hai everyone,

Just joined this forum. Been involved in swiftlet farming for over 5 yrs. quite active forum. I'm planning to order woodplank for my new project. all the while, I'm ordering from this guy from rawang who used to be able to supply good meranti bukit to me but now he is such a jerk that he even supply meranti kuning to me and explained to me that the wood looks yellow because it is near the surface!....can you believe that !! worst, he is also a consultant with his own hardware store in kuang, rawang.

Can any guys here recommend any good supplier that willing to supply to me in kuala selangor.

by the way, if you guys need white ants chemical which are odourless, let me know...I can order for you.

toilet can use as farm too not amazingly big compared to other place.

You are right, only a few and no more than 10 of existing farms are actually raking profit there. I know as I have a farmhouse there that is already 4 yrs.

So, any of you guys can recommend got wood supplier in selangor area or those that willing to supply to k.selangor.

Swiftbuild,
you are quite familiar with the area? where is yr farmhouses?

Welcome to the forum experienced Sifu. Yes quite active forum many people viewing daily but those who contribute very few. Hope you can share a bit experience on your farm.

swiftbuild,

Thks for yr info, can you tell me exactly which sawmill in Tanjung karang ?

Whao, guess you are the pioneer Swiftlet Farmer in K.Selangor. That farm is already,I think, at least 6 to 7 years. The consultant is from Sitiawan.

I heard the owner sometimes display his harvested nests by placing it on top of his office table!! cool..!

Another king is opposite the cake house...... but K.selangor birds population is just nothing compare to B.Berjuntai.....


seeseng,

guess quite a lot of people are using that method already...but the result is good except a lot of complain fr neigbour.....I didn't dare to try it...and if follow the regulation whereby all speaker must have at least 40~60degree pointing to the sky, you will have to dismantle it later...

So skynest which class your farm in? Consider successful? Multi directional sound commercial product already out for 3 years by Nest Tech. Sure many will make themselves 1. So far my whole state nobody using it yet. Originally made 4,6, 8 directional tweeters for CD sound test purpose. To be first to use maybe later other farms not happy lah. Then lately a new farm near my house added a 4 directional tweeter. So if I put up also not the 1st lah.
The pic was my 1st prototype of 8 direction. The one installed up there have all tweeters facing 45d upwards. Actually made upwards for rain water draining out. Then added silicon to all contact points to water proof/anti rust them. My neighbours won't complain 1 because they're a lot more noisy than mine how to complain Complain or not depend on level of volume. I had my volume set to quite low. Many people said my volume sort of low. But if can lure birds to come play enaugh lor.

Good work! very well done. As long as the sound is low no one will complan.

Swiftlet Farming Techniques :-

Anyone interested to start discussing swiftlet Farming Techniques?

Guess, I will start first, currently we have two inlet method, either Monkey or open roof. What is the pro and con on this two method?

Monkey House :-
pro:
1) low light intensity
2) more stable inhouse temperature
3)

con:
1) depends on the height of yr inlet house. Birds might difficult to fly out.
2) Noise pollution
3)

open roof type:
pro :
1) no noise pollution
2) Birds can fly out easily

con :
1) Too bright
2) unstable inhouse temperature


any feedback from any sifu here.

con :

I'm not sifu just to contribute what I know to discuss.
Open roof type:
pros:
1)fake partition can be installed to solve too bright problem.
2)Big entrance. Birds easily find the hole.
3) Convenient fly path in and out.

Con:
1)Owls, musang and other predators easier to get into farm. So birds may feel unsafe.
