After noticed that both my amplifiers broken down and the bird house was without sound for more than 2 weeks, everything has to start over again. This time the new amplifiers are equipped with fans to cool down the temperature.
Things that have changed by my consultant are as follows:
• Change to new amplifiers and new sound
• Painted the roving area with white paint instead of black paint
• Connect JBA water into the water tanks
• Make an extra hole 2’ x 3’ between the entrance area to the roving area
• Increase the aroma in the nesting area
• Change the mechanical ventilators timer
Hopefully, what was done by the consultant is effective to attract the swiftlets. The most important in swiftlet farming is not to give up. I have a friend that renovated his bird house for 6 times before having a house full of birds.
There are also some lucky ones like my friend’s brother-in-law who own a bird house in Pahang. His bird house has more than 100 nests within a year.
