Internal Sound Increases the Quality of Nests

( white and perfectly cupped . the important of internal sound)

( Not dirty. Very white)

(It only sticks 1 feather that all..ha...ha.)

Did you know internal environment of a farm influences the quality of the nests in Swiftlet farms? Commonly known by many Temperature and Humidity have great effect on the quality of the nests. These included the sizes, the shapes, cleanliness, etc

But a good internal environment is more than just relying on good control of Temp and Humidity. There are other factors such as Smell, sound, darkness, smooth flying path and so on. If all these are in perfect condition it would harmonize the whole farm thus creating a condition that helps in nest quality.

But many didn’t know that Aroma and Sound equality give great impact in nest quality. A good quality or a suitable internal sound would help to increase the quality of nests in term of the sizes, shape, and cleanliness and also speed up the time taken to for the birds to make nests.

Have you ever wonder why some nests are dirty with many feathers, odd shaped, small, and so on when your humidity and temp are on the acceptable level while your friend’s farm humidity and temp are not as good as yours but his farm produces good quality nests? This has to do with internal sound.

External sound are inviting sound that attract Swiftlets to your farm while internal sound pacifier them to stay and make nests. How fast and how good quality and how many nests swiftlets want to make all depended on the quality of the internal sound.

The Internal sound has to be smoothing, I think I had mentioned it many times over and over again. It cannot contain just baby sounds no way a successful farm that has thousands of nests inside only consists of baby sound.

If you go into a successful at night, listen to the sound inside you will get what I mean make sure the farms you visit have more than 2000 nests not those 20 nests farms.

When your internal sound is of those common one from the market you can forget about good quality nests. It has to be something more than that because a good internal sound would make Swiftlets inside the farm especially at night feel safe and comfortable thus making the swiftlet more calm. When such situation arises eventually the swiftlet would make good quality nests. They would build bigger nests, cleaner nests and the time to make them is faster

Internal sound that is not suitable would affect the quality of nests because it would create shock and it traumatizes the birds. Some internal sounds available in the market are done by people who have little understanding in sound differentiations between tunes.

If the sound has been mixed with unpleasant sound the swifttlet that sit on its nests would feel uncomfortable and the tendency of turning and the moving on the nests (or hanging) increase thus making the feathers sticking easier.

Birds spend whole night in farms hanging or sitting on their nests they should feel as comfortable as possible. The more comfortable they are the better nests they build. Any distractions from a poor internal sound would affect the quality of nests.

So if you want good nest quality and want your farm to have more nests make sure you use a right internal sound.

But there are still many so called Sifus claimed that the external sound is more important than internal sound. I always disagree with that. To me both equally important if you want to make a good internal environment.

Papa Rich 和燕屋農場

到处都是燕屋農場。 不僅他的爸爸是富有的，我打賭他也是很富有的。)

(窗口型的入口孔。在晚上將有很多的燕子潛入燕屋農場的)

(2年前我有寫过關於這個燕屋農場。 二年后有許多改變的)

它是大家的夢想有好出租回歸從商店底层和顶层。

莫名其妙地在許多情況下，如果底层可以得到好的出租回歸，那么顶层就不适用于燕屋農場。 這是，因為多数高出租區域都是在都市化和位于有高人潮交通的市鎮。 它是在大城市圍攏與高层建筑物和工業活動。

小镇比如K.Bharu， K.T， Setiawan， K.tinggi等等都是好的燕屋農場，但是底层的出租却不可能接近那些在巴生谷的。

因此要兩全其美是很难的。 但是，如果您有兩個？ 您的商店底层由出租来专錢或者或企业，而顶层也被轉換成燕屋農場，同時也有很好的回收。

這就是发生在巴生谷其中一家燕屋農場。 如果我的記憶好的话，它已经开始了大约5年的时间了。 最初這是一个废區沒有经营活动的地方，因此，燕屋主把它变成燕屋農場。 当他耐心地等待时，這裡附近的事務突然变的茂盛，並且這裡所有的底层充分地被出租。

因此在燕屋農場这个行业「耐心就是金黃」。

每个人都有它好的一天。 當您有耐心时，您好的一天將会來的。

有許多，直到今天仍然打電話給我和發電子郵件问我「James, 我的燕屋農場开始了2個星期為什麼仍然沒有窝」這樣問題？ 這不是滑稽的這是真實的。 如果不是真實的那么失敗率將不会是在80%。

慢慢享受您夢想商店的照片也称为燕屋農場。

DIY/更换高音揚聲器

這就是您需要的一切，當您修理您燕屋農場的伴音系统时。 特别是當您是單獨工作时，我觉得它是非常方便的。當每一件需要使用到的小配件都在腰部附近，您需要鉗子或螺絲刀时，您不需要每次在梯子爬上爬下。

