Added on May 30, 2009, 2:55 pmMe no Sifu but your friend in need, maybe.

1. Let begin your problem solving by asking yourself some questions as before anyone can be able to help you, our experts around need to know more as we are no fortune tellers here. Questions and then try to answer them yourself first......

2. Start Day one till now, how the birds reaction to your BH? Giving a brief descriptions of the birds attraction to your BH, birds in the BH, shits and when they started making nests and how and when it happened and when it stopped do so or have you did some modifications before or after you did so modifications.
3. Ask yourself as many questions as possible and maybe, you may not require any help as after you finished with your own lines of questions, you have already know the answers to your problems. Sometime some simple answers we often overlook and we are expecting difficult trouble......I do sometime and I knocked my own head and yelled," How's silly of me"

Hope the above help you in a small way...........anyone Sifu may want to help and give their opinions to assist our friend in need?

# As to your request for CD exchange, PM me although I don't need new sounds but will exchange with you all except the oldest that's my first LOVE. Hahahaha

My motto is one good bird call is worth more than 10 birds calls in the bush.

I always heard some people said good quality tweeter help to improve birds population but some people said it does not make the different. So far I have not seen any test results from anybody. I decided to find the answer myself. Finally I managed to get tweeter which is good and cheap from US. I will do some tests first. Will post the results once it ready. Please visit my blog for more details about the tweeter

A reader asked about humidifier and if the humidifier did cause high temperature in BH. My 5 sen tell me that this can only be due to the fact that you use direct water supply as when the weather is hot and the pvc pipe is warm up so instate you are getting cool water, you get warm water. One thing for sure, although warm but high in humidity is better than cold and dry because birds will die in cold temperature and not in warm temperature but must be of good humidity.

To prevent too hot the water and too high the pressure which your Taiwanese humidifier does not require, tap it from the water tank instead of using direct water, thus saving cost in using normal tubing and not the high pressure tubing which is very expensive. You get cooler water and also less pressure plus very cheap hose.

So many years in this field, I have seen birds died in cold condition but not because warm condition but only the nests are very fragile and thin nest. Easily to break and in bad shape only.

Love to hear other comment on the humidifier in BH management discussion.

Hi West Wing,

Thank for your simple and straight forward advice. My only problem is i think how to attract more birds to come and play around my birdhouse and of course ultimately to stay and breed inside. There are birds but the numbers do not increase. Some advice me to fix a bazooka that can attract birds from 1KM away, but i am doubtful because i have seen 1 bird house with one but no birds at all. I have bought 'dark cloud' but the results is also the same, that's why i would like to exchange with some forumers instead of wasting money to buy birds calls that are not effective. I have spend quite a lot on this already and i feel it is not fruitful. I hope i can get 1 from successful operators because i found out some friends are reluctant to give their birds calls out. Thank you again west wing, I will PM you and will not forget your helpful tips and of course the birds calls.

ChanK's post about the definition of 'endangered species' was enlightening. Just wondering if the definition varies based on species/size/lifespan/life cycle/breeding habits.

Don't know much about the audio, nor do i have much sounds to compare. Not at a level where trading audio is done nor at a level to synthesize and record my own audio.

Recently went to Temerloh... then shot to Kuantan. Despite being a medium sized town, Temerloh has its share of BHs. Kuantan... same like KT... watching the birds come home make me envious. Huh. I heard MPKtn was tolerant? Is that so? Anyway, Kuantan has changed a lot these past 7 years.

A young man had recently asked me a question which made me blur-blur and pondered over it for a number of days. Till today, I am still unable to get the answer. The question he asked is, besides the BH farming industry that is booming and sustainable on an upward trend as there is readily a constant demand, is there any other industry or business that is growing like this or better than BH farming industry in Malaysia that is worth investing in for long term?


My dear friends, could all of you please help me to find the answer for the young man?

According to the author of "The Next Millionaire" Paul Zane Pilzer, it is predicted that there will be 10 million self-made millionaires born from year 2006-2016, mainly from the following industries:

1) Wellness industry
food supplement, fitness, beauty and health insurance(not life insurance ok?)

2) E-commerce or E-trading

3) Network marketing thru intellectual distribution (not conventional physical distribution), a systematic way of distribution.

