Birdnest Soup

The edible bird's nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. The nests have been used in Chinese cooking for over 500 years, most often as bird's nest soup. Bird's nest soup is made from nests of some species of swiftlet, mainly the Edible-nest (or White-nest) swiftlet (Aerodramus fuciphagus) and the Black-nest Swiftlet. Instead of twigs, feathers and straw, these swiftlets make their nest only from strands of their gummy saliva, which harden when exposed to air. Once the nests are harvested, they are cleaned and cook. Enjoy the HD pictures below, white nests are harvested from our well-maintained birdhouse with proper temperature and humidity set.
