You can get almost anything related to swiftlets at GMYs and I always thought the pricing is reasonable. I love the fact that you can place your order through email, make payment and the stuff arrives.

As with anything, there are always cheap and expensive premium products. Sometimes you pay for other people's creativity / intellectual property.

That Mr Tan!!!! He teach all to use right cleaning method and ensure that all nests are 100% pure and now, he is trying to push Rednest ????? Hope that not the truth cos I even heard of him trying to sell China investors  the idea of breeding and  swiftlets farming in China and one friend told me that he sold alot of eggs to him for this venture.

How true is it, I pun tak tahu lah??? So, Mr. Tan, I think maybe you also read this forum can kindly explain?

Creating Artificial Red Nest is not a secret. The methods can be obtained from Indon literature.

Short term gains but others suffer in the long run. I agree with WW that Mr Tan should explain himself here.

If you can see birds flying in the area, then there is no need to conduct a bird call test. However, you must be sure that it is the correct species.

A bird test will tell you if it is the right bird as look-alikes do not respond to bird call. Anyway, a bird test call is cheap, simple and quick, so when in doubt, just do it. No harm done.

Hi WW.

<.....WW, have you heard of a big project for BH in Jerangau, somewhere near the polo club. News or rumours that 40% harvest there is blood nest!!! I thought West Malaysia do not have blood nest, very confuse  ..............
No need confuselah. Think logically and you will find the answer.

WW,

It is so true what you mentioned about non-members blasting their swiftlet call without giving due consideration about the disturbances and discomfort caused to neighbours.

Most are successful ones having been in the business as pioneers and so couldn't care less about others.

Thanks Aeiou,

I wasn't born then or should say that I wasn't using the forum discussing or even getting involved in any discussion at all on any matter until I found my true Love with swiftlets matter.

Thank again for the info.

Greedy and unscrupulous people caused a lot of damage to this industry. We roughly know who these people are because they were champions of red nests before. Worse still Malaysia gets all the blame and bad press. So Indonesian ebn will be no 1 as far as the Chinese in China is concerned.

Lump Sum today is RM2600/kg. Heard that market in China is stabilizing and hopefully prices will rebound.

From cave to house, captivated to free, as long as nutritional values of bird nest from any sources remain pure
and original, no genetically modified birds produced bird nest made available in the market,
only then will we develop our own brand and reap the benefits in terms of our investment. 
Just trying to add a bit more to my view on the true values of bird nest. That's all.

Yesterday my partner told about his BN harvest was loss due to 4 legged pests tearing through his plastic bag. Nearly 10kilo gone.
I did advise him to buy a freezer since it's a relatively cheap investment.

For our current 10-months old JV rented bh, quite disappointing no bird dropping improvement even when we did not enter for 6 weeks after seeing a swiftlet fly in.
Last week we sealed the old dog kennel entrance and opened a new roof entrance. A hose disconnected from the tap and flooded the top floor. Coincidentally it made the whole floor have that BH smell because the droppings and ammonia were soaked wet.
Yesterday while making some improvements to the water catchment and partition walls got a few individual swiftlets flew in while we working.

Now got a bit of hope biggrin.gif

Wow, the four-legged babies must be having very smooth skin & furs.

Not easy to attract new birds, especially for the first half of 2011 due to unfavorable weather conditions...that's what I gather but I could be wrong.

Somebody is making hay while the sun shines. We all suffer. Just hoping for a quick recovery for all ebn ranchers.

Patiently waiting for the prices to rebound. For those servicing loans on their BHs, I hope the waiting period is not too long and will be able to ride out the current uncertainties.

Simply put, is there a limit to the number of tweeters? I think that is what WW wants to know, and many of us too.

The conductor of many cheap cables are not made of pure copper. Some got iron mixed into it and will easily rust. Some are mixed with aluminium and prone to oxidation.

Try using pure copper conductor cables. Try burning with a cigarette lighter. The pure copper ones will not melt or burned out.

Majlis Daerah Tanjong Malim http://www.mdtm.gov.my/web/guest/home has adopted 1GP and their PBT has produced a very good presentation for Swiftlet Ranchers to obtain licensing for their BHs.

Download their guidelines in pdf from the link below:

http://www.mdtm.gov.my/c/document_library/...e=DLFE-3002.pdf

I hope all PBTs can use this as their model.

Syabas kepada PBT Tanjong Malim for being a shinning example to other PBTs. Wish other state government can do the same.

Kedah also has similar guidelines but Tanjong Malim's is simply the best so far.

We were informed that the state guidelines will be ready in 2 - 3 month's time. PBT will then adopt them.

I don't have much confidence in getting license from PBT so soon.

WW, your proposal about licensing for agri BH is good but then, this government is going broke, susahlah ini macam free punya barang.
