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.

last yesterday night, time already 8 .10pm but i still can saw a group of AF still play around in small "bakau" jungle near my BH area.
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?

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?

The one I'm selling has a 3m sensor cable so the sensor can be nailed up on nesting plank for most accurate result. Auto power-on after power failure. So far no complaint from owners. A few positive feedbacks. They said no more soaky wet floor like wet market.
For sure this is more expensive than timer controlled. On rainy days and very dry weather timer will give you over humid and under humid. These are the specs of the hygrostat / humidistat / humidity controller:

1：Operating Voltage：AC220V/50Hz ±10%（be narrated when order）
2：Consume power： <3VA
3：Load current： 2A（max 10A resistance load）
4：Relay contact dot max current：10A/220VAC（resistance load）
5：Set range: 10%RH---95%RH
6：Measure range ： 2%RH--99%RH
7：Precision： +/- 3%
8：Measure range： 0--80℃
9：Sensor application range： 0～80℃
10: Sensor wire length ： 3 m
11: Application range: <95%RH(non dew)
12: Storage range: 0--70℃
13: Storage range: <95%RH(non dew)
14: Dimension： 135X68X45mm

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.
