The Pure Wet Bird's Nest 纯正湿燕窝


这是在所拍摄的燕屋,燕子,燕窝中,最满意的其中一张相片了。因为是在雨天的关系,燕屋屋顶漏水了,燕窝几乎淋湿以致发胀了好几倍,幸好还没有小鸟。这种情况下,唯一可做到的是。。等,等,等。等到天气热的时候钻进天花板,爬到屋顶上补漏,千万别把燕窝给拔了。小心看一看这个燕窝,它的根基是很稳固的,而且还在那位置繁殖了好几代。在这里,养燕业这行非常辛苦。要遇到天敌,如鸟鹰,猫头鹰,蛇,壁虎,老鼠等,而且还有没真正规划的关系与常识,加上邻居的投诉 ,政府方面的取缔,使我们这一行,成为了非法一族。还有如果燕窝商能与燕屋商能好好配合与交流,大家的货色与价格都能统一,互惠互利,绝对双赢。

This is a photo taken at a swiftlet house. It is the most pleasing photo i currently possess amongst my many photos of swiftlets and swiftlet houses. Due to the rainy conditions, the roof is leaking, the birds nest has also expanded due to water rentention. Thankfully, there are no little swiftlets here. In this situation, the only thing we can do.. is to wait. We have to wait for the weather to improve, and make repairs to the leak on the roof. We should never remove the bird's nests.

If we look carefully at the nest, it is secured tightly, this location has also been used to breed several generations. Swiftlet farming is a tough line, apart from natural predators like eagles, owls, snakes, lizards and rats, we have to understand the laws and reglations, endure the neighbourhood complaints and potential government interference. We have even been viewed as an illegal trade. If we develop a synery, and compromise to provide for a standardised price and quality, it will definitely be a win win situation.
