  one. He gave it to me. I just sprayed like before…believe me today I went and see there are more than 20 new nest markings. I have not seen that for many years. I am damn excited. I have never had this feeling for a long time. Thank you James. That is why I am calling you..I hope you don’t mind. I know myself I am the one to be blamed. I just have the tendency to switch and test out things and listen to people. Now my farm has become a guinea-pig. James I learned my lesson well”.

“It is ok….you are not alone. There are many out there shared the same character like you.They just like their farms to be guinea-pig”.

“James could you send Love Potion as soon as possible. Will want to spray again this weekend.

“ Ok David,  I shall send Love  Potion to you Asap.  Should you have any question please call me”.

It happens all the times. People just have the tendency to move away from the good things that they had experienced. Perhaps they are not sharp and experience enough to decide what is good and bad. Often it is an expensive lesson and time cannot be bought with money.

Good Swiftlet farming All

Internal Tweeter with Netting 有網的高音揚聲器

Recommended for Internal sound use. Size: 2x5"

建議用在內部聲音。尺寸: 2x5"

Removable front net

可以拆移的前面網

 Without cover ( netting) Piezo bullet shape for long travelling sound (size: 2x5")
沒有蓋子（網）Piezo子彈形可以發出長遠的聲音 (尺寸: 2x5")

Here is an interesting Internal Tweeter. It is specially designed and made with a cover for the front of the Tweeter mouth. (The front cover is removable). This idea derived from seeing birds, especially young birds hanging on Internal tweeters enjoy the Internal sound.

We had previously used Fake nests, Plastic nesting some even put Paper clips, etc. All served the same purposes of attracting birds to hang there and hopefully later they would build nests.

But those Plastics nests and Paper clip do not produce sound. It would take a longer time for birds to build nests right above those clips and fake nests. Therefore, Fake nests and Paper clips are advised to be placed closest as possible to the Tweeters.

It is evident that a good Internal sound play an important role in nest building as  most birds like hanging on Tweeter and the areas around Tweeters.

The P-9 Internal sound is sought-after by many who wanted fast nests growth. After using the P-9 Internal sound they could see an increase in nests and bird population. One farmer told me " James, now I see all birds clinging on the internal Tweeters. Before this,  they were clinging at the Planks. The P-9 internal sound is Ho-Liow".

The behavioral of birds hanging on Tweeter shows hypnotization process is taking place. Birds do memorize the sound. They hang there for hours...after leaving the farm for food and they return they would continue to hang on the same tweeter. Birds from others farm that fly in your farm would do the same.

They fly into a new farm and set for Tweeters that produced good internal sound and hang there. If the internal sound could attract them they will return and eventually make this farm their permanent home. This is an ongoing process of enticing new birds. If the Internal sound is not attractive or the same sound has been used by many farms in that area, then the hypnotization process won't work well and has no effect.

I had always told my readers duplicating sound through copy or paste from the computer is making the sound more available in the market. You will be surprised that your neighbor's farm and many more farms around your area is using the same sound as you.

Isn't it now all are identical? So what makes you think that your farm could attract more birds than they?  Birds look for a farm that is a standout in term of micro control that includes Sound.

Therefore, all the sounds I produced are not 100% identical, and it is not 100% duplicate through a copy from the computer. Every each sound my readers received is of genuine remixed. I am making sure they don't share the same sound. (* There are some remixes in the sound purposely added in to make it different for the purpose of hypnotisation*)

Use a good Internal sound  with this Tweeter. You would see nests built on the Tweeters.

Good Swiftlet farming All!

這裡是一個有趣的內部高音揚聲器。它是專門設計和含有蓋子在喇叭嘴前面的高音揚聲器（前面的蓋子是可拆移的）。這個想法源自看見燕子，特別是那些幼燕子掛在內部的高音揚聲器上享受內部的聲音。

以前我們都使用過假窩、 塑膠燕窩一些甚至用紙夾等等。全部都是要達到同一個目的，那就是吸引幼燕子到那裡垂掛和希望之後它們會做燕窩。

但是那些塑膠燕窩和紙夾都不能產生聲音。它會需要較長的時間使燕子們在那些紙夾和假窩上面做燕窩。因此，都被勸告盡量把假窩和紙夾置放在靠近高音揚聲器的地方。

都被證明好的內部聲音發揮重要的作用，因爲大部分的燕子都喜歡掛在高音揚聲器和它的周圍做燕窩。

P-9內部聲音是很多人想要的聲音，它可以快速使燕窩增加。使用P-9內部聲音之後，可以看到燕窩和燕子人口的增加。一位燕屋主告訴我 "James，現在我可以看到所有的燕子都纏著內部的高音揚聲器。在此之前，那些燕子只是挂在木板上。P-9內部聲音正的是好料"。

那些掛在高音揚聲器上的燕子的行為顯示催眠正在進行中。燕子會把聲音記憶下來。它們會挂在那裏好幾個小時，然後離開燕屋農場尋找食物，回來之後它們將繼續挂在相同的高音揚聲器上。從其他燕屋農場飛到你燕屋農場的燕子也會這麼做。

