When swiftlets are aplenty, there must be sustainable food supply in the area for them to feed, survive and reproduce for the long term. But what we face today is plantations and rainforests are transformed into concrete jungle in the vicinity. Swiftlets are forced to fly far to search for food and return late to feed their chicks. If climate change rapidly, they are probably caught off guard and not able to return to their habitats to feed their own chicks. As as result, growth of swiftlets will not be sustainable in the long run in the area. To resolve this dilemma as swiftlets keepers, we have to make insects readily available to keep the swiftlets alive and well by building insect habitats as a last resort. But for insects, the good or the bad, if God willing, all needed in this planet to keep ecosystem in balance, then we definitely don't want to add more bad insects to the planet by breeding them such as mosquitoes, as the ecological effect of eliminating harmful mosquitoes is simply more lives will be saved. Humans haven't found anything benefitial from them except for them to get lost. In order for swiftlets to grow indefinitely, we advocate only the good insects which provide pollination to crops on which humans depend should be bred.
