QUOTE(lyf5354 @ Apr 4 2008, 09:39 AM) Hi, Seeseng & all Thanks for advice seeseng. My BH in orchard does have bird flying path right accross. I guess u r right, after 5.00pm even we see lots of swiflets flying pass BH, but they seem deaf even if we were to hingher the volume !! Birds do come during 8.30am-10.30am, 3pm-4pm but it seems that lots of them just circle around BH during the above period of time, some will go in & out, at the end most up them will fly up-up & away.! What is the problem? Is it normal? This Bh only nested 2 after 7mths, any ways to speed up progress? Thank u. Added on April 4, 2008, 9:57 amHi. BCO_SP & seeseng Read ur massage. we have cut down all the trees around the BH & single storey house which is just next to it, so i think flight path of birds should be no problem. Maybe it could be the temperature difference within day & night from +/- 32~c - 22~c. light intensity in BH is alright also. what do u think seeseng? Instead of finding way to speed up the progress why don't find out the problems that slow down the progress? How long average time a bird go in to explore the farm and come out? I suspect there's internal design problem or tweeter configuration problem. What type of entrance you're using and what size? This post has been edited by seeseng: Apr 9 2008, 02:23 PM

To get 4.8k/kg you'll at least need super size cup shape nests very white colour very less feather grade. Nests in Klang can hardly achieve that quality due to air pollution.

Hi all swiflet Master. I am Andy ,Newbie in swiflet farming field,My first swiflet house just open ceremony 1 month ago.the result seems look pretty good with every morning has Max 1k pair above or Min 3 to 4 hundred swiflet play around and go into my swiflet houses depend with weather. So SIFU, How i can determine those swiflet are stay into my swiftlet houses are not without check with open then swiflet houses,Due to my swiflet hotel still new in order not to scare the swiflet and also produce unnessary human smell. :stars And then, what time swiflet will fly into the swiflet houses for stay?. Because refer to swiflet book.,normal 6 pm to 7:30 pm. but with what i observed ,still has lot swiflet play around when time almost 8 something....

Many thank Andy  Early morning bird count when they start coming out for breakfast. If lazy can you handy cam. Accuracy will be affected if some exit birds start to play re-enter to the BH. Shit spot couting is another alternative but need to enter farm. For a month old virgin farm time 11am to 2pm is not a problem since no afternoon baby feeding. This method is sort of agak-agak only the number of birds. Small shit spot counted as 1 bird. Bigger spot like roti canai size counted as 1 pair. Going home time average 7:30pm depending on how dark the sky.

So Seeseng, those Af can i say is wild ? and how can to attract it to stay into my new BH? Refer to my Con-sultan mentiond,this kind of swiflet are very hard to attract into to you BH. is right?

Time is not a problem there will still be swiftlet activities if the sky still bright. If it's already total dark I doubt those are AF in activities. There are 3 species of swiftlet that will respond to external chirp sound playing. All AF stay in BH and caves all consider wild. No AF residence on trees lah unless those lost or late come home can't find way home one. Those already built nests in other BH will not likely migrate to yours unless disaster happen the the existing BH. Your BH can only attract new young birds. Lonely birds and couple birds that haven't built their first nest yet. If that group confirm AF and can try to lure the young birds from there. Did your Con-sultan mention why it's hard to attract those birds? Must confirm they're AF or not lah if not waste time only. Observe their activities what are they doing there. Selling umbrellas on rainy days will be good business.

Hi guys. I'm new to this topic and still learning. I'm interested about this business but in my opinion it's risky and involves a lot of money. I just want to know whether it is suitable to build a bird house on my land which is at Sungai Merab (Border of Putrajaya). I'm currently planting gaharu and would like to look for another business/agriculture project. Check out my gaharu thread  .

To determine your land is suitable for swiftlet farming you will need to conduct a few bird call tests and count the number of birds that got attracted when bird calling. Are there any swiftlet activities around the land? Any pass by your land at 6:30pm to 7:30pm?

During that time, when I was on my way to my land I could see a lot of birds flying around near the electric generator. I think around thousands. I don't know whether it's swiflet or something else. But that place is a few kilometres from my land. This post has been edited by amirbashah: Apr 25 2008, 05:30 PM

if u knw the technique of processing, it wont involve the bleaching agent. For experince buyer, they knw whether thw nest is involve the bleaching agent. ,ormally if u want to buy the nest n u not really experince u can visit they factory n u will find out any bleaching agent in use.
