Selection of Bird’s Saliva Nests

• Shape and volume

Spoon-shaped Bird’s Saliva Nests are most welcome while triangular-shaped Bird’s Saliva Nests are caused by shaping due to nests being built too close to corners of walls but their nutritional values are the same. Naturally shaped and large Bird’s Saliva Nest pieces determine the classes of Bird’s Saliva Nests.

• Colour and cleanliness

Different types of minerals are contained in the food sought after by Bird’s Saliva Nest and the colour of the saliva secreted by them has different shades. The colour of Bird’s Saliva Nests becomes lighter when they are soaked in water; they expand and the strips of Bird’s Saliva Nests become transparent while the water in which they are soaked remains clear. Be extra careful if the Bird’s Saliva Nests are extremely white. This type of Bird’s Saliva Nest could have been bleached and this would drastically reduce their nutritional value or they may even harm the human body.

• Density and expansion coefficient

The finer and more concentrated the Bird’s Saliva Nest strands, without empty gaps in between and Bird’s Saliva Nest pieces which are larger and thicker would expand more when soaked. Different classes of Bird’s Saliva Nest possess different expansion coefficient, that is their weight would increase several times after soaking compared to their dry weights. “Expansion coefficient” is a technical word used in the industry to mean the affinity for water. The higher the expansion coefficient, the more the Bird’s Saliva Nest expands. Expansion coefficient should be calculated based on weight rather than volume.

• Price and dampness

Natural pure Bird’s Saliva Nests possess the taste of swiftlet saliva and a slight fishy smell, while there is a slight fragrance of proteins upon stewing. Always choose dry Bird’s Saliva Nests with a sticky feeling when held in your hand. Those which feel soft are definitely not dry. Besides containing lots of water, and apart from being disliked, they are not suitable for storage as they get moldy easily and their expansion coefficient is lower.

• Price and reliability

The selection and purchase of Bird’s Saliva Nests is best done at reliable outlets for assurance of quality.

The Benefits of Bird’s Saliva Nests

It has been proven by a German chemist, Emilfischer, more than a century ago that growth factors of the epidermis is made up of polypeptide chains consisting of amino acids from proteins. Glycine is formed when one water molecule is removed and the growth bond is known as a peptide bond. If this reaction continues, polypeptides containing various types of amino acids are formed. Many of the polypeptides with smaller molecules in animals, plants and bacteria possess important biological functions. Polypeptide hormones are some of the more important products.

Bird’s Saliva Nests contain a very important polypeptide hormone

It has been discovered that Bird’s Saliva Nests contain a very important polypeptide hormone – the Epidermal Growth Factor or EGF). This substance is found in most of the body fluids within the human body, and its content is the highest in milk and sperm. They are synthesized chiefly by the submaxillary gland and the duodenum and they possess various essential biological functions such as inhibiting the secretion of gastric juices and protecting the duodenum.

Genes of beauty

EGF also has another very important function and it has been nicknamed “genes of beauty” as a result thereof. It is able to stimulate the fission and propagation of various cells, promote cell division, repair skin damage speedily and bring about the healing of wounds caused by surgery and injuries. It affects the fineness and ageing of human skin and it motivates ageing skin, rejuvenating it and bringing back its luster and elasticity.

Take care of skin and keep youthful

The above discovery not only brought good news to women of the world. In fact, for the past years, famous movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan , especially females, have made Bird’s Saliva Nest their favourite. Bird’s Saliva Nest has helped them to take care of their skin and kept them youthful even under the stress of making movies or attending concerts. All these secrets have been made public through the media.
It can now be seen that Bird’s Saliva Nest possesses miraculous effects in beautifying skin. There are not only practical experiences proving this but also scientific proof. Mitochysis experts have even extracted a substance capable of improving immunity by promoting the fission of T cells and B cells from Bird’s Saliva Nest.

Supply human health

Lymphatic cells are important to immune cells in the human body and they include T lymphatic cells and B lymphatic cells. The mitochysis substance contained in Bird’s Saliva Nest stimulates lymphatic cells to improve immunity in the human body. It is also one of the basic substances contained in Bird’s Saliva Nest for supplementing human health.

