Swiftlet farming is a multimillion dollars business. It is a hobby-cum-good investment especially for those who have a very deep pocket.
As it is a lucrative and attractive industry, every year it has enticed a lot of newbies who yearn for an early retirement to venture into it.
Furthermore, there is one thing special about this industry. You can understand and catch up with the knowledge of this industry quite well within a short period if you have met the right people & do the right thing at the right place in the right time.
You do not have to study in university to pick up all those related theories in order to master the skill to excel in this trade.
All you need to do is to gain as much practical experience as possible. It is just like newly graduated lawyer needs to go through apprenticeship under senior’s supervision for actual practical works before called to bar, or doctor under few years of houseman ship.
Do you know that for any of the industries, many a time, the beginners are normally put off by the terminology or so-called “alien’s language”? Physicians, lawyers, architects and engineers all have their own language. All like to portrait themselves as a priestly superior class with a knowledge which is not available to the everyday ordinary men. We can’t blame them as they just want to protect themselves from outsiders by resort to the language of their own.
However, swiftlet farming does not give you this hassle. Most of the time, you do not need to memorise a lot of technical terms and the common terms used by the industry players could be easily comprehended. The only problem associated with this trade is that we rarely have in-depth and comprehensive researches carried out to differentiate the right from wrong of some theories pertinent to the technology used, design and the bird’s behaviour.
All the techniques, skills, tricks and findings of this trade can be explained scientifically. In fact, BH design is a blend of art and science, just like architecture and engineering. Nobody can claim that someone’s BH design is absolutely wrong; we can only comment that the design may take longer time to bear fruit, not so cost-effective or not practical.
Once a while, we might be deterred by the feeling that some explanations are at odds with what we have observed and what have happened in reality. The theories may not be able to explain certain behaviour of the swiftlets. For instance, we have been told that swiftlets like to stay in darkness but sometimes we will have strange case where they are found building their nests in the bright area (please refer to the photos below).
Be that as it may, I find this alright to me as no economy model or human behavior theory can explain well, capture and predict precisely what will happen to our country tomorrow. Just tell me which famous doctor cures all his patients? Under the hot sun, there will be some exceptional case as far as the nature is concerned. If the theory can correctly explain 99% percent of all the occurrences, it should be considered good enough.
In a nutshell, I like to say it is worth the effort we spend if we embark on this business. It is not as difficult as you perceive, and I believe the effort we spend and the time we invest to obtain a degree is much harder than this. However, there is no hard and fast rule. There is no easy way but if there is a will there is a way. Do not rush for it and you should only start once you are confident to do so. Learning consistently and gradually during the weekend and God willing we can improve very soon.
Now, are you feeling excited?
Are you impressed?
Are you inspired?
Perhaps this is the time you should consider to give it a hit.
