QUOTE(tuckfook @ May 15 2011, 12:22 PM) Electric fencing is a good deterrent, which I use but it is easy to defeat to the knowledgable thief. I use 15Kv from a neon transformer, non lethal to humans with a strong heart but the fall could be. It also keeps the owls away. BTW it is also run from a UPS as the thief usually switches off the mains power at the meter. Thanks I will look into electric fencing . Is a 500 w invertor good enough if the thieve were to cut the main power supply ?. I have no sympathy what so ever for robbers . It is only fair to loudly advertise that the BH is armed. If it is fatal so be it and probably set the dogs on the dead body that have fallen from the DK. I also have a small house for a caretaker but then these people can also be bought or defeated. Currently the offer is a cash reward for any thief caught. I am toying with the idea of a chemical spray that is activated by the intruder, the spray can be a dye that lasts for about 2 weeks or maybe pepper spray. It is easy to deploy outside the dog kennel or around the perimeter. Razor wire is also a good deterrent but they are unsightly and cheaper types rust very quickly. Makes the BH look like Alcatraz. The case of 4 gangster robbing a BH in Sadong Jaya area was shot and killed by villages and since then there has not been any report of thieved. |

Hahaha how many times I state that A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY.
I have pointed out the false claim of incredible result in a short time. I have been brewing my own aroma base on Pak Han formula for past 4 years and only for my own use. I am very sure that they are helpful to settled in the birds in new BH also served as a imprinting for young birds . If my aroma can pull in 1400 nests in 2 years I wouldn't be bordered to sell them and be laughing even in my sleep and at least owned 100 BHs all over south east Asia and inspecting by BH in my private jets. I wonder why this d*** head is still a struggling consultant ???? Bagger ! Oh by the way did you read about the new improved formula ??? Pls wake up readers if it's so powerful and good why do you need new formula ??.Oh there is a disclaimer !! If you complain that it is rubbish then the blame is on imitation LP HAHahaha Added on June 10, 2011, 12:59 amDear philoswiflet pls belief me that sound is probably the most important part in attracting swiftlets into your BH. The internal is even more important then the ext. Sound but at last the birds do get bored with even with the most effective sounds and need constant updating. I do know few very successful BH farmers they all record and edit their own sounds and never sell any of their sounds. Here again beware there are so many Sifu who just reproduce sounds from the shops and give them some very dangerous names and sell them for lots of money. One instant 3 very common sound were sold for 15 k in Sabah. The buyer is led to belief That they are so powerful and must be very expensive. Sucker ! Sorry I do not have any sound for sell and If I trust you and think you genuinely need help and a sincere person I will give you sound for free. They are not super sounds but bolah pakai lah !!

I plaster all my BH then using good undercoat and good paint mostly light colour. This is not only pleasing to the eyes also create a smooth surface that will prevent pest . Surface heat will decrease by as much as 5 degrees. BH must be built to last for ever and Eco friendly and bland well into the surrounding .
Workshop in Sabah few days ago recommend max 3 stories and max 36 ft high. For future BH. We must have pride and proud of your BH even if it's empty Wak Wak Wak. |

Just do a simple test plaster a small section and paint them white on tHe hottest day just use a laser and record the temp just 1 ft apart on painted surface and on the un plastered surface . You will be surprise.
You can also buy through the net additive that you mix the recommended amount to your paint ,this is the similar stuff that is used to coat the surface of space craft. I have been using these stuff for last 4 Years this allowed me to use single layer brick walls and achieve below 30 degrees in my area. All these is from my diligent research pls don't ask me to give you the details. |

Contact a relaible source and may be able to get reasonable good sound. Go to good seminar like the one conducted by Pak Han . I been to 6 of his seminars . Like tuckfook said nothing is for free neither is there any shortcuts. |

Pleasing to my eyes also leaving no crevices for pest to hide . Tuckfook mention that unplastered wall allows the interior of BH to breath. Agreed ! Depends on materials used.
Most BH are what I term as" dead BH " just a dark room and hope for the best. With the help of my HM group members Justin Tan and suggestion from Tuckfook ( I owe u ONE ), all my future BH is designed as "Life BH " Sorry don't ask for detail spent some $$ and do your own research. |

Chinese saying " I order to steal a chicken you need a handful of rice" meaning don't expect to get something for nothing. BH business ( if successful "is probably the only business that requires the itinal investment an after that there are hardly any more input other then intelligence and patients.
Go the extra mile and do all that is necessary and finished off a super BH that will not require alterations,expensive repairs and last forever. Be cost effective but not cheapo budget BH that will leak and fall apart before your first harvest. Good luck just my opinion for fun reading ! |

