Wau, V R now in V4 and still running hot and together we may make a record....SeeSeng must be proud.

4K nests in over 4 years, if I believe that I could do it then, would I sold it so cheaply, but that's the good old days. And it's over 6 months and not a year! I was also surprised what then it's too late and did you know after afew years, how many nests were in the BH which was sold again to another buyer and this time, it was sold for over 5.5M  and the BH had over 10K nests according to the seller then.

Now, I think that the amount may drop some as the new owners modified the BH according to their way and from friends that they harvest the BH monthly. Why modified when the good was running as I always preached and his loss maybe my gain as one of my BHs is close to this BH and I shall be expecting better harvest next time around; thanks to this Chai Sen Yeah.

That's why I always said that when you care for the birds, the birds will remember you and always return to your BH, their home and with them, their descendants and even to great great grand swiftlets, relatives  and friends........

There are really many of such successful BHs around and the only difference between us is that I share but they didn't for reasons known to all here and some personal ones, too. Sucessful ones in towns and well as on agriland but more difficult on agriland due to many known problems.

Having a few thousand over a few years isn't very difficult if you get all rights; Right place, Right timing and Right conditions and you can see the growth that you never seen before......... there are still such luck now but no one is telling.

Even now, out of hundreds new BHs, there are some very successful ones, some average but most of them slow or fails as there are some many new BHs with not many owners willing to allow the birds to breed ( excluding me and some here of course). Their aims now focus more on better quality nests fetching premier price meaning white nests so they will remove nest before the birds lay their eggs and after the birds lay their eggs........no shit on the nests, you get prefect nests with no stain at all.

Which way is better of the two evils, someone did ask me and I did advice some and has since regretted telling them as they are doing what I told them to do which isn't good for the growth of the birds.

The most honorable and humane way is to allow the birds to fledged and thus repaying "the duck that lay golden eggs" and helping others to grow and also you; you may have thousands nests but afew more thousands would be better, right? The most importance of all, your own soul! Just by allowing the birds to multiply and fledged and just one successful BH can and do support 10 BH in the area. Just imagine that the 10K nests BH allow their birds to fledged and there shall be approximately 20K new birds and that's just one time and most new BHs ask for only 100 nests in a year and so you need only to capture their 5% fledged birds; you got three times to try in a year.

If only that the Chinese now insist on brown nests (after the RED nests and the bleaching whites) to be the most healthiest and safest then I would be blessed.

sosos, where your BH located?
