SWIFTLET FARM that Uses LOVE POTION
New Hypnotic Sound " Gezillion Star" Interested to have this Sound Call 012-3173811
SWIFTLET FARM USING EXTERNAL SOUND-Gezillion Star 8
I was asked to give some opinions about this newly built Swiftlet farm which is located at the East Coast. It was built by a Swiftlet contractor who is a good friend of the owner. They had installed the Nesting plank few days ago. It is almost completed except the sound system and some final touch up.
One of the partners of this Swiftlet farm sensed something not right and asked me for second opinion. What more could I say? It is already done...completed full stop.
I wouldn't want to disappoint them as they have spent so much money and having high hope on this newly built Swiftlet farm. But the truth is hard to swallow. Some how they have to face it. It is better to face it now rather than few years later.
There many errors in the Internal and External design of this farm. To be fair to the owner I can't reveal too much. I could only show some of the mistakes made and hope that you all learn something.
Obstructing the Flying Path
Here are the few things that I had pointed out to him. Firstly, why do you need to build a staircase right at the middle of the roving area? As I had mentioned before a staircase is for us (human) to access to the farm, not for birds. It should be built separately away from the roving. If possible it should be hidden. Those who had followed my articles know what I am talking about.
The staircase is obstructing the flying path of the birds. As the result,
1) Birds refuse to fly deeper into the nesting 2) It would take a longer time for birds to stay 3) Longer period for adaptation as birds avoid the staircase before they could smoothly glide to the nesting area. 4) etc..many more.
Predators and Its Ambush areas
Safety is priority but, there are too many hand grills and barricades and there are too high. The hand grills are the best places for predators (Owls, Hawks,etc) to perch for ambush. Such design made it easy for the predator to ambush from the second Entrance hole. Now you know why some Swiftlet farms couldn't attract birds to stay and could only yield few nests after many years.
For your information there are many ways to build the barricades ( for safety). There are many other materials could be used.( not necessarily to use round steel tube).
Light Density Control
The bright glaring light from the PVC elbows create confusion, young birds would hit the PVC vent holes and die as they thought the light would lead them to the Entrance hole. All PVC vents should be covered with a 1-3 ft PVC tube. Young birds tend to use light as their guide of direction this evidence could be observed when we do harvesting of nests by wearing head lights. The birds tend to hit our head lights and faces. It indicated that young birds flying directions are influenced by light.
Vent-Hole Control
It is obvious that this Swiftlet farm has too many Vent-holes. If it is not controlled properly the drought air (Hot Air) from outside could easily flow into the farm making the whole internal environment unstable. Often, the number of Vent-hole was influence by following other people farm's design blindly. What is the exact or ideal numbers of Vent- hole needed? I guess no one has ever answered this question. The answer is subjected to the design of the farm ( How many storey?. Open roof or Dog Kennel design) . Also subjected to the size of the entrance hole, second entrance hole, etc. All these influence the number of Vent-Hole needed ( will explain in detail when we meet face to face).
The owner is truly a Swiftlet farming enthusiast. They really have the patience to drill every single hole onto the PVC tube. They don't need to do that as there are many ready made Vent Hole covers in the market now.
Secondly, what's the point of painting the whole Entrance and Roving area with black paint while the glare light from the Vent-Hole will anyway brighten the whole nesting area. Like I had always said, you need skill, knowledge and experience to notice this.
Here are just some of the many problems that I have pointed out. I hope they will learn from their mistakes, often this kind of mistakes are too costly.

Want to be successful. Taking note on the secret of successful Swiftlet farming
渴望成功。 笔记下养燕的秘诀
Without missing any information. All these are my presentation notes. Very valuable indeed. The science and methodology related to Swiftlet farming. Sound wave and understanding about Swiftlet sound. 没有错过任何一个信息。 所有这些都是我的演讲的笔记。 非常有价值。与养燕繁殖相关的科学和方法。与燕子声音的声波和理解。
The All new Love Potion 400ml Dispenser is fully automatic. Recommended setting is 15 minute per interval ( per spray) . That would last 1 month plus. So you do not need to go into your Swiftlet farm often to refill. Good for newly built and old successful Swiftlets farms
This is a 35x150 feet Swiftlets farm. The design is a Center Entrance type which Swiftlets will enter through the middle. The construction will take about 4-6 months depends on the weather.
Since the size of the building is big and the surrounding area is of flatland and mangrove, therefore a 2 storey building is good enough.
The 2 storey design will reduce the effects of dead trap of "verytical flying" which most Swiftlet farms are facing now.
When we build Swiftlet farms , we focused on practicality, the surrounding areas and understanding of the birds flying behavior. All these are being examined and studied before we come up with a design plan.
Remember, think before you plan and plan before you build.
Not copy before you build and build on what you had copied.
Good Swiftlets farming All.

Some of my
students have asked whether installing CCTVs in Swiftlets Farm would do harm to
the Swiftlets.
I had written about this before, perhaps 7 or
8 years ago in my previous articles. (www.swiftletfarmer.blogspot.com)
The
reason CCTV is installed in Swiftlets Farm is to observe the moments and the
activities of Swiftlets in the farm. From the CCTVs we could observe and study how
many birds actually stayed, how they entered the farm, any predators entered and
also intruders like thieves, etc.
There
are many CCTVs in the market today. As we know the internal environment of a Swiftlet
farm is always dark, so choosing the right CCTV is utmost important. It must be
able to function well in the dark enclosed areas to capture videos or images in
low light condition. In order to do that
the CCTV must have the IR capability (IR:
Infra-Red). IR CCTV could capture high resolution pictures and videos in
low light condition where as normal CCTV couldn’t do.
But,
there is a setback. Let me explain. Some IR capability CCTVs have Red light
indicators when switched on. These Red
light indicators resemble the eyes of predators, especially Owls and Eagles.
Owls and
Eagles are predators that hunt from an ambush. Often they hide at the edges inside
the farms (Outside). Smart and experienced Swiftlets knew this. Any sign of the
predators would deter them from staying in the farm. CCTVs are often installed
at the edges of the Roving areas, Nesting areas, etc so as to cover a bigger viewing
area possible. The places where the CCTVs are installed often are also the places
where the Predators like to perch.
One of
the indications that you could observe is when the birds make a sudden turn
back as they approaching the Roving area towards the second Entrance Hole. This
showed that they are afraid or they had seen something which is not right. This is bad for New Swiftlets farms as it
would take a very long time for birds to stay and build nests.
So
choosing a right CCTV to use in your Swiftlet farm is important. Find those
that don’t have the Red light indicators when switch on. There are many in the
market. Find one that has IR capability but without the Red light mode
otherwise when the birds fly in with speed you could only see nothing but a
shadow.
