Hi All Sifus,

This is my first post in this topic n I am new in swiftlets farming. 

I got around 330 nest in 1.5 years and I am surrounded by 6 BH shops in the same row n back row. 
Location in Pahang. 

Right beside my shops has 3 BH in a row and the last one has around 1000 nest where that BH open 1 month earlier than mine. 

Last week, I have done a few modification.
1. install a mist pump in the BH since almost all nest are broken n funny shape. 
2. Took away the partition to make the room bigger. 
3. Changed the so call better internal and external
 sound. 
4. Took away the "tongkat" at the top of the roof.
5. Cover all small holes here n there to make the resting area in total dark if possible. 

Are above modification correct?
Is there anything  else that I can do to increase the birds in my BH shop?

Please help.

The lady told me that they are upgrading their system. By early next year, we can renew our swiftlets license on 3 years basis.

Cheers

Thank you for your comment Northface. I think u r right on step by step changes since I notice reduction of swiftlets ; (

Other Sifu please comments if possible..
Arigato..

Is good if the officer ask u to get a license. Not every place can get license. Even my place have stop issuing license.

Not sure about langkawi..

Any Sifu here is from pahang? Mentakab, Jerantut or Termerloh? If your are free, we can have a cup of coffee to "bird" talk. I have just modified my double story shop BH after some studies here n there. I realise we will get addicted n very exciting when we talk about swiftlets ; )
