As u have mentioned Sabah, the property there is not cheap as I know. 3 storeys shop 1.5 million above more expensive than Subang Jaya n the speding power is very low.

Good to hear that yr farm will be opened next week. I can't wait to have mine finished soon. I guess once openned its the time for observation n rectify any short coming. Tell me which tweeter works the best . U have 3 diff in yr farm I m sure the birds must favor one. Have u tried out yr nailer? How is it? Workable? Have try on the cement? How?  I m sure it is fun. Let me know. Since u mentioned yr sprinkle in farms , I wonder prolong usage wouldn't it creates fungus since yr farm is wood type?  One of the reason of successful wood farm is because of ventilation. The walls r made of wood planks therefore there r many gaps that the air can be  drawn to the farm thus cooling it down. The very early farms were the wooden shop lot where ppl discovered nest. Most of the succesful farms were the colonial time wood shop lots. If u observed the photo of succesful farm from indonesia or Sarawak u will discover all ceiling is wood n these pics r taken from wood farms.

In fact 15-20 yrs ago ppl discovered nest in wood shop in Taiping, Pekan, T.Intan,etc. Especially those abadoned banglow with Semi- wood (ground floor cement upper floor wood)

They r some consultant insist on wood farms . I had seen some very successful ones. In Sarawak n Indonesia many ppl do wood farms. This is debateable again.

Like I say inmaterial wood or cement type  , most important is to understand n ability to identify the short coming of yr farms.  " without forgeting skill n Knowledge"

Yr don't u get from Cystal swiftlet there r more reliable most of my stuff arrived next day. Just spoken wth Weihow on the phone. He bought some stuff from Crystal swiftlet too. They have the treated new corner board at rm3.50 each. Try visit their site. U really have many speaker in yr fram,64 of them. One nest on one speaker u already have 64 nests.... Can yr nail gun spear thru wall?
My only go in 1/2 inches .I tin concrete "susah lah"

I spoken to weihow for more than an hour today. He is in mentakab. His neigbour knows exacally what he is using n attract all the his birds.He said there 7k clicked on the forum compare when u guys started few mths back its less than 100. Imagine how many people r observing. U may not know some might be yr next door neigbour who wanted to start a farm n know inside out every details ,every inches of yr farms n know what u r using .They may be yr competitors that put a threat to the survival of yr farms. I hope u understand what I mean. Even the very well know author of swiftlet farming books had advised me not to reveal to details. I guess u know who I am talking about. I suggest that for discussion that u think that it might
poses a threat to u ,its better u email me personaly.That goes via-versa. Pictures of internal farms should only be shown to those u know well. Normal general discussion is ok. There r far too many farm already.

  misstake ---> but there to jabatan haiwan? ---> put them to jabatan haiwan? hehe

May I ask the birds still ok? Actually your main problem is the type of food the bird willing to eat. Mosquitos will be better food but problem catching them.  If they're willing to eat whenever you feed. Then chances of surviving is high.

Hi Seeseng,

The birds r quite big, If the stress from the  enviroment is not too much then the survival rate is higher. I think if he take care of them properly it will survive.

There r not those small chicks with no feathers. That one "susah"  . So how is yr farm? started external sound?
