Guys, new farmer here. Had my first kg harvested!

1) How do you price your nest (uncleaned) based on what category?
2) what is AB nest? AA nest?

thanks

first:
corner, 180, 135

second
grade: 1 finger, 2 finger, 3 finger

third
white, black, less hair, lot hair, yellow

forth
with loose end(need trim) of double bao(mean make nest twice, inside got egg shell n shit) will deduct

Transformer for Owls.. go to KHIND electrical goods suppliers. Ask for High Tension transformer for Fly Killer/ Zapper.about RM80 each.. This gives about 4000V ac. enough to kill cicaks and burn the feet of owls.

Just place 3mm stainless steel metal rods about 25mm apart parallel. This should be the width of the in/out hole on the bottom side. Use ceramic or nylon to keep these rods apart and off the bottom of the hole. Connect each rod to each terminal of the transformer output. Connect the transformer to the mains via timer switch. Turn on between 7pm to 7am.

You can also make a stand inside the BH with the parallel rods separated by PVC pipe. Do not use wood as it will burn. The owl will get hot feet when it lands.

Owls always like to stand on something when they enter a BH.

Beware, the small type owl usually stands on a nearby tree and attacks the swiftlets when they are returning at night. It's quite a spectacle watching them catch fast incoming swiftlets. I resort to shooting these owls.

These past 3 months has seen a decline in birds in the sky as well as fewer nests and almost no eggs with lots of half built nests. Anybody speculate why? Production is down by 40% with many small nests, Many nest have remained empty for the past month.

Thanks bro...

Thank you sifu tuckfook

Heard that some rich guy are trying to monopoly the export of raw BN to china....??

thanks for the information. Will look into it.

Of no, not another one from Malaysia, last time it got EBN banned from import into China for several years. We are only just recovering.

Decline in food spurce

But via cctv show birds coming back at night remain the same though

Poor health keep me away from this forum but anyway, price going up and buyers giving very high price for poor quality nests even....maybe, they are really short of supply esp indo may has suffer a hugh decline of nests recently.

So, you know what to do, smart guys here...no need advice on selling

Just in case your birdhouse is at Subang Jaya...