You say 80 nests and + 1 marking. This indicates that the BH is stagnant and the baby birds from your 80 nests are going to other BHs. Try regular servicing your bh checking for pest ,micro balance in the BH . If your BH is not comfortable to the birds they will not stay and only the old birds will.
I have come across 2 bh in Sabah suffering from the same problem ( one built by The writer) problem is now solved and steady growth have resumed. My shares BH in Kuching also share same problem . My partner prof. Andy Yap work very hard to stimulate and give live to the BH ,. Surprised the population is exploding in the last two months. I am actually in the airport very bored and on the way to Kuching to checked out the BH. If I have any exciting feed back will share with you. good luck |

My Sifu Pak quote ( I teach you to self diagnosis the problem with your BH and how to retify the problem ) unquote . But this come with years of research and experience from all the failures and mistake made on the way! Each BH and different areas is unique .

I have built suessful BH at 12 ft high and very sucessful bhssss at 8.5 ft to 9 ft. All My future BH will be 8 ft high and increase the BH to 3 floors . The condense BH Will add lots more nesting areas and increase the hight of your LMB and make it more difficult for the thieves . The in crease cost is negeable at about 12 o/o.
The advantage of lower celing as mentioned by WW is ease of harvesting ,checked out and changed tweeters and cost saving. Of cause swiftlets if fall on the floor can take off no problem at all. Yes lower celling will increase the chance of fungus if humanity is above 95. Morden technology in a morden IQ BH can control the interior climate in principal but I have not perfected the method yet !! But Akan dating hopefully. Use ones comment sense leave hole section of floor slab open and increase the inter floor ventilation. This will effectively balance the temp. And humidity . Just my opinion and good luck. |

I wonder If the chicken farmers are charged per sq. ft for their chicken farms. The pig farmers and goat farms , are they all charge by the sq. ft for their farms ??? The fish farmers and prawns farmers are they also charged for the areas of their fish ponds ??
If not then why penalized birds nest farmers ??? |

All you suckers pls wake up and don't part with your hard earned money to this con.Just for your information this hairy crab commissioned a 3 stories BH in Sabah which remains empty after 8 months . The superedly built bh was installed with neatly 1000 speakers. All 3 floors are totally blocked with 6 so called useless VIP rooms. The owner MR Y.. Built at great expences 2 insect rooms which remains empty. The LMB goes through 2 rooms before helicoptered down the 10ft x 15 ft air well in total darkness then fly through a corridor to U turn into the VIP rooms. Most of the nesting planks are suspended about an inch from the celing and this so called Sifu and a celebrety master in Vietnam never advise MR Y.. This most simple mistake ! I help Mr Y.. To revamped this BH for free . Rewired the whole BH and have few hundred tweeters for sale back to this Hairy crab. Of cause he now Refused to return mr Y..'s call. Same as Mr G.N.

Just make your BH as simple as possible . Quote from my Guru Pak Han " Straight in and straight out" No parittions when the birds goes into the BH the whole Nestimg Room is a VIP room." Unquote. Think !! or ask hairy crab he specialized in your type of design go ask him . My 3 cents.

QUOTE(West Wing @ Jul 9 2011, 08:45 PM) As D day for the industry is getting nearer but still many owners blasting their sound as if they have the right to do so without consideration of others feeling. I LIKEThat's really bad for the trade esp. in the town and it's like giving reasons for the opposition of the industry to fire hard on us. Be kind and considerate to thy neighbours so that where the time come, you may have them for support but at least you got lesser enemies. Spare some sympathy to those who are going to fight your battle to ensure that you can remain in town by not creating unnecessary sound polution which is the main complaint and disturbance causes in the industry so far and yet we still cannot prevent such uncooperative owners. I have proven that without bird calls ( internal and external ), I still have healthy growth in my old BH so it's not asking you not to play Birdcalls but to soften it and ensure that nobody is disturb by your BH. This way, you have already help those @ Association who are going to negotiate how best to allow all to remain @ town. I sympathy and pity those guys who are to battle for you but you aren't cooperating....and for that reason, I quit helping the Association to ensure the safety of the BHs @ town even though mine are also affected. Why should we help if you aren't helping yourself and worst damaging the very chances of getting a better deal for all. Do ensure all your neighbouring BH owners cooperate by not disturbing the peace and worst, some even dump fertilizer into the drain (never on your own drain but over the other side) when no one looking...............why like that????? Real shame on you if you are one of those!!!!!!! |
