The big blue lost is because they don't allow swiftlet farm . Look most area won by the opp are swiftlet top area (taiping ,s'wan, etc). The zoo people contribute to the bad reputation of big blue (gangter). If the t'ganu zoo people press futher I guarantee they will loose the next GE.
The zoo people are the blacksheep of Big Blue.

#$%^@*& before election said one thing. After won election say another thing......

Yes i agree with you seeseng, this is the thing happening in the big blue goverment now,even pm also did the same thing.

Hi. All swiftlets farming sifu & seeseng
regarding the pesticide for thicks, can u pls lets me know which brand that we can buy from hardware/pesticide shop

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. seeseng & everyone in this forum
I'm new in this forum & in Swiftlet farming as well. I've a Bh in Sp which has +/-70 nests so far after 2yrs+, how is the performance? good or bad ?
I dono when should i start to start harvest the nests. What is the minimum nests required before we can start to do so. 100 nests onwards or 200 ? Or should i do it now? How often, how many & at what time during the day.
Really appreciate any advise on this matter. Thank you.

Temperature of 21dg is indeed very low. What type of ventilation you're using. Try to stuff half of the ventilation bricks or pipes with newspaper to reduce ventilation and observe the temperature hopefully can bring it up.

HI, all i'm newbee and i need some help to differentiate outdoor and indoor swiftlet chirp sound CD can anyone please help thanks

Thnks for quick reply, I'm using 24nos of 4" PVC pipe with elbow and 1 exhaust fan from 2pm to 6pm.

It is difficult for newbie to differentiate the outdoor and indoor swiftlet chirp, if i'm not wrong outdoor chirp is mating sound,indoor chirp is baby bird sound.

Hi, logmac
it seems that we encounted same problem. I have one 7mths BH in Pg, whcich is located in hill orchard land. Temp. at night as low as +/-22, day high as 34 dg. It has nested only 2 nest thus far. Not good I guess....
I've consulted a friend in indonesia. He told me to install few lightbulbs (covered with tin so light intensity is controlled) in grd floor of my BH controlled by timer, put it on at night to increase temp !!
I've not try yet. May be u should try his method, if the result is good pls inform me at lyf5354@gmail.com, so that i'can also follow...Hehe....
If not do email me also if u want.
Thanks

Hello, lyf5354
1st of all, TQ Very Much 4your recomendation. Wow! It looks good 2me, if it works its sound cost effective. I'll get organise 2try it out and we can share the outcome 2gether.
I just finished filled up the air vent hole as per SeeSeng advice, and now start2 monitoring the tempreture, will keep UAll informed.
Mr. lyf5354, I'm fr PG also. Maybe someday we can meet up somewhere 2hv a cup of drinks, since we both share a common issue @ the farm. I sincrely hope that u like my idea.
TQ!

Good since we might be just a few doors away from eachother. But makesure u try it out first ........HeHe... ! But i think u should try seeseng's way 1st, b'cos it is much economical & simple, even a child can do that, right?

I think this guy just finished form 5 and still waiting for result, so got nothing to do just make us of the notebook and internet , paste here and there. I think those believe in him are ....st......

Such a young fellow. What experieces? He is still in puberty stage.

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, BCO_SP
I"m from Pg, & also quite new in this forum.
I'don't thingk it is advisable 2 convert ur single storey house into a BH, not b'cos of the height but b'cos of it is rented. I think most of guys in this forum would agree with me. Imagine what will ur house owners do after 3 yrs, if ur BH already heavyly populated with swiflets ? .....!!!

Hi lyf5354,

Thanks and Appreciate yr reply.
Maybe i passed the wrong info last time.
Actually the land, as well as the rented house is ours.
I'm also staying in another house on the same land
It's about half an acre land

And we are presently renting it out to tenants.
Would have to vacate the tenants shud i decide to convert it

Anyway, just wondering if yr birdhouse in Pg Orchard Land,
Izit wooden or a concrete one?
Single or double storey?

Actually i still nedd to get more info from my local city council
before doing any conversion coz got a few houses around my land

Anyway, would really like to visit yr orchard some day, lyf5354,
if u don't have any objection
Izit a Durian Orchard?

Wud appreciate if u cud enlighten me more about "OPEN TOP ENTRANCE"
as seen being discussed in this forum

Thanks lyf5354

another cheating guy... ? (carrissakat)
i checked in ebay malaysia and there is this one guy selling birdnest. however, i suspect this guy to be a cheater. all the people buying birdnest from him is vcd /dvd seller(every single buyer also dvd seller) . also the picture of birdnest showen by him is not raw birdnest as claimed by him.
any comments? cheater or not?