就算是预先準備好的高音揚聲器夾子来夹上新的高音揚聲器。 這使改换高音揚聲器是容易和快速的，以便我們不必須花費全天在燕屋農場。

對于我它是當务之急的腰带包，當我修理我燕屋農場的伴音系统时，我一定需要这个腰带包。

您需要的东西：

1) 一條好的木工或建築的腰带包有許多口袋的可以放螺絲，導線夾子，高音揚聲器的夾子，釘子等等。

2) 錘子，萬一您需要它們

3) 2個鉗子切開和扁性的以便可以拔掉堅韌的釘子和螺絲

4) 2種类型的螺絲刀(Philip和扁型的)

5) 測試筆

6) 銀色或白色的记号笔来標記它們方便您以後可以辨認您已经更换了哪個高音揚聲器。

7) 刀子筆

8) 电线的磁帶

9) 接线的訂書槍

您總可以放任何的东西在里边，只要您認為是必要的当您修理和改换高音揚聲器时。

Papa Rich & Swiftlet farming

( Swiftlet farming is every where. Not only his Dad is rich, I bet he is rich too.)

( Window type Entrance-Hole. There will be lots of swiftlets diving into the farm in the evening)

( I have written about this area 2 years ago. Two years later lots of things changed)

It is everyone’s dream to have a good rental returns from both the shop lot ground floor and the upper floors.

Somehow in most cases if the ground floor could fetch high rental then the upper floors are not suitable for swiflets farming. This is because most high rental areas are urbanized and located in towns with high human traffic. There are in big cities surrounded with high rise building and industrial activities.

Smaller towns like K.Bharu, K.T, Setiawan, K.tinggi and so on are good for swiftlet farming but the ground floor rental cannot come close to those in the Klang Valley.

So it is hard to have both. But what if you have both? Ground floor of your shop lot is making money either from rental or businesses or at the same time the upper floors which converted into Swiftlet farm is doing well too.

This is what happened to one of the Swiftlet farm in Klang Valley. If my memory serves me right it had been operated for about 5 years now. Initially this is was a slump area with no business activities therefore the owner turns it into a swiftlet farm. As he patiently waits business around here flourished and all the ground floors here are fully occupied.

So in Swiftlet farming “Patient is Golden”.

Everyone has its good day. Your good day will come only if you have the patience.

There are many until today still call and email me asking such question like “James my farm just operated 2 weeks ago how come still no nests”? This is not funny this is true. If it is not true then the fail rate won’t stood at 80%.

Enjoy your dream Shop pictures Aka Swiftlet farm.

DIY/Changing Tweeters

This is what you need when you repair your Swiftlet farm’s sound system. I found it very convenient especially when you are working alone. With all the gadgets around the waist you don’t need to come down from the ladder every time when you need a pliers or a screw driver.

Even pre-tight tweeters clips are ready just clip on to the new tweeters. This makes changing tweeters easy and fast so that we don’t have to spend whole day in the Swiftlets farm.

For me it is a must have belt that I bring along with me when I repair my farm’s sound system.

What you need:

1) A good belt for wood working/construction that has many pockets for screws, wire clip, tweeters clips, nails, etc.

2) Hammer for nailing in case you need them

3) 2 Pliers cutting and flat nose for removing tough nails & screws

4) 2 types of Screw drivers( Philip & Flat type)

5) Test pen

6) Silver or white marker pen to mark them after you had changed the tweeters. So next time you could identify which one you had changed.

7) Pen knife

8) Wiring tape

9) Stapler Gun for wiring

Well you could always put whatever things in it which you think that is necessary for repairing and changing tweeters.

燕屋農場設計的贴士

(一定要用黏土磚。 更好的防热材料)

(双层的牆壁来挡太陽晒的一边)

(中间的門我称它" 燕子的死路" 必須被密封，但是許多仍然使用它)

(樓梯是人用的不是燕子。 如果您燕屋农厂的相互孔是使用樓梯那么它就成为了問題。 燕子需要更長的时间才飛行到低层楼)

(創造一個更好的飛行道路。 所有的測量是預先計算好和显示的。)

(入口洞必須精確地找出孔的位置(和大小)。 它是成功的燕屋農場的門戶)

(我所修建的燕屋農場都不是使用樓梯作為相互孔的。 所有的相互孔是从地板被挖开来得到更好的通入)