它們飛入到一個新的燕屋農場，然後會垂掛在產生良好的內部聲音的高音揚聲器。如果內部聲音能夠吸引它們便會返回，並最終把這個燕屋農場變成它們永久的家。這是一個持續的過程來誘惑新燕子。如果內部聲音是不夠有吸引力或在其他地方的許多燕屋農場都一直在使用相同的聲音，那麽催眠過程不會有效並且會沒有影響。

我一直告訴我的讀者，從電腦複製的聲音會使您的聲音在市場上更加容易得到。你會很驚訝你鄰居的燕屋農場和許多更多的燕屋農場在你周圍的都是使用相同的聲音。

現在不是更加相同的嗎？所以你憑什麼認為您的燕屋農場能比他們的吸引更多的燕子呢？燕子尋找一個獨特角度的燕屋農場，比如屋内環境的控制，這包括聲音在内。

因此，我生產的所有聲音都不是100%相同的，並不是100%通過從電腦複製的。我的讀者們收到的每個聲音都是真正混音的。我要確保他們不共同分享同一個聲音。(*還有一些不同的聲音混音的版本有意添加來使這個催眠更加有實用*)

使用好的內部聲音在這個高音揚聲器。你會看到燕窩被做在高音揚聲器上。

另外一個DIY的方法來防止貓頭鷹和其它捕食動物 Another DIY Technique to Prevent Owls and Predators

這裡是另一種DIY的技術，你可以在你的燕屋農場中使用。它已被很多燕屋農場證明和測試。它真的可以嚇走捕食動物。

要在入口洞裏放尖利的釘子不如您想象那麽容易。通常它需要錘擊和鑽洞。

通常會是用釘子，把它們釘在一塊木頭上，放在入口洞，來防止貓頭鷹和其他捕食動物棲息或站在入口洞。

但是那些釘子的末端是不夠鋒利來傷害那些捕食動物，所以是無法嚇跑它們的。

我想與大家分享最簡單的方法，把鋒利的釘子放在入口洞。無需要錘擊和鑽洞。明顯地，也不會在你口袋裡燒個大洞。

我使用了螺絲，因為它是比釘子廉價和鋒利。它們是很容易和方便地與工作的。它會持續很長的時間，和大多數的螺絲都是塗上一層漆的(防銹處理)。入口洞是一個暴露在陽光下和雨的地方，所以釘子容易生銹因爲它是沒有被處理過的...

我使用的是3-4"黑色鎖木的螺絲和用Epoxy把它們黏上。可以很方便地在五金店買得到。如果你找不到它們，可以打電話給我012-317 3811。（我有供應）

Araldite Epoxy是被建議使用的。我試過很多類型的Epoxy，但是其他的都不想Araldite一樣強烈和持久。它們在長時間的暴露在陽光和雨下的惡化。Araldite Epoxy是抵抗化學和紫外線的。建議把兩部分混合使用。千萬不要使用單個部分的膠粘劑。

這個DIY最佳的部分是你可以盡量的使用螺絲（釘子）如你所願。沒有人會阻止你。可以放它們在入口洞，或其他的地方，你覺得捕食動物會棲息或站的地方。

在黏上螺絲之前把表面弄乾淨。

你需要的東西是，一盒螺絲（100枚）和2包Araldite Epoxy。當然，也需要一些努力和汗水。

Another DIY Technique to Prevent Owls and Predators

Here is another DIY technique you could use in your Swiftlet farm. It has been proven and tested in many Swiftlets farms. It really scares away Predators.

Putting sharp spikes at the entrance hole is not as easy as you may think. Often hammering and drilling is needed.

Nails are often used, they are hammered into a piece of wood and placed at the entrance hole to prevent Owl and other predators from perching or standing at the entrance hole.

But their sharp ends are not sharp enough to hurt  predators thus making it ineffective to scaring them away.

I would like to share  with you the simplest way to put sharp spikes at the entrance hole. No hammering and drilling are needed. Obviously no burning a big hole in your pocket.

I use screws as they are cheap and sharper than nails. They are easy and convenient to work with. It will last a long time, and most screws are coated with paint (treated anti-rust). Entrance hole is an area that is exposed to the sun and rain nails get rusty easily as they are not treated..

I use the 3-4”  black wood screw and stick them with Epoxy  They are easily available at hardware shops. If you cannot find them, call me at 012-317 3811. (I do supply them)

Araldite epoxy is recommended.  I have tried many types of epoxy all of them are not as strong and lasting as Araldite. They deteriorate over a long period of exposing under the sun and the rain. Araldite epoxy is resistant to chemical and UV. A two part mix epoxy is recommended. Never use single part adhesive.

The best part of this DIY  you could put as many screws (spikes) as you wish. Nobody is going to stop you. They can be placed at the entrance hole as well as at all other areas or places which you think predators would perch or stand.

Clean the surface of the area before sticking the screws.

Things that you need, a box of screws (100pcs) and 2 packs of Araldite epoxy. Of course, also with some effort and sweat.

Good Swiftlet farming All!
