Introduction of Bird's Nest

Bird's nest, also known as Swallow's Nest, the correct translation is SWIFLETS NEST, has always been recognized as a tonic, is a kind of growth in Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand around the sea, for the swiftlet and the same genus of swallows to eat the sea after small fish, algae and other organisms.

The mucus secreted by the digestive glands of the stomach and the downy feathers are built into nests and nests, which are mostly constructed on the cliffs of the islands, and are shaped like the swallows' nests on the land, hence the name.

The swiftlet nests three times a year, and the first time the nest is thick and white, because the swiftlet has a long time to recuperate after a long winter and stores enough nutrients in its body.

Saliva quality is better, so the nests are thicker and better shaped, making them into marigolds, which is why they are called "Bird's Nest Marigolds", which is the best of all bird's nests.

Types of Bird's Nests:

I. House Bird's Nests: Those that grow in the house are called House Bird's Nests, and their colors are white, yellow and red. Generally, the white bird's nests are called "Official Bird's Nest", the yellow bird's nests are called "Golden Bird's Nest", and the red bird's nests are called "Blood Bird's Nest".

Two: Grass Swallows: Wild swallows fly into the house to build their nests and spit out saliva containing grass. In the past, when bird's nests were not so popular, there were not many house swiftlets for sale in the local market. However, with the increasing demand, there is a large number of low-priced house swiftlets.

Third, Cave Bird's Nest: Thai Bird's Nest, Hoi An Bird's Nest and Malaysian Bird's Nest are all Cave Bird's Nests, with colors of white, red, pink and orange-red.

4. Hairy Bird's Nest: A type of Cave Bird's Nest. This type of swiftlet likes to mix its body feathers with saliva when it builds its nest. This raw material is used in swiftlet silk and swiftlet cake. In the past, a ball of white swiftlet silk wrapped in cellophane was all beautifully named: 'Dragon's Tooth Bird's Nest Silk'.

Fifth, Philippine Grass Swallow: Wild swallows from the Philippines nest in grassy slopes. Some people rinse it and make it into swiftlet cake, because its silk is very young, and its appearance and color are very beautiful after processing, so it has a beautiful name: "Golden Silk Bird's Nest Cake".