The above is just for sharing. It is no absolute answer. Of course we will know the answer by year 2016.

Another Industry :

BH Farming Industry in Sarawak !!....haha....since u never mentioned where mah..maybe the young friend from peninsular!..


No joke, Go Sarawak if you want to becomes the next multi-millionaires and build your farms there before it is too late.

Birds there are looking for places to stay !!!.......build n wait only loh.

Move your butt to Sarawak, and just sit there and goyang kaki and becomes Local King !!!....

But u must chart hai a bit lah!!!..else, white hair will after u want...

no need to greet salam to him, just pay his kaki some pocket money loh!!...

The nests there are white and heavy!!!....


ai ya....why still looking for other industry after you have step into a virtually free trade gold mines??


Since Peninsular malaysia already too many farms....Go Sarawak!!!!.........





Some more u can build a farm in 23 days!!!......at rm23 per sq ft!!!....

How??


Use hard wood ( with strength equivalent to steel!!!) as column, as beam, as floor slab!!!....

Thats how you can build it fast and cheap!!....don't be surprise...u can build even more cheaper than this rate....


but becareful with using those light weight block loh......u will know what i mean in one year or two years time.....

but then, when birds are aplenty!!!...who cares!!!......



..

What's buz other then BH, are you blind (((((sori not intended, just to make the statement sound great like the bird sound))))

BHs bring along so many other down stream businesses that you can never imagine. Contractors/developers and their associated buz like suppliers of building materials. are all good investment as long as BHs allow to flourish. What's about electrical, electronic in concerning BH, security and maintenance field.....infact, alot of business opportunities come with this swiftlets which is worth investing and many have make million building houses, renovating buildings, consultancy, suppliers and just name a business which is not making money with this industry. Insurance agents, financial companies and brokers and what have you.....and govt are banking in this industry....it is the industry that will able to hold and withstand even during the worst recession, bad or good time.......it was infact this industry that help our building industry to get back on its feet during the last glut of properties market....but we the BH industry buy up all unused, unsold or out of place buildings and convert them into profitable business......so no developers gone bankrupt and infact improve their sales, volume and prices, too.

So as we, the birdhouse owners pray for the betterment and increment of swiftlets and nests, the other involved business partners like the building industries should also pray for the future of our BHs for should we sail well and prosperous so will they.

Added on June 1, 2009, 12:52 pmSince we are talking about buz, I approached a friend to sell his BH for Rm$4,000,000 (just love to put the zeros down) and he refused. What if he agree, do you know how much I would make from the sales commission, a cool Rm$80,000. just for asking for someone to sell. How can a person refused 4M for a BH that he bought @ 1.5M 2 years ago, that's I can't understand, too.........I rather go into broker buz instate of doing my own BH but then I do love the birds.

Yah....Thanks Gem,

And for those newbiz in this industry, just view the nest in the birdhouse in Sarawak @ GEM,
Industri Sarang Burung Walet Di Mukah, Sarawak @ BERNAMA may make your saliva fill a bowl.............all full house with no empty space and who say birds are scare nowaday.

Dear Readers,
Been MIA for a while, in fact there was too much action. Organized two Medical Missions for Mercy Malaysia and a fire relief where 60 doors longhouse was burnt to the ground leaving 650 people homeless and with just the clothing on their back. Medical missions have been suspended until further notice in anticipation of swine flu scare, so have a little time and planning next BH.

BH is in full operation since the 25th. May 2009 and looking good. Did some major renovation to LMB as I was not happy with OF and reverted back to Pak. Han’s endorsed design.

I like to clarify a few points and do not wish to mislead any readers. I took it as a personal challenge to build my BH below RM25.00 per sq. ft.(Bare building) and to be completed within 30 days. I have achieved both. The birds don’t care a hoot if your BH is RM25.00 /sq.ft. or RM80.00 /sq.ft. . Both will last a lifetime , mine at least after that who cares.

