Eating pure bird nests - myths and common misunderstandings

There are several common beliefs about bird nests. Most of these beliefs are actually myths. These misunderstandings are confusing and misleading to consumers. Misleading information makes it difficult to purchase high quality nests. In view of this problem, we have prepared this page to provide clear and accurate facts about the Bird's Nest.

Myth 1: from

 The cave produces better quality birds. Nesting due to the natural environment.

fact: from

 The caves and the nests of the houses were built by the same species of Swiflet, so both environments are naturally constructed. The only difference is the choice of environment. Previously, cave nests were considered more valuable due to the risks involved in the harvest. Harvesters often climb into caves without safety equipment to protect themselves from potential drops. However, in terms of quality, the nest of the house is always supreme. This is because the cave nest is exposed to a very dirty environment, while the nest is a cleaner environment for birds.

Myth 2: from

 The red/blood nest is built from the swiftlets that eat seafood.

fact: from

 Not long ago, it was believed that the red lair was created by overworked swiftlets, and the bird's nest was partially nested with blood. Today, red bird's nest is thought to be made by swiftlets, which contain seafood or foods that contain a lot of iron. Studies have shown that these two beliefs are not true. The red nest [red blood] is not created by the swiftlet, but by the surrounding environment.

The cave nest is red due to the mineral content and the wet surface of the cave seeping into the nest. This contamination of the nest through cave water significantly reduces the nutrient levels of the nest. The red appearance of the house is achieved through an unethical white lair. In order to allow the gas in the bird's nest feces to react with the nest, the harvest time is delayed. The gas emitted by the swiftlet is called ammonia. Ammonia is a compound in fertilizers and detergents.

Long-term consumption of a bird's nest contaminated in this way will have an adverse effect on personal health. Consumption of toxic chemicals is closely related to cancer and other major diseases. This is why all nest experts advise pregnant women and the elderly to avoid eating red nests.
