Penternakan Burung Walit
Penuaian sarang burung Walit dari gua-gua secara komersal telah dijalankan sejak lebih 100 tahun dahulu di Malaysia. Hasil penuaian pertama adalah dari Gua Niah, Sarawak pada tahun 1878. sejak sedekad kebelakangan ini, pengusaha telah cuba menerokai halaman baru dalam penuaian burung Walit ini. Ianya dari perspektif perladangan yang berperikemanusiaan, mesra haiwan, ekonomi, lestari pada populasi burung Walit serta bersifat mesra alam berbanding cara tradisi. Spesis dan bilangan burung Walit telah banyak berkembang dan berhijrah dari hutan ke desa dan bermastautin di bandar. Semenjak itu, industri burung  Walit ini telah berkembang.

Burung Walit berada di dalam Order Apodiformes bermakna tiada berkaki dan ini tidak berupaya di tanah. Burung ini mempunyai kuku mencengkam yang kuat. Burung ini cekap berterbangan di udara ( areal ability ) dan saiz burung Walit adalah kecil. Ukuran panjangnya adalah 13sm dan yang terkecil 7.5sm. burung Walit berkelompok besar dan suka pada kawasan di mana ada banyak cerok-cerok bukit dan gua. Ia membiak di dalam gua atau premis yang berkeadaan seakan-akan gua. Sesetengah spesis ini menggunakan ekolokasi ( echolocation ) seumpama kelawar, untuk terbang ( navigate ) dalam gelap.

Sarang burung Walit berharga dan diterokai sebab ianya mengandungi sedikit sahaja bulu atau bahan yang tidak boleh dimakan. Tuaian berjuta-juta ringgit dihasilkan setiap tahun di Malaysia daripada beberapa buah premis penternakan burung Walit.

Burung  Walit dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan iklim dan habitat yang tertentu. Sarang burungb Walit adalah sarang burung yang paling dikagumi. Sarangnya tidak berliku-liku, berwarna-warni atau menawan. Masyhurnya sarang burung Walit disebabkan ianya adalah ramuan asas sup sarang burung di merata dunia.
Kehidupan ala-bandar:

Makanan asas burung Walit adalah serangga yang ditangkap semasa ia berterbangan. Aktiviti harian seterusnya, membuat sarang di antara batu-batan dan simen di dalam atau di sisi bangunan di Bandar dan kota raya. Burung-burung ini akan terbang pantas sambil mengkilas serta menebusi ruang udara di antara liku-liku jalan dan rumah mencecah dinding, mencelah antara ruang kecil dan terus terbang kea wan. Pada masa yang sama, ia akan mengeluarkan kicauan yang bernada tinggi ( high pitched ). Dari pandangan burung Walit pada pandangan aras terbangnya, dinding perumahan adalah seakan-akan ‘permukaan batu-batan’, dan ruang di antara dinding atau atap membuka peluang untuk membuat sarang di dalam ‘gua’. Oleh kerana persekitaran bandar  sanagat sesuai dan selesa, ini menjadikan sedikit sahaja burung Walit yang membiak di habitat semulajadinya di hutan rimba.

Di dalam mencatatkan Amalan Baik Penternakan Haiwan, beberapa perkara diambil kira iaitu :

1.    Keperluan fizikal dan perilaku haiwan pembiak dan bukan pembiak;
2.    Perlakuan berperikemanusiaan;
3.    Keselamatan manusia;
4.    Keselesaan pengurusan haiwan, dan
5.    Keuntungan yang baik bagi premis.

‘Lima Kebebasan’ , sebagai kayu pengukur bagi kebajikan haiwan adalah :

•    Bebas dari lapar dan dahaga.
•    Bebas dari ketidakselesaan, kehangatan dan fizikal.
•    Bebas dari kesakitan, kecederaan dan penyakit.
•    Bebas dari keresahan.
•    Bebas mempamerkan perilaku dan fisiologi yang semulajadi.
Antara spesis Burung Walit

1.    Collocalia esculenta cyanoptila.
2.    Collocalia linchi dodgie.
3.    Aerodramus fuciphagus vestitus.
4.    Aerodramus fuciphagus amechanus.
5.    Aerodramus fuciphagus fuciphagus.
6.    Aerodramus maximus lowi.
7.    Aerodramus maximus tichelmani.
So??..... ardious ur mama lah....SH!!!...

SHOOT ME!!.... 

Sorry to say the whole design from scale, fly path, roving path are totally koyak. Play in-out at entrance got lah. Low % will reach the nesting to explore.

Lucas1, This is the full report.

