Who to support also don't know then better don't support any. Support Obama better since got member of the family got buy some USD.

This insulation foil is really working.

what is this for? looks like a dustbin insulated? emmm...forgive my lack of knowledge.

Click on SAMGAN's blog site link he's selling farming equipment. Heat from sunlight consist of 2 elements i.e. radiant heat and conduct heat. The aluminum foil will repel radiant heat and the air inside the bubble sheet will work as insulation to block conceal conduct heat away. Air is a good heat insulation in fact over 90% of polystyrene Styrofoam is air. Works like a type of silver colour car windscreen glass shade to reduce heat.

oh ok. thanks see seng.

2nd look and it look more like what you'd described.

btw, where do u put this foil? inside the house?

internal....jus a layer before you tile up the brick...n a layer on the roof before you start knocking up the wood.....erm...hope u und wat i said...

oh ok. meaning pre-construction.

anyway, to all the sifus, what's your observation about :

1. new build farms
2. farms that use old buildings

Is there any difference in the ability to attract birds?

Samgam, yscargo, Of course it is best to put the layer before you tile up your roof tile. However, I think we can also use it after the roof has been installed (post construction) by sticking and knocking it up to the wood below the roof. Need to know and seek your advise whether this way is effective?

zar7677, its depend on how you think it suitable for you....as for me, i do double layer if the bird hse is newly build up.....but for converting old shop to bird hse, i will onli put a layer of the foil....
by the way, i also hav a layer of thick foam (polystrene ---> hope im saying the right product) together with the foil......
so, it realli depends for me....im not sure how other thinks....

either item 1 or 2 if can meet the micro habitat all can and the areas must be populated location of birds

How to say this, for you can only compare old building to new building and not new BH building which is specially built for Swiftlets.

For new Swiftlets BH, it depend on the Sifu who do the renovation and the abilities to attract birds depend on the ability of your Sifu.

For old building vs new building of same height, normally old building shall be much better than new one. If the new building is much higher, then there shall be a changes that the new one will fare better in years to come. I have seem many old houses without renovation have hundreds of nest sticking to the ceiling and even the electrical wiring is not spare. In trying to s, normally higher building attract more swiftlets.

I am no Sifu, that's my humble observation during past many years.

hi everybody sifu,sister n bro,
i m still new in swiftlet farming..
i m interested in swiftlet farming and now planning to build a swiftlet house..
hope everyone can give some opinions and advises to me..!!!

During one of my BH inspection, I found some shit in different part of the farm which different from the swiftlet's shit and I am very sure it does not belong to the swiftlet. It is found near to the wall.

After keeping a close watch at the entrance hole for more than a week in the evening I saw something fly in beside the swiftlets and I suspect it is a BAT. What should I do................. Any suggestions.....

Oboy...you are lucky and you came to here for there are so many Sifus.......James, Swiftbuild, and many others and you can go to their sites to view first then ask questions on this forum if you do not understand. Here, we are all your Pals and we are always ready to help, don't you, Sifu?

Check out all the websites and if you need directions, just ask and they will be most willing to forward you to their sites. Ask questions, give intelligence comments but never criticize.

Calvin

Yeah,here got a lot of Sifu included u
how dare i critic u'll????
i m a newbie...u'll eat salt more then i eat rice(in chinese)
say thanks to you'll 1st because ready to lend me ur hand..

Get rid of the bat. One method is to use a fishing net and then dispose of the bat far away. Swiftlets dislike bats and it will affect your swiftlets growth.

One reason why you put light above the entrance is to prevent bats and owl from entering and if you cannot get them out, catch them and put them far away. Remember to clean away the bat shit and smell.

Hey, anyone has Bat repellent, hahaha

That my humble suggestion, I am no Sifu.........only an old BH Rancher.

Calvin

bat!! vy bad!!....hope sifu's out there can help...i got 1 unit happen to be like this as well......
try to counter attack many times but still come back....
so....scratch head also...hahahaha.....
but for what i know, there are few reason n few method
reason bad coming in:-
too dark inside
too new
too rural area

method to fix this:-
change entrance hole
switch on the light for sometime inside the birdhouse
put some aroma on the bat spot!.....

but 3 of this method i have done...stil some little baby bat coming bat....but i think they quite frenly....
the bat jus stay 1foot next to my bird...jus worry 1 thing is dat they will eat up my nest.....sigh sigh
