Poultry humidifier VS mist-cooling-system humidifier



Poultry humidifier (半天露)

1. Convenient, easy to use, controllable with timer.

2. Cheaper, around RM300-500 per nos.

3. Bird shit may deposit in the fan. However, this problem can be solved by covering it with a metal deck sheet.

4. A bit noisy.






Mist-cooling-system humidifier (喷雾)

1. More expensive, around RM2000

2. Spraying outlet opening tends to get choked.

3. Not easy to control the temperature, need the aid of hygrostat.

4. Need to have duty and standby units, 2 nos, in case the duty unit broken down.

5. Incur higher BH maintenance cost.

Swiftlet Farming Is 4D!

About 10-20 years ago, people defined luxurious lifestyle as owning 5"C":

They are:

1) Car

2) Cash

3) Career

4) Condominium &

5) Credit card

However, these criteria are already obsolete and become nothing special in today's world.

Nowadays, people are more concerning about how long that we can maintain our present luxurious lifestyle if one day we loss our job. Any serious impact on our career will straight away take away our other "C"s.

Today, if you venture into swiftlet farming and are successful, you not only own 5"C", but own as well the other 4"D".

Well then what is 4 D?

Haha,,, :)

It is "Duduk Diam-diam Dapat Duit" (The meaning is : sit quietly also get money)

I have seen so many people talk about birds from morning til afternoon and til evening without doing anything, the money still coming into their pockets. They own the freedom to travel from here to everywhere coz....

The money is chasing after them!

This is a very lucrative trade. If the knowledge, skill and experience can be shared and the sifus are willing to reveal the secret, I believe that everyone will be 4D, haha, anyway it's just my wishful thinking, thinking too much of birds recently until suffering from swiftlet hallucination.....

Hopefully, like Air Asia : Now Everyone Can Fly!

it will one day be:

Now Everyone Can Swiftlet Farming!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? My lovely swiftlet




Where are they going everyday?

Where do they come from?

Where will they go during the last moment of their lives?

All these questions will remain mystery & unsolved to me, at least not for a while...

Their movement is so swift that we barely can observe & watch & "lock-on" them with our naked eyes, let alone tracking them without the aid of proper scientific equipment...

Aerodramus Fuciphagus, some say that they can travel as fast as 80 km/h and can travel as far as few hundreds km's radius away from their BH/cave/home in search of food...

They are very special living creature. They eat, rest and play in the sky. They will never touch the ground due to their thin legs. So what happen if one day they are sick? I presume they seldom fall sick and even so, they will stay inside the BH/cave. They will fly and fly until their last breath where they will drop down free-fall from the sky...

That's why the chance is very slim, close to zero for them to spread over any contagious disease due to this special nature.

Heard from some sifus that apart from a place for socialising, mixing, playing, gathering, mating, etc the swiftlets must also have a sacred place for them to rest in peace. Else, why can't we find any of their dead bodies? Definitely not in the BHs (except accident cases), not under the trees, not on the roads, not on the roof, and not within our visibility.

I believe that there must be a place they choose to go thru the last moment of life quietly...come quietly and leave unnoticeably....

However, we have never seen their burial ground before.

If it happened to be one, I think it should be perfectly research-worthy and also should be a place closest to the heaven....

After all, this is only my unsolicited guess. Is there anybody out there to enlighten me with the true facts?

You are most welcome coz I like to know.




Where is 贵人 ?




I don't think there is an English word for "贵人".

Well, "贵人" is someone who offers to help us unconditionally when we are in deep trouble.

I always like to think that if there is a "贵人" be there to help us, it is easier and faster for us to achieve the dream of building a successful BH, as we would not need to beat around the bush and especially be exposed to the risk of being conned by the conman.

Who are our "贵人" and how to find "贵人" ?

It all boils down to one thing: when the "贵人" turns up, are we ready to welcome him/her? Or put it in another way, is it worth for the "贵人" to offer something to you?

As such, we need to observe and think, think and observe..Just like the bird, observe, judge and think before making decision to stay in your BH and confirm that your BH is a "贵屋".

It is most important that we should make ourselves well-prepared to meet the "贵人".

Be sincere, honest and humble I believe we will be able to find him/her soon...

Good luck!

Just Beat It!




In this industry, there are plenty of things that we can do and cannot do.

We do not need a scientist's brain to understand this.

Choose the right side, stick to it and never cross over to the wrong side. Hold on to our principle. Listen to our true heart. We will be fine, alright and happy as always.

Everybody understands that everything is money, but money is not everything. We do not do things that will hurt others, invite public wrath and cost dearly to our fellow friends just for the sake of gaining some extra money.

It is important that our good reputation should come in the first place and should not be jeopardized at all.

Just think twice before we start doing anything. When we are craving for the Godsend gift, we do not need to overdo it until it has to sacrifice others' livelihood and peaceful lives .

Recently, we have witnessed so many ugly things happen around us...However,....

Whatever has been done is considered done, we do not cry over the spilled milk and...

We have to move on,..

Those people who had done it either intentionally or unintentionally, we hope that they will be forgot and forgiven. Otherwise, they owe it to themselves a good reason why they should not be judged in hell..

Those people who are planning to do it, we hope that they can pull the hand-brake now before it is too late...

Swiftlet farmers should not to be seen as lame duck. We are the mastermind of the art & science in delivering & engineering a high value BH. Our success does not come so easily. It takes a lot of hardship and efforts thrown by going thru the passage of time.

No need to argue about what we have accomplished so far. It is proven that we have given life to the abandoned & low value real properties whereby we convert the hopeless into high value investment.

During such process, we do not follow everything verbatim, but we try to make use of what we learned and make improvement again and again untiringly until we see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Most importantly, we do not plagiarise.

Not like some of the ecopark developers..

They are following our footstep blindly, copycatting, and worse they do not allow 'simbiosis' and they try to stab us from behind, step on us to climb to the next level.

This is something we should not tolerate and compromise..

We, town swiftlet farmers are nobody but nobody cannot simply replace us as true swiftlet farmers.

We have to make clear to them...

We will not be afraid to fight our own course!

We will fight until the last bullet to protect ourselves from the evil agendas!

We will not be wobble in eradicating the black hats who are trying to put sand in our rice bowls!

We will stand firm to fight for our own survival!

From now on, all the town BH owners should set aside our differences, stand out to fight the evil together and to fend our rights by bravely speak out together before too late .

This is the right thing we can do and should do, in this industry.

By being united, we will be unbeatable and invincible.

Coz we will be always on the bright sides and the darker side cannot harm us.

We get over the obstacle but not the obstacle get over us.

Just do it, just beat it.

Good luck!
