Wrong liao like that. You need buy humidifier, for starter can get the Taiwan brand one. Forgot the price. RM3xx-rm4xx i think. The bird poop supposed to look wet wet. If humidity high, your harvest can increase 15-20%. Say your nest 140 piece =1kg. Maybe that 140pieces now become 1.1kg-1.2kg.

But becareful also. Too high humidity will cause the nest leg look yellowish, that is the sign of too high humidity. Fungus also a problem.

Come on, Chinese medicine shop how many selling white nest? Most yellow nest claim to be from the man made 'cave' wor bangwall.gif

The way the industry going:-

1. more BHs close shop
2. more young birds dying before even hatching
3. more nest kena whitening
4. more kissing goodbye to hard earning $$ bye.gif

Do not keep inside box. At least let it open. Depend on your nest thickness. If thin, just keep it dry. If thick like sarawak or thailand, then you really have to put in freezer. Not recommended. Better sell it else within 2-3months it will change color due to moisture inside the nest strand. Your points are correct about the future of this industry is going. Last time depressing price. Now the price is better but nothing to buy/sell. Here is Sarawak mostly drop in population. Consider lucky if can maintain.

NEED ADVICE ON INTERNAL TWEETERS ARRANGEMENT

Dear Swiftlet sifus / enthusiast,

I have been given an opportunity to "take-over" / look after
a BH from my family years ago. unfortunately i have been to busy with work and i didnt
pay much attention to it.

Until recently i have been reading this forum from time to time.
it really triggle my interest and passion !
i have done some changes inside the BH
and i decided to put some effort into it.

Some partitions have been removed to avoid too many "S flaying path".
that allows me to have an "open" flying space ( 4 square boxes) and a room.

I am having hard time to rearrange the tweeters, i have very little knowledge .
it has only "Vertical" planks, there's no cross / "horizonal planks.
so i place the tweeters ( side and middle) all towards and facing door way?
or some of the side tweeters can be both " left and right"?
[COLOR=red]

I have attached 2 design as below. ( GREEN is the partition , GREY is the ceiling beam)
i really need some advice.



Design A : all tweeters facing 1 direction
Design B : tweeters along the wall, facing front n back
( the plan/layout is not to scale)

Dear gerald7,

It is a 5-year old BH. The BH is huge ( at least to me ). it is a 5-Storey BH.
i would say currently the max of nests will be approx 50 PCS inside the BH sad.gif .
The design is kinda weird to me though.
The roving area is located in the middle of the BH. There are left and right sections.
The layout i attached previous was the right section,where most of the birds and nests are.
( the left section will be mirror image of the right section)

Grd/1st /2nd floor , left section of 3rd & 4th are temporary "sealed / closed " up.
my intention is to focus on the upper floor right section on 3rd & 4th floor. which i have been working
on little by little since awhile ago.

I wanted to upgrade cuz i realized there are too many issues causing the slow growth of the BH.
there are too many partitions which restrict the birds to fly freely,
and old tweeters are not working and might be positioned wrongly, the cables/ wiring are falling apart
from the tweeters.

There are many birds playing outside the BH. if there are birds playing outside why arent they staying.
that tells me must be something's wrong inside the BH. sad.gif
