To live a life is so difficult  now and will be worse in the future esp. for the ones like us who are neither B nor M. You need to be smart and see the future and depand only on yourself for if you fail, nobody will going to bail you out, cos you are neither of both. They can have their loans wirtten off but you can't and so you have only one change to make it good, else you are down and there will no second change to climb up.

Be wise, never invest all your wealth into one area, invest only what you can afford because your excess money became smaller and smaller each day and it is so fast that your FD hardly cove 10% of the inflation. Lucky that I have invested in BH 6 years ago for that I am able to sitting chatting with you or otherwise with my 100,000 life insurance can hardly buy me a decent place to stay when I retire 10 years from now.

Palm Oil prices has gone too high and that to invest now is rather too expensive and opportunity now is to convert your small land to BH and with small investment, you may have a opportunity to retire in style. No hard work, simple clean up job and picking nest that even a 70 years old can do.

Tongserseng,

Me, I don't have problem getting loan from Banks and they offer me 80% of the total cost of buildiing but as from bank Pertanian, I read from Harry 's website....he maybe able to enlighten you on the matter. I am going to build another soon if I get to buy the land and I already get consent from the bank's manager if ever I need a loan. So, I don't understand why you find it so difficult nowaday to get loan.........

What I don't see is that big town guys like to buy big fast car spending over 100K and not able to buy building which appreciate in price and many folds if the building is a successful BH. Don't change your car and you will able to invest in BH and 3 years later, you maybe able to buy your dream car in cash.
I did and I am proud to say that I did it in  3 years so can you. Sorry if I sound  boosting but that I want to share my good fortune to others and I want others to share my God's given wealth; I am not selfish and want you to try and if you are successful, just remember me and pm me when you become rich as I will be very happy knowing that I have help another fellow man.

Is they hunt the food there ?  or Drink water there ?  Because my friend also saw so many swiftlets fly around the top of the pond at Loji Air at Kg. Wak Salam, Jalan Jemaluang, Mersing every evening.   

Yes, there are a lot of agriculture land want to sell, one is 36 erka @ RM48K, 25 yrs oil palm, its is like a bukit, just infront of Loji Air, besie is jungle, 500 meters away to Sungai Mersing. 

Lesson no.1

Just a friendly warning to any newbie wishing to enter this wonderful world of BH ranching.......beware of nice sweet talking consultants.......some newbizs have already got bitten. After you pay them, you and BH end up high and dry.

One of them is KH as you all know..........a besok rusa type( today tomorrow type)  and as a introducer, I end up doing his work  and  as his absorber.. so, pls. really be careful. Get a consultant you know or thru your friend, a introducer for at least you can kick the ass of the introducer like me.

You also pay, poor you and now you need someone to help you to do a damage report on what went wrong...........so much money spend, maybe some Sifus here can give you some tips on your problems if you provide them with better understanding of your BH. I called this "Case Study" and to do this, you need "Case History"........................................maybe, some monies needed, to buy and renovate abit..............but most importance of all is the result.  I only give my humble 3 cent suggestion  but no Sifus........so I pass the ball to the grand masters.

Posting complaints here got response / feedback pretty fast eh? tongserseng. 

Hi, Everybody,

I am a newbie in town. Recently, I come across a no. of billboards advertising an ISO 9001 certified birdnest consultant/contractor, Yenzheka, all over in Klang. Thinking of engaging him, any advice ?

Bro,

Not all consultants are bad................................read their titles carefully.......it's consultant and not CON sultant lah. Do engage a consultant if you need one but be careful to pick the right one. Need help after that, you may refer to the forum and most of our SIFUs here are generous in giving their comments and advices when appropriate. All Free and here you too need to be careful also, we all are just human.

In my little experience, it is more difficult to build a new BH and it is better to buy an existing one cos' it is easy to find fault in existing one and you do have more confidence as the BH has already some nests. If you have a empty Shoplot or land, go ahead to build new BH as you have all to gain and m=nothing to lose.............................even no bird during the first few months. trust me if your location is goo, there is no reason to fail.

Again, this is only my humble opinion

To all Sifus
I will be building a 20' x 70' x 11' x 3 storey BH on a agri land soon but still undecided on the design and lay out of the BH.   
I would appreciate if you can share your experience and expert opinion in this matter.

I with you...................need not be 20 feet wide as you are not building it in town, then it shall only be 20-24 feets at the most. In your AG land, make them wider so that you can renovate easier and more space for the birds to main main lah.

How big it all depend on your budget and as for me, I rather have 2 normal ones than to have a big 60 by 100 BH . A normal 2 floors BH  when full can have more than 4000 nests. What's more can you ask for? So, if 2 BHs, the total shall be 8000 nests if both are successful. Two chances is always better than one. Let say, if one 35 by 70, 3 stories BH if full may extend sideway to make it 70 by 70 later and that I would like to see. Wah...over 100 kgs of nest value at Rm4K......what do you get per harvest?

A dream?.. all millionaires all started with a dream and I hope you success.........

Swiftlet farming is not as easy as you think any more , most of the people simply jump to this business without thinking three times because after hearing people collecting money just as simple as digging the gold and of course most of the times we heard people say once we got a pair to enter that it will be enough slowly it will increase but How slow????

In now days if you still wish going in to his business , my friend I honestly advise you to think for 5 times before going in and I have some experienced would like to shared a long . I have a friend who already in this business for almost 20 years of course he is very successful most of the times people just wish to steal his bird from his house and 8 years ago a guy who is know as a consultant and people just called him ‘Bird King’ also think like this he started to build his bird house beside my friend building and he fail to attract even one pair of bird at the beginning so modification had been done for almost 6 times he renovate his building and finally until today he only get about 100 plus nest so he goes out and tell people that he manage to get about 10kg of bird nest per month. How I now his production because my fiend worker just enter his house before coz this guy who claim him self as the ‘Bird King ’ ask my friend worker to give some idea on his bird house.

There are a lot of this story repeat and repeat most of the time people do get some bird or maybe their bird house just stop to increase after  few years may be it just settle down at 100 plus nest that you will faint coz by a house for only 100 nest you are hard to ‘cari makan ‘ than if you are lucky enough than it set down at 1000 nest that I wish to congratulate you but trust me the percentage to archive this is very very low

So my friend if now days you wish to build the bird house for your children or grand child than you may go ahead but remember you must have enough money to do modification if your bird house are not successful don’t spent them once ,If not you will really suffer ,so think few times I am not here to afraid you but some times don’t simply heard people saying how good in this business but you still have to know the risk in this business. The money where you already putting in is hard for you to earn back .Think twice before going in besides if your self really have that kind of technique and knowledge about this bird , if you need other people hand so your money will be going out like water so is better don’t go for it try find other way to invest beside this field because it is now very hard for you to get a pair of bird.
