Three mobile phone chats and all were from Sabah.
One of the most potential areas of swiftlet farming is in the state of Sabah Malaysia.
For some reasons there are so many calls from them and I am very sure there must be some good reasons for it.
Yesterday was with Mr.L who is working in PJ. We met for a cup of coffee and was informed that he is from a town, about 20 minutes off Kota Kinabalu.
His family owned about two pieces of land and wanted to know if these two lands are suitable to be converted into a swiftlet farm.
I am sure there are potential but I was very careful with what I said. I need to conduct a birdcall test first. If the calls result in positive response then he can go ahead. If not he need to perhaps think of doing something else like get a better location.
There are lots of Serinti and cave swiftlets. So he need to be very careful not to be carried away with the idea of constructing a BH.
The good new was that there is a BH in operation about 1 kilometer away.
Well in such a case his has a very strong case to do a full investigations on his plan to go ahead with his plans.
Mr advise still stays, do a birdcall test first and observe which direction they fly above the land both in the morning and evening.
He can also do some observations on the number of birds that are occupying the neighbor's BH by taking a closer look at the estimated number of birds coming back in the evening from anout 5.30 pm till dark (6.30 pm is already very dark in Sabah).
He indicated that he wanted to invite me over to conduct the survey and I am looking forward to be there. Maybe have a chance to meet some of my blog readers from KK or Sabah.
