Not in tune with sound of swiftlet farming


SWIFTLET farming is a lucrative business in Malaysia that’s driven by high demand from China and elsewhere in the South-East Asian region.

In Kuala Terengganu, a natural habitat for swiftlets, these birds used to fly in flocks to the waterside every morning and evening several years ago. Their flight was an amazing sight to behold. Now, however, they are mostly seen flying to birdhouses built on top of shophouses.