About Bird’s Saliva Nest - Birdnest's History

The first person to taste Bird’s Saliva Nest

PictureIt has been said in the “Bai Shi Tong” that there was a person in Java , Indonesia by the name of Sato Nurod who saw Bird’s Saliva Nest flying to limestone caves on mountains near the sea. His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to venture into the limestone caves. There were many beautiful Bird’s Saliva Nests inside and he removed a few and took them home. At first, he thought it was jus fun but he decided to test for its taste. He cooked a few pieces of the Bird’s Saliva Nest and found them to be tasty. News spread and the local people went to collect Bird’s Saliva Nest from the limestone caves. After long periods of consumption, everyone felt healthy and energetic and that was when they realized Bird’s Saliva Nest is a treasure. From then on, the tradition of Bird’s Saliva Nest as a nutritional product was popularized. This may be just a legend and since it was ages ago, there was no way to prove its authenticity. The earliest tax on Bird’s Saliva Nest was recorded during the Ming Dynasty in 1589 where “superior grade Bird’s Saliva Nest was taxed 1 tael of silver for every 100 katis, medium grade at 0.7 tael of silver and low grade at 0.2 tael of silver.” It can thus be seen that trading in Bird’s Saliva Nest was very mature at that time.

Historical records showed that when Admiral Zheng He sailed south (1405-1433 AD), at a time when barter trade was carried out between Chinese fleets and South East Asian countries, ceramics from the Tang Dynasty were traded for Bird’s Saliva Nest from the people of Borneo (consisting of Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia). These were brought as tributes to the emperor and since then, Bird’s Saliva Nest was regarded as a precious nutritional supplement.
Zheng He visited the coastal regions of Malaysia , Indonesia and Thailand which are chief production places of Bird’s Saliva Nest. It has been recorded that some 125,000 pounds of Bird’s Saliva Nest consisting of some 4 million pieces were exported from Batavia , Java (now known as Jakarta ) to China after the 17 th century. This coincided with the seven voyages down south of Zheng He.
The following is a legend on how Zheng He discovered Bird’s Saliva Nest: There was once Zheng He's fleet was caught in a thunderstorm on one of his trips down south. He floated to a deserted island in the Malay Archipelago . When there was a shortage of food, some of the sailors accidentally discovered there were Bird’s Saliva Nest on the cliffs. Zheng He ordered his subordinates to take the Bird’s Saliva Nests, cleanse them and stew as food. Several days later, everyone of his crew looked healthy and was full of energy. Upon returning home, Zheng He presented the Bird’s Saliva Nest to the Emperor. From then on, Bird’s Saliva Nest became an item used as tribute to the Emperor and court officials. The practice of using Bird’s Saliva Nest for beauty purposes also became popular in the royal courts.

The earliest Chinese to discover Bird’s Saliva Nest:

The “Sarawak Records”: When Ye Zhen Hua and Wang San Shu of Kuching reached Miri in Sarawak , they discovered a swiftlet cave. At that time, whoever discovers any swiftlet cave can have it as his personal property.

The earliest medical records on Bird’s Saliva Nest:

“Ben Jing Feng Yuan”: Written by Zhang Lu Cheng in 1659. It has been recorded that “Bird’s Saliva Nest is sweet and mild. It promotes the constructive combination between metal and water, the lungs nourishes the kidneys, while it also calms down the stomach, making it an excellent food.”

The earliest record on Bird’s Saliva Nest in medical books:

“Medical Dictionary of China” was published by Xie Guan in 1921. It has been recorded that Bird’s Saliva Nest is used for revitalizing qi, balancing qi, nourishing the lungs, improving appetite, dissolving phlegm, stopping cough, increasing sperm, nourishing bone marrow and as an aphrodisiac.”

The earliest poetry on Bird’s Saliva Nest:

“Wu Mei Cun Poetry Collection”: End of the Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Wu Wei Ye (1609-1671) wrote: The sea Bird’s Saliva Nest are homeless, they fight for tiny white fishes. They provide food for humans, but they can never settle down. The taste is delicious but their nests are soon empty. Officials look for things afar and they present their books early.”

