Are you kidding??? So Many and if you asked, anyone here having unsuccessful Bh, you get similar answers, too.......

You must be new and what can we do for you???? Hunting for a successful BH, you came to the right place if the price is great! Nothing in the world cannot be sold.................people with principle are so rare and I am one of those rare but crazy one.

This question is best reserved for WW to answer    So your average price is RM4,647 per KG ?

Have been using the Taiwanese humidifiers with success as in most of my friends for years. Recently, I have tried and still in the process of trying and initial result is OK. I bought them from Fucibin and got distributor's price for it as I told them that I am a retailer for BH products and would like evaluate their products. Fucibin's Ultrasonic Humidifier produce alot of water molecules (smoke)  and  has excellent backup for their products and I love their keen interest in listening to your complaints unlike many sellers.

If you are buying from Fucibin, get the cheaper version and ask if they provide you with additional hose to divert the smoke into the BH. Presently as busy as I am, I am experimenting with self made ultrasonic humidifier as I just got hold of the set of disk and power supply from China and hope that my few hundreds water container system work as well.

Since what I was scare that the ultra sound created by the oscillator of the vibrating discs may have adverse results on the swiftlets, I place the ultrasonic humidifier  outside the BH and blow it into the BH using a small blower fan and long piping and it's OK......although, I still think that the Taiwanese humidifier is the best so far as it's cheap and easily maintained plus that it's proven to be successful with the birds.

The only disadvantage of the Taiwanese humidifier as I see it is that they wet the floor although this shouldn't  be a problem with agriculture land but certainly a big problem with town as the lower floor's tenant may complaint.  Recently, this has been solve by placing a 4 horned helmet over the humidifier and no more water on the floor. With the cover, you basically can run the Taiwanese humidifier for hours without worrying that you may flood the floor of your BH.
What's say the forum??

Here, me and my friends collect nests when it's time to collect and that's when the birds fledged and leave its nests.

Let me tell you what we just did these few days..........me and my Friends. Went up to the BH and checked out the nests and collected nests that the birds have fledged and at the same time marking on those nests which the birds are almost going to fly out. This way, we will not wrongly remove nests. These marked nest will be harvested in a week or two.......so, during this period, we shall be quite busy in the birdhouse harvesting the right nests and although, a few kilo a time and the remaining next round. It may take afew round of harvesting to harvest all but then,  we will be sure that the new birds if any will stay as we didn't harvest their nests.

Long ago, we can proudly proclaim that once our birds, always our birds but then, time is different now as there are too many choices around and the birds do have a choice.......... Glad to understand that the swiftlets still faithful to us because we have been kind to them and they return with their new found friends and mates. If only my male swiftlets can have 4 wives ....and the last phase is a joke, hahaha

Selective Monthly Harvesting is good, too as you should have nests all year round but then make sure that you only harvest nests that bird fledged. By looking at the floor may help you to know if the above  a new or used nest and also, the reflection from the mirror on the nest do help. I did selective harvesting in one of my  nearby BH as I do have the time to do it and even during the monsoon time, I still have chicks and eggs in the BH while others BHs around seem to be empty. Sometime, this is a wasteful method as you may missed some nests that will be bird fledge and reused before you have the opportunity to harvest. Anyway, this is a good way for the increment of birds staying and for my religion..............unless you share the same feeling.

Like always, above are only my own way of providing sanctuary for swiftlets to share.

Hi Mois,

Which part of Sarawak are u from?

now price dropping simply due to our currency stronger than before. so no indon come to 'sapu', so the market plenty of stock now. furthermore, now is major harvesting season. after this season, not much harvest due to storm and heavy rain esp. in east coast.
