Location may play a fundamental role in determining the bird nest growth rate of a BH.
If we use and repeat the similar design & method for BHs in different locations, it will definitely give us different result.
1 theory can not be practised throughout "1 Malaysia".
If designing a sucessful BH is so simple, we will have a lot of swiftlet farming "photocopy shop" providing/duplicating or churning out replica (like what we have seen in ecopark.)..we do not need to attend seminars, read books and search high & low for expert/sifu any more...
"Turnkey" concept is irrelevant for this industry, it is not meant or suitable or fit for lazy people who want to make money but do not want to go through the hardship.
One successful BH's secret recipe cannot be used 100% to guarantee another's. Everything is dependent on the environment (external & internal) and the circumstances...
Building BH in swiftlet hotspot area tends to have higher successful rate as compared to non-favorable area.
This is due to birds growth rate.
Be that as it may, it does not mean that we will have failed farm in non-hotspot area, is just that it will take longer gestation period for the ranchers to get back their money invested owing to the slower growth rate.
I have seen, many a times, there are more birds "swarming" the BHs located at some special areas and just one KM down the road, there are lesser birds populated the BHs over there. Some sifus try to explain such phenomenon as "due to the location is not in the flying path of the swiftlets".
It is analogical to property investment where the rental yield for houses located in prime area will be higher & growing faster than the slump area and the former will be comparatively much sought after by the buyers. Of course swiftlet hotspots will command higher investment cost. If the rancher does not have deep pocket, he/she will face no choice but downgrade to tolerate and accept areas where property value is lower and in the same time having lesser birds & lower growth rate.
So be wise to choose the location.
Personally, I will choose moderately good location and in the same time build a value-for-money BH, & it ought to be within my means.
But, a BH in the jungle will not be my first choice.