這是我修造許多燕屋農場的其中之一(商店類型)。 希望它可以幫助到想创立一些的那些人。 看看以上的照片您会瞭解到設計是非常重要的。

設計和屋内环境是相互關連到的。 一個好的設計將幫助改进屋内环境。 任何的缺點在設計將危害整體的環境。

我总是相信首先得到一個好設計是優先的，而不是修造一个好的燕屋農場。 許多人的倾向集中于首先修造燕屋農場，然后才使用所有在市場上的電子小配件来創造一个更好的屋内环境。 他們不知道電子小配件只可以有限度的幫助而已。

記住，設計是最重要的。 「百萬元的大廈是從一張纸的開始」。

Swiftlets farm Designing Tips

( Always use clay bricks. Better insulation)

( Double layer wall that facing sun)

( The middle section door I called it "birds dead path" has to be sealed but many still use it)

( Staircase is for human access not Swiftlets. If your farm inter hole is using staircase it would be problem. It takes long time for Swiftlets to fly to the lower floor)

( Creating a better flying path. All measurements have been pre-calculated and marked.)

( Entrance hole position (and size) has to be precisely located. It is the gateway to successful farm)

( None of the Swiftlets farms I built is using Staircase as inter hole. All inter holes are hacked thru floor for better access)

Here is one of the many Swiftlet farms (shop lot type) that I am building. Hope it would help those who wanted to build one. Look at the above pictures you would understand that the design is very important.

The design itself is interrelated to the micro. A good design would help to improve the micro condition. Any flaw with the design would jeopardize the whole environment.

I always believe in getting a good design first that is priority not build a farm first. Many people tend to concentrate on build the farm first and the micro second later using all electronic gadgets in the market to create a better micro. They didn’t know that electronic gadgets could only help to a certain extend.

Remember Design always comes first. “Multi-million dollar building always started off from the scratch on a piece of paper.”

Love Potion, 燕子测验, 地方调查, 游客....

昨天我的日程表是亂糟糟的。 早上我必須見我的讀者E先生，一名Love Potion的常用戶從Gambang的然後往北部去。然后必須送數十支的Love Potion到K.L去，因为從越南的讀者到这里來遊覽的。

E先生，最近幾天已经打了好几次电话给我。

「James，我們這個週末可以见面吗？ 我想要十瓶的Love Potion，很干要的」

「Mr.E，我現在是在外地。 我必须证实看看是否有货，最近这几天我們提供了相當多的到邻国，並且现有的都是被預定了。 我將会打电话给您」

我是很繁忙的和平且忘記了打电话给他，直到很晚才記得。 所以我打电话给他来證實我们的约定。 我告訴了E先生这是我最后的十二瓶Love Potion。 其他的那些是我需要送到酒店给越南的讀者的。

第二天我們约定在咖啡店见面。 当我們喝咖啡时，我问E先生為什麼您那么紧急地需要Love Potion。 通常我不会问太多关于他们的燕屋農場除非他們想要告诉我，这次我問了他。 因為他那么迫切地想要Love Potion。

回復是， 「James，我开始使用Love Potion是2010年的华人新年，今年初的时候我買了一间有300多的窝的燕屋農場。到今天为止，少过一年的时间它已经有800多个窝，我预算到年底它将到達1000个窝」。

難怪他那么迫切的需要它和那么通常的使用它。 我是非常高兴的得知这消息的。

自从那以后，有了Love Potion来幫助窝的成長的助力下，他是更加的確信要買和修建更多的燕屋農場来投資。

我送了Love Potion到E先生之後，我必須到北部見另一個讀者K先生想很快雇用我作為他的顧問来建一個2層樓30x 80的燕屋農場。 他想談論關於燕屋農場的計劃，並且我可以多快进入这个计划。 因為我告訴他我的其他項目持續的延迟到2011年早期。 无论如何我會设法容納他想要的和稍後勸告他開始的日期。

K先生带我觀看他打算修建燕屋農場的區域。 它是一個好的區域，有紅樹圍攏着與是燕子寻找食物的地方。

附近在10 km半徑之内沒有現有任何的燕屋農場在這個區域。 它是很難找到的好區域。 我們驾驶了1个小時来看周围的園藝。 有許多小河在這里。 當我们駕駛的时候我可以看见大量的燕子飛行在紅樹機蓋之上搜尋昆蟲。 不可能再猶豫的我，马上停车並且播放我的BTK，在幾分鐘內的时间数百只燕子围绕着我们在一個炎熱的下午。 那是蛮好印象深刻的!

