How The Swiftlet Having Sex


This pictured is taken during a visit in one of my BH project. I saw this 2 bird are having sex in the bird house. I hope to share this pictured to you.
From this pictured also, you can saw that the nest in this bird house is cracking due to the humidity drop. After i verify it, the humidity is only min 55 % and Max is 65% only.
What i am want to share is, the humidity will not effect the qty of the bird stay in a BH but the quality of the nest only. !!! This bird house already have more then 90 nest.

Before Start Your New Swiftlet House Project

Got a lot of my blog reader always asking me about the design of a bird house and the cost to build it. Actually all bird house is not same. It depend on few item that we need to do some test and verify first :-

1) Do the bird call test first.
- need to do for few time . Get the information about the qty of the bird, flying path of the bird and the size of the bird.
- From this test, you can design the size of the bird house you going to built.

2) Get the information of the nearest bird house.
- the qty of the bird insides.
- the design of the bird house.

3) Get the direction of the Sun and food source.
- will help you to reduce the temperatures.

4) the wing direction

5) surrounding area.

This is my basic data that i need before start a new project. Hope you can do the same and can help you to become a good and success farmer. My advise is do not built a big one, just built a small one first but remember, min is 15 X 40 feet.
