Where does bird’s nest come from?

Bird's nest is a nest made by swallows, but this kind of swallow is not the one we often see building nests under the eaves. Bird's nest is built by a kind of swallow, which belongs to the family Apodidae and is called "swiftlet".

Specifically, it refers to the nests built by the saliva secreted by some swifts of the Apodidae family and several species of the genus Vertebrata, Apodidae, Apidae, mixed with other substances. The swallow's nest is crescent-shaped, like a human ear, with a diameter of 6 to 7 cm, a thick base, thin walls, and weighs about 10 to 15 grams. The outside of a swallow's nest is neat, but the inside is rough, like a loofah network. The entire bird's nest is white, crystal clear, and elastic, attached to the rocky cliff.

The swiftlet can lay eggs three times a year, that is, build three nests. The nesting season of the swiftlet in Southeast Asia coincides with the northeast monsoon season, which is between September and April of the following year.

During the dry season from May to August each year, swallows fly less, their salivary systems are inactive, and they rarely reproduce. At this time, the number of edible insects decreases and the swallows also enter the molting period. The bird's nest at this time is very thin and mixed with a lot of feathers.