The classic literature which described Bird’s Saliva Nest most:

“Dream of the Red Chamber”: In the diet of Da Guan Yuan in the Dream of the Red Chamber, the word “Bird’s Saliva Nest” appeared 17 times. There is a passage which sounded, “Dai Yu is weak and replenishment of superior nutrients is not recommended. The most suitable nutritional replenishment recommended was Bird’s Saliva Nest. For Qin Ke Qing who suffers from both weakness of the blood and qi and Jia Bao Yu who is mentally down and weak, Bird’s Saliva Nest is the perfect medicine for them. In Chapter 45 of the Dream of the Red Chamber, Bao Chai said, “I saw your prescription yesterday and found that there is too much of Ginseng and Cinnamon. Although these herbs replenish both qi and mental energy, they are too heaty. I would suggest that the liver be calmed down and nourishment be given to the stomach first. When the heat in the liver is gone, the gas in the stomach will also disappear. Health can be maintained by just taking in food. Take one tael of Bird’s Saliva Nest upon waking up each morning, added with half a tael of rock sugar and boiled into porridge. Taking it on a regular basis, it possesses strong effects and is best for replenishing qi.” This clearly showed that Bird’s Saliva Nest has been utilized in Chinese food since a long time ago. It also showed that Bird’s Saliva Nest possess the ability to calm down the liver and nourish the stomach while replenishing qi.

Bird’s Saliva Nest: Advantages and Disadvantages of this Custody Option

Parents often ask me to describe what options they have for their post-divorce living arrangements. In addition to the many ways it is possible for children go back and forth between two residences, there is also the possibility of having children stay in the home they are currently living in while the parents move in and out. This is sometimes described as “the children get the house,” “Bird’s Saliva Nest,” or just “nesting.”

The Advantages

• Said to be child-centric: it focuses on the needs of the children.
• Children are able to continue to live in their home for a greater sense of stability.
• Minimizes the difficulty for children of living in two places, like forgetting homework, toys, clothing, or other belongings at the other parent’s home.
• Parents might be better able to handle the experience of moving back and forth between their residences than the children might be.

How It Works

The parents move in and out of the home according to the parenting plan they have established. This might include a situation where one parent spends the night with the children. The other parent comes to the house when the first parent goes to work and is at the home until the working parent comes home, often after dinner. The daytime parent then goes to their “other” residence. This arrangement could change depending on which parent is spending the night with the children.
Alternately, one parent can live in the home with the children for one week, then the other lives with them the following week. This is what as known as a week on/week off arrangement.
In a 2003 case in Ontario, Canada (Greenough v Greenough), the judge court-ordered parents to implement a Bird’s Saliva Nest arrangement—which they had not requested—until the hearings on the case could continue.

In the case record, Justice Quinn wrote:

“The court made a Bird’s Saliva Nest custody arrangement in which the children (aged 3 and 5 years) remained in the home, with the mother staying in the home during the week and the father on the weekend. I think that the benefits of a Bird’s Saliva Nest order are best achieved where the children are able to stay in the matrimonial home, particularly if it has been the only residence that they have known…
“Time and time again I have seen cases (and this is one) where the children are being treated as Frisbees. In general, parents do not seem to appreciate the gross disruption to which children are subjected where one of the parents has frequent access. In this regard, I do not believe there must be evidence that the children are suffering before the court is free to act. To me, it is a matter of common sense. At the risk of falling prey to simplistic generalities, I am of the view that, given a choice, I do not see why anyone would select a living arrangement which involved so much movement from house to house.”
Justice Quinn clearly saw the advantages to the children of living in the home they were most familiar with and of having little change in their day-to-day lives, and saw the role of the court as instrumental in advancing this option on behalf of the children.

