最近时常接到询问关于燕屋为什么开声几个月后，还没有燕子呢？？
其实这是一个很多人时常问得问题，虽然我已经在之前谈了很多次，但是我觉得还是有些人不明白。
( Some reader ask why after a few month the farm started, the farm still empty?)
其实养燕，是需要考量很多因素。从燕屋外到燕屋内。
(swiftlet farming need to consider many factor, included macrohabitat( outside the farm) and microhabitat(inside the farm).
燕屋外的因素就包括我们选择的地方是否有其它燕屋，燕子是否在我们选择的地点经过。如果你选择的地点附近已经有其它燕屋，就更理想。如果在你附近的燕屋已经是有燕子入住，你的燕屋在完成后的成功机率就会提高很多。但是如果你选择的地点是个养燕然区，你就必需确定你掌握一定的技术，你的燕屋成功的机率才会提高。
(Macrohabitat included our farm location is swiftlet flying path and any farm nearby.It is a advand If your location near to other farm. If the farm nearby alrealy have tenant, your farm success rate will increase. But if your farm is located in a competitive/hot zone, you must mastered the skill to make sure your farm is compatible.)
在考量燕屋外的环境因素后，就是我们可以控制的因素。
在我们可以控制的因素，包括
( Besides the macrohabitat, the microhabitat is only part we can controlled, included)
设计 ( Farm Design)
这是一个很重要，也很残忍的一个环节。在我们设计燕屋时，我们不是以我们本身的观点考量，而是从燕子的方面考量。我本身看过很多燕屋，发现如果是很早期的燕屋，不是很注重设计。最大的原因是以前燕屋的数量很少，当燕子来到你燕屋游玩时，附近没有其它燕屋。在没有选择的情况下，燕子还是会选择比它们原本居住更安全的地方。但是，现在的情况有不一样。在你到达的每一个地方，如果你有留意，你都可以发现燕屋的踪影。
( this is the most important and the most crucial part. We must based on swiftlet characteristic to design a farm. I visited a lot of farm, i noticed that the pioneer farm not emphasis on design, but very success. The main reason is normally they are the first or second farm at that area,the bird don't have other choices. The swiftlet will prefer a safer place compare to wild. But the situation are different. If you noticed carefully, you can see the farm everywhere.)
在这个时候，燕屋的设计就变得很重要。你必需要让燕子可以轻易的进入你的燕屋内测试，你的燕屋才有成功的机会。
( Now, design of a farm is very importance. you must make sure your farm design are friendly to the bird, they can easily enter your farm. )
温度 ( Temperature)
虽然很多人都知道燕屋的理想温度是在28度-30度，但是很多人都没有真正的在控制燕屋内的温度。在控制燕屋的温度时，我们必需要控制燕屋内温度的稳定性。燕屋的温度不是在下午很重要，同时在晚上的时候，燕屋内的温度也是很重要的。很多人都很容易忽略燕屋内晚上的温度。
燕屋内的温度对燕子是很重要的。我们所才的燕窝就是燕子用来繁殖下一代的“家”。当我们希望燕子在我们的燕屋内建它们的家，我们就要确定燕屋内是适合它们繁殖下一代。当燕屋内的温度是在28度-30度，这个温度就是最适合燕子孵化燕蛋的温度。燕屋内的温度加上燕子本身的体温，才能使燕蛋孵化，繁殖下一代。
同时在这个温度，燕子是最容易建它们的“家”。
(Although everyone know the ideal temperature is between 28 celsius- 30c, but many people unable to control temparature in a farm. We must make sure the farm temperature is stable. A lot of people always ignored the night time temperature, they only noticed the daytime temperature. The farm temperature very importance. The birdnest the the place for swiftlet breed. W emust make sure our farm is suitable to them for breeding. The farm temperature between 28c -30c is suitable for breeding. This temperature is suitable for egg hatching.)
湿度 (humidity)
湿度是帮助我们可以更容易的控制燕屋内的温度。温度和湿度是互相影响的条件。
( Humidity in a farm help us to control the farm temperature easier. Humidity and temperature a effeted each other.)
暗度 ( Darkness)
由于燕子的习性是在黑暗的地方才能筑窝，所以我们也必需根据它们的习性而准备。但是很多人会问燕屋需多暗内？？通常最高那层的燕屋我们会安排燕屋的暗度是渐进式的。我们会准备燕屋有些地方是比较亮，到燕屋的尾端就是最暗的。这样可以让燕子自己选择适合它们的暗度筑窝的地方。
(swiftlet only build their nest in a dark area, our farm must follow their characteritic. But a lot of people will ask how dark is ideal? Normally we will arrange the farm is transience dark. We will design the end of the farm is darkeness. The swiftlet will choice the suitable darkness to build thier nest)