我告訴了K先生您找到正确的地方。 然后我們去喝茶並且促進谈關於結構和燕屋農場的設計等等。

那不是全部，我必须赶回K.L在11pm之前运送十几瓶的Love Potion到城市的中心的酒店。 我原本想要用快递公司来送货的，但是快递公司在週末是不送货的，並且我的越南讀者是在星期天離開的。 多数的时间，我是不親自运送Love Potion的除非特殊的情况。 使用快递公司是非常方便的。

從越南的V女士通过電話和電子郵件与我联系了好几次。 她想要在她越南的燕屋農場使用Love Potion的。 她不是買1或2瓶。 我想她許多的朋友在越南也是想要用Love Potion。

在全天的赶路的我必須在11pm赶到 K.L。 我已经有好一陣子没有在星期六的晚上到KL了，自從我涉及燕屋農場之后。

不可能想像在12点的午夜好是交通堵塞，我以為只是發生在曼谷而已。 放下Love Potion和他們閒談一下然后离去。 好彩我没有停放我的汽車在地层，要不然我會必須談論燕屋農場好几小时。 我已经尽皮力盡了。

了解您的板条

(没有黑點，没有木眼等等。預先被挑選过的)

(做检测的工人。 壞的板條被拿掉。 每一根都被檢查)

(越大的木材越好。有傷痕的木材是被拿掉的，就算小的也不例外)

(有裂痕和有污点的木頭也被锯掉和去除)

几天前我收到了從讀者的電話，他70%的板條有青苔。 我问他， 「您的燕屋農場开始了多久？」 他的回復是「1個月」。

他告訴我實際上他懷疑某些事不对管與板條，当它被送到他之後。 因為他買了它和不想浪費它們，因此他無論如何也安裝了。

现在他必須去除它們。他不僅浪費了金錢在有青苔的板條上，而且还需要花费金錢来雇用人去除和安裝新的板条。

仍然有青苔和发霉的問題？ 我已為那是歷史和不再未在了。為什麼人们就是有一而再，再而三的多次重複差錯的傾向。 或許他們享受这样做。

難怪甚而有最苛刻的處罰和最堅韌的法律，人民仍然不恐懼的犯罪和被送到監獄里。 即使他們做了，就算被刑期或被放了之後他們仍然重複同一種罪行。 我猜測這是人类的本性，我們是不可能改變的。

和板條相似的，知道市場有的都是那些品质差的Meranti板條(90%)生長青苔和发霉的，他們仍然使用它。 很简单，他們仍然相信所有的板條都是同樣的。 我可以用我整生的財產来与您打賭那些板条是不同樣的。 就好像我們都是人类一样，但是，精神上，心理上等等我們完全是不同樣的。 我希望燕屋主可以瞭解这一点。 如果您还是不明白，那么燕屋農場不应该是您的爱好，並且我建议您不應該涉及。

通常我仍然看見有板条問題的失败燕屋農場。 多数的人肯花費上十万在燕屋農場的建築上，但是當談到板條时，他們仍然使用那些最恶劣和便宜的板條。

有許多付了昂贵的价钱来买优良品质的Meranti板條，但是却被供應了恶劣和便宜的板條，原因就是他們根本不會辨認和區分它們。很多人相信Meranti Bukit就是您所要的答案，但是，就算是Meranti bukit也不保證发霉，如果那些木板在锯木厂沒有適當地被处理过。

有些只是付了「Meranti」的名字，但是受到的还是其他种类的木板。 我曾经告诉过我的一個讀者，如果您認為並且相信它是Meranti那么它就是Meranti….哈. .哈…

您是否知道有多少種类的Meranti木板(樹)？ …有上数百种，你們可以去上網檢查看。

我遇到許多认识關於板條很少的板條供應商。 大多數都是中間人，只想要赚些額外的钱。 技术上，當您问他們木板的風格名字时他們是不可能告诉您的。 如果他們根本不认识他們的產品，那么他們怎麼可能賣您好的產品呢？

上个星期我被邀請去參觀板條專門研究的锯木厂来检查他們的板條。 他們收集的板條是不错的，並且他們也有做所有的板條检测在將被送到顧客之前。 沒有木眼、沒有裂縫等等。 所有都是高的品质等级的。

唯一的弱点是木板的存货。 好的那些必須有時被預先訂貨。現在好的木板都是由傷痕的。 要得到他們是很难的。 有时我們必須等待几個月的时间。 現在要买到那些深紅品质的是很难的，这些就是我曾经几年前為我自己的燕屋農場所購買的質量。 无论如何，如果與其他板條供應商比較我仍然給這個锯木厂的2个大姆指的讚許。

所以當談到板條时，猜谜是没有用的。 您的燕屋農場也許有最佳的屋内环境，並且一切是在完美的，但是如果您的板條是发霉的，那么您的燕屋農場就是完蛋了。
