Why selling cheap ? what is the reason behind ?

Hi! Guys, I am new in swiftlet farming I need your advice. is it ok build a birdnest house near the cave of swiftlet for about 80 meters from the cave.

Found 15 dead birds scattered all over 1st floor.
Torso and head not found.
Only wings, tails, feathers and down left on the floor.
Need sifus opinion, based on the evidence on the "crime scene", what kind of predator could have caused such pattern?
My first thought was owl but owl swallow it's prey whole right?

Owls do not swallow their prey whole. It usually only eats the choice bits, sometimes only the insides.

This can be due to Owls or hawks. Now is the season of migrating sparrow hawks.

lao shu

go to shop and buy lao shu poison and mix it which nice food for them to eat e.g. peanut. hope it help you

Thank you very much for your feedback sir. Today I entered the BH and found another new casualty. This time the predator left behind some faeces.
I googled the faeces image of both owl and mouse, the faeces of mouse matches the faeces as per picture below. So I guess the culprit must be the mouse.

Google image if mouse faeces:


Yes sir. I think so. Thank you very much.
This is the first time my BH encountered such attack and I have no prior experience to identify the cause. Anyway I caught a tiny house mise in the control room today. Btw, my BH is located at kg area.

Guys any news on the latest price of raw EBN now . Small players like us get squeeze left right & centre by middlemen.


Thanks in advance.

After you catch the mouse, did the killing of your birds stop? I have similar thing happened to my bird house few days ago, still don't know which predators doing that.....Maybe tom I will try to put in some mouse trap ...Good luck to me....

Try to find entry point of the rats to your BH and close it up. Get rats poison that people use for palm oil plantation. Within weeks can kautim if you managed to find and close the entry point.

From own experience, rats breeding in my BH, managed to close the entry point, by hand killed near 6-7 offsprings trapped near the toilet with spade (grose ). Rat poison did the rest of work finished of the parents in the next visit. Any vertical pipes or wood that allow the rats to climb cover them with aluminum sheets.

Left behind like your case feathers all over the floor. rip to both birds n rats

anyone who like to update the latest raw nest price ?

Lumpsum RM 2300 to 2450. Mid to low feather AB + less C.

Yes, CNY hype few months ago.
The raw nest price softens, however I think demand is still there.

Thank you very much for the update on raw ebns. One collector trying to buy cheap.

Heard the prices maybe going up again. Anyone can share collectors contact please PM me or send to Lowyat group.

Thank you again.

Jerry_ann thank you for the update on the raw ebns. One collector trying to buy cheap offering about RM1500-1600 for my BC (with small qty of A) full cup nests. Its normal but if we keep our group members updated regularly we may not be short change that much .

Heard the prices may be going up. Anyone can share collectors contact either PM me or send to group. Thank you .

Rm1500-1600 dont sell. Now the super qingmao is above rm3300-3500. White big ab 2700-3000. Triangle now is rm2k already. Anything less than that, buy back from the agent see how is their reaction.

Actually it highly depends on the quality of your nest.
Color, humidity, dirtiness, thickness, size....etc
Generally speaking, average ones are above RM2k now.

Hi,

I would also like to have the collector's contact. Anyone can share ? PM me pls thanks!
