from my experience....
at various points of delving in to swiftlet farming, one's expectations varies....
1. seeking potential sites...
always conducting bird call to assess swiftlet density in a particular area
2. after site has been determined...
talking to contractors, successful swiftlet farmers on the BEST possible design
3. construction stage...
still conducting bird call for reassurances and continually fine-tuning the birdhouse design
4. Birdhouse completed...
trying to purchase meranti planks, installing cctv, humidifiers and speakers
5. one month after sound has been turned on...
seeking for the 1st bird shit spot.
6. two months after sound turned on...
still fine-tuning micro climate
if many bird shit spots present, looking for feather on floor, i.e. signs of mating
7. three months on...
looking for signs of signs of nest formation above bird shit spots.
looking at sky for density of birds
8. six months on...
still seeking out new spots of bird shit.
9. 12 months on...
counting the first harvest with one hand
10. 15 months on...
harvesting and counting number of nests with both hands
11. 18 months on...
birdhouse smells like a birdhouse
12. 24 months...
consideration of constructing a new birdhouse beside!
my tip, enjoy the various points as i did progressing...
