"swiftlet farming" is defined as a production system of edible birds' nest by preparing specially designed buildings imitating the cave-like environment for the swiftlets to roost and nest; harvesting of nests at the appropriate season does not affect the species from reproduction. To experienced swifltet farmers, your comments and suggestions would be much appreciated. To newbies, I hope this blog help you in your quest for more information and knowledge.

燕我嘉賓 - Takes on a new meaning



I stumbled upon this Chinese phrase hung around doorway at a Korean restaurant when I was traveling to Jeju island last year. I took a picture of it as I found it interesting and special to have a word "燕" in it. When this phrase is used in restaurant, the word "燕" has the same pronunciation as "宴" which means I am treated to like special guest at the restaurant. But when this phrase hung at entry hole of my swiftlet house, it takes on a new meaning and serves another purpose, I believe.