Lure of the birds and nest

Located in a new commercial precinct in the heart of Petaling Jaya is a company that invites people to invest in the bird’s nest business by asking them to cough up RM24,800 to purchase a “lot” but one has the option to buy more lots.

The company known as Golden Nest Properties International (M) Bhd has been operating for 10 months from the second floor of a new office development.

A call to the Registrar of Companies showed that it was registered under registration number 838068-V.

Starprobe started an investigation following a complaint via e-mail from a member of the public who claimed that the returns promised were “pretty high”.

He also claimed that he did not receive his refund of RM100 made as a deposit against the lot as the company said it was made “too long ago”.

A reporter went undercover as a potential investor to the Golden Nest office.

There, he found half-dozen scantily dressed young girls “persuading” potential investors or “assisting” them in filling up the application forms.

According to a company official, the investment has a guaranteed return of RM200 per month per lot for the first two years. In subsequent years, there is a minimum guaranteed return of RM700 per month per lot coupled with an annual dividend of RM3,000.

She claimed there were only 600 lots left to be subscribed and that they were going fast.

Once the lots were fully subscribed the company planned to list, she said, adding that the lots would be worth much more post-listing.

At the office, there was also a funkily dressed man addressed by the rest as “Datuk”.

He was there to answer any difficult questions posed by potential investors.

Another reporter, who made a follow-up call to the company with the allegations from the complainant, spoke to another company official who said that there was a 10-day cooling-off period for refunds of deposits.

“If it’s more than 10 days, a depositor will not get the refund,” he said.

The official also said the company was not offering the public shares but selling properties in which bird’s nests were being cultivated.

He said the company had properties or “farms” located in Klang and Sungai Petani and others in Johor and Malacca and was thinking of listing five years down the road.

“We spoke to the Securities Commission earlier in the year on our plans for listing and they said we need to come out with a prospectus. We cannot do that as the company is less than a year old,” he added.

He said if the company was approved for a listing, the lot owners would get share subscription forms.

Starprobe checked with the Securities Commission where a spokesman said there was no formal application or approval given to Golden Nest in its records.

The Golden Nest official said the properties owned by the company were existing properties that were under renovation.

“The RM200 returns promised in the first two years before the properties are operational will come from the proceeds of bird’s nest sales,” he said.

He said in subsequent years, the projected minimum income of RM560 per month per lot would come from harvesting the bird’s nests from the lots owned by the owners.

He said each farm had 1,260 lots of which only 48% or 600 lots were being sold to the public. The remainder would be owned by Golden Nest.

Brother,

not that no one wants to help u. by just showing a farm sketch and ask ppl to comment, for what?.

So, u want to ask if this is a good design?.

Well, no.

but i have seen a similar design and the farm did quite well too!. 4 years 400+ nests. to me is ok as at least he see continuous nest growth of average 10 nests a month!.. and among the farm there (3 farms total), this farm is the Top and it is not the first!.

but then this will not be my selection of design i adopt to my farms though...i dont wish to try my luck.

In swiftlet keeping, there is no bad designs that quaranteed u fail 100% and there is no good designs that quaranteed u success 100%.....we choose the most frequent n most suitable design and still know that it will not 100% quarantee it will succeed to attracts many birds.......that the true real facts....can u take true facts??... can u open up your mind to listen to real hard facts that will knock you out of your wonderland where in this wonderland, everything do have a solution to quarantee u success.....

If i talk some more here, i guess i will break a lot of industry players rice bowls...so, lets just keep it as a secret.
so, how?. more confuse?....do some medication to clear your mind!.   oops...not medication but meditation!..hehe...

I can understand why you posted such reply. It is because you lack of patient /manner and you expect the sifu here oblige to respond to your query within 24 hours. You posted your query on 11th 3.54pm, seeseng responded on the 12th. Not satisfied with it, you accused the old birds keeping the secret on 13th. I wouldn't want to behave this way if I were to ask for info/knowledge from a public forum.

This e-book thingy is scary. Money do drop from the net instead of sky to the authors.

From personal experience, for newbie with 0 knowledge of this industry, Dr Chris and Crystal book are ok for quick basic knowledge to start out. At least got some pics  and summarized some basic terms you need to know when people talk abt bhs. If you are desperate for quick info within a few day, they are ok, save you few weeks reading thru the forum/blogs which might end up with more questions. But the cost of those books are on the high side, worth probably less but you are the consumer so you decide.

If I can find bird king that can guarantee 100% success with knowledge given, dont mind to pay to the nose. But again, how many or if there is such thing as bird kings in the market?!

