to all swiflet farmers, i am not involved in this field, but many friends of mine are into it in my hometown in SITIAWAN. recently, when i went back to my hometown, i found out the swiflet farming activities had decrease dramatically in SITIAWAN. i did not get a chance to chat with those related persons, but i would like to know why is this activities decreasing dramatically in SITIAWAN ? perhaps some swiflet farmers from Peak can answer it. Thanks and good luck to all swiflet farmers.

wonder will this field get affected by the expected recession in world economy....not sure how does the demand/ supply looks like from global point of view...

was anyone selling bird nest impacted by the USD drop against RM? wonder why it reduces since the importing countries are HK,China,Taiwan etc(someone wrote), and these countries' currency shouldn't fluctuate much against RM...can someone enlighten? (unless main importer is from US then too bad...)

like that boh hua(not worth it) lor...or they should still use USD but pay more in USD...especially when we know USD is sliding slowly versus other currency...

heard some farmers are quite reluctant to sell since the price slided in terms of RM, any comments?

Dear Seeseng,

Are U still taking raw birdnest at Rm 4600 per kg and what is the minimum kg that you normally take? Thank you.

Added on February 24, 2008, 11:48 amif it;s just a few boxes, does my friend need to pay tax for it in china?

if just 2两, which is 2 boxes, can i just go to any courier center and post it to china? then how does this PERHILITaN tax me? or i need to go to their office and tell them i'm going to sent this and pay the tax first??

Sending 1 piece would not be an accurate way of grading.  Which one am I suppose to pick for you ? the louziest or the best from the batch?
If I send you the best and when you buy the whole batch you will complain that I am cheating. If I send the louziest, the price would not be fair to me. 
As the nest are not sorted out, there are mixed of big, small, nice , not so nice ,etc
Sometimes , the nest are really nice and big and minimum feathers. Sometimes they are not so clean. 1 thing for sure is that my nest are really dry.  I try to send you some high quality pictures later. So far , have sold 20-30 kilos to friends and relatives. prices range from 4,500 to 8,000 per kilo.  How about I weight 100 gram - 200 gram then take high quality pictures of it , we negotiate on the price and then I send to KL on the agreed price and you pay to my relative in KL.
Please be informed, I will be out of reach on 2/03/08 to 8/03/08  ( will be out of country)

Hi seeseng, Hi everyone.

It's been a while since my last visit... alot of things happened huh.

Got one question here...
My farm got alot of those flea. Their size is damn tiny.
Whenever i went in, those flea will bite me like crazy and my whole body gets itchy.
Alot of those flea hide inside the nest as well.

Any idea how to solve this?

**nest tech got sell those flea control stuff... but i bet it will be expensive one. So i'm looking for other alternatives**

Let say if i don't wish to buy the pesticide, and let the flea bite the baby bird.
What is the worst effect will bring to the bird?

weihow, Mana you sudah pergi? Its good to have you back. Seeseng how are you? Bulan lost in T'ganu.
My place Opp win. Bird house no worries for 4-5 years.

got some more news here,that it,next GE better know what to do la,the GE show them a lot of thing already but what to do promise can be change any time in big blue.

Hi Seeseng & Hello to all swiftlet master,

This is LogMac from Penang & I'm new here. I sincerly hope that i can be given a chance to learn from anyone of you in this trade.

I think I've encounter tempretue problem at my newly build farm @ village near Kuala Kangsar ( 6 mths of age ). 
I DIY the farm myself & Its a 14'x70' 1 storey with zinc roofing & open roof concept. Todate there are only 2 nests - 1 fully complete the other just trace of nest base.
The recorded minimum tempreture at night reaching 21 deg. Is there any solution to bring up the tempreture in a cost effective way?

My humble opinion - Due to the recent iregular climate change with longer rainny season (in a way is good to swiftlet for more food supply), those farms which is in remote area or closer to any hill nead to take precaution on structure insulation otherwise extra cost needed to optimise the tempreture, just like me......

Appreciate any advise & opinion.
Thnx in advance.

Hi LogMac and all old timers, Seeseng, Swifbuild etc on this forum

I've been following all the remarks , ideas and topics discussed here on this forum
I'm very new here, hope u guys wud welcome me . Thanks.

I'm from SP and just like most guys, having the urge to own a birdhouse.

Need some advice from u guys.
I've got a single storey house on my land in a kampung.

It's in a Tanah Lot, just one house beside my land
Nearest house is a neighbour's bungalow, abt. 50 metres away

I was thinking of converting my single storey rented house into a birdhouse after reading Logmac's comments on his bird house.

Hope u guys and LogMac can advise me if birds wud fly in at lower height, abt. 12 feet high above ground...
Thanks

Hi. Seeseng
Regarding your time frame of bird call test, can we just run it just like any existing BH from +/-7:30am to pm?
How to determine the path of birds going out for foods in morning, direction of birds return if we don't know/or do not have BH at all?
What is the meaning of bird central (central of populated BH area or .....?)

Appreciates any advise

Thank U