My metal roof 26 gauge was recycled Shell’s petrol station. The Ceiling penal also recycled materials from a cement plant. (Save RM10.000.) Floor bean act as nesting planks and 2 inches slaps (Save RM8.000), there was no need for form work and save lots of time. This is further possible as being the biggest logistics operator in Miri brought in all building materials with FOC transportation and save RM 10.000. We are the local agent for Lightweight Bricks and save another RM2000.00. The absent of pilling and ground floor slaps (save RM23.000)

External control room and anti pest 2x1 ft deep drain around the BH and added 8inx1ft ground beam add up to RM25.00 per sq.ft. Had I use my own work force can build the whole BH for RM20.00 per sq.ft. but will not be able to met my 30 days deadline .

History. I was the developer for phase 1 Asia city Sabah. Taman Jasa In Labuan and Antah Oil Tools Service Center in Labuan and have a little idea about constructions although I was never physically involve in the actual constructions itself.

I find lightweight weight bricks cheap, efficient and easy to build. The extra ground beam is to anticipate the need for extra security once the BH is with a big swift lets populations. With 5 kg per month will build a double red brick wall or if even more paranoid will build a RC wall and all paid for by the swift lets.

Even Banks are not totally safe from bank robbers. If they come with guns I will give them my entire nest.

Thanks to Pak Han for constantly monitoring my project and offering free advice. I am using 100 % Pak Han’s Aromas and internal and external Sounds. Thanks to Kuching Farmers for helping me installing the sound system. Professor Yap for helping me secures all the recycled materials.

Dear readers kindly look into Eng. Lee’s blog” we Love swift lets farming”. The wise man has spoken with lots of merits and facts. Open your mind and your eyes.

DIY Aroma.

To all experienced sifus. Beside fish oil, bird nest and seaweed are there anymore ingredients that we can add to made it magically more Powerful.

better go and buy and dun play with aroma...
if any stuff u add more the smell get stronger u will blur the bird

want some good tips 100 gram nests most lousy grade soak 5-8 litres waters for 1 month.
prepare fresh drop ,mix with it till sticky splash all around the wall.

remaining nests water splash on floor and leave it to see ur result. my sifu told me that is US dollar smell.
wolud u like to try ?

ai yo...kuching farmer...u tell too much le....no wonder USD now drop so low...hehe...

diy aroma,hmm....

how about swiftlet's eggs....i know the supply is a lot this season.

those who enter the farm this past week know what i mean...

celaka.....kosong plastic bag masuk...kurang dari separuh je.....

hai.....uncle.....cannot do lah.....no heart to do it...... i cannot do big business lah......liked brother k said....it is just liked chicken egg!!...don't u tell me u dont eat chicken egg??..

but...it is still different........

go back to the topic,

if u can get hold of swiftlets eggs....use it as aroma...that alone....is more effective than any aroma u can find!!!...

WANT TO SET UP A SWIFTLET'S EGG FORUM TO DISCUSS ABOUT IT??






HA HA HA HA....ANY "SOH H" want to join....hahahaha.....joking le...

You tell me......as for me, I am still trying to remember what I did and I con't get the right formula, my XO formula....must be the wrong amount of the ingredients and maybe it is the timing....all playing very important part in creating a powerful punch. As the guy say, go and buy but what assurance can you get? refund if so, then I wil also buy. Wrong Aroma can create worst nightmare for your BH and that's why, I also tell my friends, try a little at one location first and if good, then only apply to the rest of the BH. One wrong mistake, what you have also gone.

A few months ago, I did posted about my XO formula which work so well but then, I forget what and how I did it....Really, then, even I was in the BH, the birds were still cycling above my head and around me and maybe, because my T-shirt was smeared with the XO perfume while poaring the solution into the humidifier. It was great but I just can't remember the formula and if I do, don't worry, I will offer you all, my friends here, one L for a big cup of teh tarik + roti telor...... I am still trying but didn't get any such result again at all......maybe, you need to buy the aroma to be safe and be sure to buy from the right person or otherwise, your answer is as good as mine.

So, anyone selling Proven working Aroma may want to let our friends know but I just don't understand that a solution for a source maybe different each time you buy it and even the smell are difference. How do I know, I did purchased some magic solution for a friend and it was good and reordered 5 bottles again for him and some friends and it was useless and it smell different..and it didn't come cheap, one 5L bottle for Rm250.

That's my little experience with Aroma and No offence taken please,
