Bird's Nest Pictures Collection (20 Photos) Bird's nests are nests made by swallows, but these swallows are not the ones that we commonly see nesting under the eaves of houses. Those under the eaves are called house swallows (swallows) and belong to the swallow family. Their nests are made of grass or mud mixed with saliva and are not edible. The edible nests are made by another kind of swiftlet, called swiftlet, which belongs to the family Apodidae. It refers to the nests made by the saliva secreted by some of the Apodidae and several species of swiftlets in the genus Apodidae, mixed with other substances (e.g. feathers), instead of the nests made by birds in the family Apodidae (such as the house swifts). The nests are not made by birds of the family Sparidae (e.g., house swallows). The protein purity and nutritional value of swiftlet saliva is the highest.

Some bird's nests are called "blood bird's nests" because of the reddish color of the swiftlet's saliva due to the presence of seaweeds and other impurities in its food, and not because of any misunderstanding that the swiftlet has not completed its nest and is spitting out blood because it is holding back from laying its eggs. After the bird's nest is harvested, it has to go through complicated processing such as steaming, soaking, removing impurities, picking hairs and drying before it can be made into finished bird's nests, including bird's nests, bird's nests, bird's nests, bird's nest cakes and bird's nests. Bird's nests are made by removing impurities and retaining the original shape of the entire bird's nest, which is particularly expensive. Bird's Nest