H**** K** ebook not worth $50, $5 may be for donation, up to individual. Hey, David Lim ebook is free! Grab it and read before asking more questions.

Pak Hendri Mulia book is for more advance stage summarised what you need to know, some reference from Nugroho, make life easy for quick reference.

Nugroho books are for advance stage but too many version 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,..., some info keep repeating itself so need to buy the right ones. Sometimes cant remember where you read it, some where out there. It's good if Nugroho can summarise into one and only power book, but then ..

Anyway, nothing is free. Knowledge is power. Zero knowledge resulted kena con by con-sultant. So upto individual to decide. Whether want to be penny wise pound foolish. Saw many esp one kept repeating with big bold letters in chinese blog asking for free info. Boy oh boy, ....

Has anyone tried to export your EBN legally?? I promise you hell lots of trouble and time that you will not think to export legally again.

Try it and in 2 months, you still at it and you end up giving it up.

Conditions are so many which include..................
Where did you get your EBN/ source and has the person has approval for the Perhilitan to ensure that all collected EBN are from licensed collectors. You need to record down all transaction properly fot them to verified and all transactions must be from approved collectors (licensed).  All must be in proper forms.

I am going to screw Mr. Tan of ****** up for giving us false hope in his course in Export of EBN and his course doesn't cover 5% of what I have gone thru and still not enough. If anyone really think that he has the answers, please reply.............. I tried to export as a buyer from China want some samples of our EBN and facing some much problems, I rather smuggle them out thru runner if I want to venture into the buz.

Nowaday, it difficult to be law bidding citizen as the authorities involved isn't making our life easier and helping the Industry at all.....

What for if Tax Free in China as going out of Malaysia is already a big problem.

This is not a bad news for Melaka.

this is a bad news for the whole malaysia farmhouse. Change the mindset!!

If this is allow, it will spread to all states, remember that,

WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH NORMAL HUMAN BEING HERE,

THEY ARE AS SMART AS WHAT THEY WEARING EVERYDAY!.

THEY ONLY KNOW TO COPYCATS!

THEY CAN'T THINK USING THEIR HEAD!

THEY NEVER USED IT.

so, unless the head of all swiftlet farming industry,which they always stress without anyone agreed, which, is the kedah swiftlet farm association, named, Malaysia bird's nest association, start to form a team to tackle this issue. it will be doom for all.

Did u see the scenario here?

5 yrs ago, they said residential not allowed, only shoplot n agriculture land allowed.

then few yrs later,they said residential n shoplot not allowed n only industrial n agricultural n eco park allowed.

n now,they said residential n shoplot n industrial not allowed (even though govt lead by our PM had reaffirmed that shoplot is allowed, but the dept heads,some, are pushing ahead as they need to do faster then the govt with their hidden agenda), n agricultural n eco park is allowed.

n in future, not far, agricultural is not allowed, n only eco park is allowed.

thts my prediction.

believed it or not??

you suka.
Start to make noise, bros....to protect ur own rice bowl!..

dt let ppls to shit in your face n u still keep ur smile!!..

dt think thts the end of it............

Morally, it should not be allowed. But it's your money. Blame yourself when things not gong as planed. But in Boleh land, who knows...you can.
Btw ... I heard some consultants recommend the use of ultra sound or something ( no noise bird sound )... for apartment BH. Good luck to u.

My friend,

you should have get some good friend in the trade to have a close look at your BHs if they are in a prime areas. To have such a result is really very sad esp. in good location....as I never fail in good location as see no reason to fail unless there are problems that you didn't see so more eyes are better than the two eyes that you have. Like my new birdhouse in prime location, over 2 years have already has over 1000 nests and another more than one year have over 80 nests which is not a prime location. So, I believe that the best is not to sell but to look for someone to give advice on how to solve your bad luck and that's someone must be at the location to know the what actually happening to your BHs.

I am not interested in your BHs because I live far away or otherwise I may consider if it is in a prime location. Any problem getting approval from the authorities.

Taking a approval really get me mad cos in Pekan some owners already get approval and they are all committee members of the Pekan's Birdnest Association but what's about the rest of the members and owners..........surely we smell something some bad fishes here. So, please make very sure that when you elect your leaders, they must have your interests at heart, too.......not using their positions to get what they want and leave you all in the water.

Utusan today, was informed by a friend that Perhilitan is organizing a workshop regarding the swiftlet industry;

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y...07.htm&arc=hive

there was no mention on where and what time, but was made understood from that friend it started last night 8-10pm, tomorrow and possibly Sunday location somewhere in Dengkil. Anyone here ever participated in those workshops?
