mois, have you heard of about the 3 issues highlighted by Cergau? Which association do you belong too and whether your friends in the business are also aware of these problems? Can you help to spread around and whether it's a threat to them?

Beofre that, which forum did you find any discussion about the swiftlet industry.

Im just doing some fact finding whether there's another planet/group/life/www/forum etc that shares the same stories like the one in lowyat. We don't want to be isolated group not knowing that there are other active groups in the malay forums or community from another world that could also spread the news together.

Just bought 2 acre of agriculture land for Rm320K and that's very expensive.

What to do as I have been waiting for the price to drop and it still go up due to the swiftlets fever...................just last year, the same area, per acre is only Rm45K and Rm100K last month and now Rm130K and it must be crazy. If I don't buy it, I am sure by the time I die, I still be planing to buy!!!!!!

So I closed both eyes and buy cos if I die. Some of my friends must be laughing as I told them that it's too expensive to buy agriculture land at such high price as no oil palm or rubber tree can generate enough even for the interest and I went and buy!!!!! So silly of me!!!!!

hahaha...i know what u mean now! thx.
by the way, juz browsed thru the v1 & found one of sifu mentioned this:
1) 1kg of birdshit mix 1 litre of water, then ferment it for 10days
2) add fish oil in the ratio of 1:3 birdshit solution

however, fish oil ...where to get from the market instead of making ourself? or any alternative? e.g. duckegg?
 

Things that you don't understand is best not to use if you are trying to lure birds and not shark or eagle......these are swiftlets and the very reason for the Bird shit (not even human's) will be the same. Mixture percentage isn't an important for you are trying to make your building just like the swiftlet's home so the smell will definately attract the swiftlets into the building.... to be a birdhouse if you do it well.

Some posting @ forum are trying to make fool out of the newbizs by posting alot of nonsenses. To us, all shit smell like shit anyway but to sensitive swiftlets, swiftlets shits are swiftlets' and no other smell is the same........so, just leave experimenting to the old hand who can afford to so as their swifltets will never leave even if we try hard to chase them away; they will return again and again until they give up and that's they will.

Newbizs best try out those tested ways so as to be safe....for to you, every head is counted, I mean the swifltets and you will be worried if your BH fall short of afew but to those successful ones, a hundred missing, they still don't know.

One crazy friend that I met even suggested adding some "Kuat" pills to the humidifiers as he found that most of his birds aren't active in love making during the monsoon time and maybe they just need a booster dose to get the birds going hahaha and that he did and after afew days, he told us that it wasn't working but then, he has already thousands of birds in his BH and has no worry at all...just that we all have a good laugh over his stupidity.. have fun