The Disadvantages

• It is expensive. Unless the parents are able to share the residence in which the children do not live, they are looking at having three residences, one for the children and one for each parent when they are not living with the children.
• It requires a large degree of civility between the parents and the ability to get along and make decisions together. In general, the absence of conflict is the best indicator of resiliency for children, both in a marriage and post-divorce. A Bird’s Saliva Nest situation, especially, cannot work if there is conflict. Co-parents who choose this model might consider working with a mediator or other professional who can assist in discussing the fine-tuning necessary to make the arrangement workable.
• It does not take into consideration what would happen when one or both parents enter a new relationship. Even before this aspect of “moving on” occurs post-divorce, both parents often need to individuate from each other and establish separate lives in order to disentangle from the marriage relationship they had with each other. Bird’s Saliva Nest does not adequately foster this aspect of divorcing.
• House rules: in order for parents’ movements to occur in a non-disruptive manner, both parents would need to have similar rules and house cleaning sensibilities. “House rules” need to be established to avoid creating a situation where children need to remember which rules are in place on which days, or at which times, depending on which parent is “on.”
These lists are not exhaustive. Clearly, Bird’s Saliva Nest is not for everyone. The question remains whether it is for even doable for a small percentage of divorcing families. We do know that when parents live in close proximity to each other, when the children have easy access between homes, and are not subject to ongoing conflict, children of divorced families are quite resilient and do as well as children from families where there is no divorce. This might be a solution that is just shy of Bird’s Saliva Nest: good neighbors.

The Best Types of Bird’s Saliva Nests on the Market

If you’re new to the world of Bird’s Saliva Nests, then you’re probably a little overwhelmed by the choices you have.

There are dozens of websites selling Bird’s Saliva Nests, and all of them seem to have varying ratings for their nests. What is a AAAA nest on one site could be a AAA nest on another site.

While there’s no uniformity in the way Bird’s Saliva Nests are graded, there are basic principles to know which types of Bird’s Saliva Nests are the best

Best Color for Bird’s Saliva Nests

When you’re shopping for Bird’s Saliva Nests based on color, the best edible nest you can buy is red Bird’s Saliva Nests. These nests make up a very small segment of the market; their rarity lends not only to them being sought-after but costing more than all other colors.
The color of the nest was, for many centuries, attributed to a bird’s blood mixed with saliva – this is why they’re also known as blood nests. However, science has revealed the nests get their color as minerals absorbed into the nest mix with air and water.
Reputable sites will sell legitimate red nests, but there are fakes sold by companies who color white nests with sodium nitrate. These nests can be dangerous to your health. You know you have fake blood nests if the color noticeably bleeds while soaking them.

Best Origin for Bird’s Saliva Nests

Bird’s Saliva Nest come from one of two places: in the wild or from farms.
Some will argue that nests from the wild are the best. These nests are harvested from caves or cliffs and, according to some, have a unique flavor profile seasoned by sea air and rock mineral.
This isn’t always the case, as some limestone caves that house swallow nests that don’t get much contact with sea air.
On the other hand, farm-grown Bird’s Saliva Nests are harvested in urban areas, but this doesn’t affect their flavor as much as you would think. The taste nuances of Bird’s Saliva Nests tends to come from the swallow’s saliva.
A great example of this is are red Bird’s Saliva Nests – though some of them get their red color from rock minerals, they don’t have much of a different taste from red nests harvested from farms.

Is the cup shape a perfect half-moon? Do the fibers seem unorganized or are they flat and uniform? These are indications that the nests are, in fact, high quality and deserve their rating.
As a rule of thumb, the more A’s a nest gets, the better the quality.

How to select Bird’s Saliva Nest

A gift of Bird’s Saliva Nest is commonly perceived as a gift of good health. But how much do you really know about this Chinese delicacy?

To start off, Bird’s Saliva Nest is produced by three species of Bird’s Saliva Nest - white-nest, black-nest and grass-nest.
These birds use a glutinous saliva secretion to construct their nests, which are prized by the Chinese, who believe they can boost one's complexion and immune system.
Herbalist Ang Lai Chye, a retail supervisor at Eu Yan Sang's Paragon outlet, said between 85 per cent and 97 per cent of the nest built by the white-nest swiflet contains salivary glutinous strands, so it is considered the "cleanest" nest among the three species.
The black-nest swiftlet, on the other hand, mixes feathers and plant materials with its salivary secretion to build its nests.
Grass-nest Bird’s Saliva Nest, as the name implies, build their nests with grass and salivary secretion. For these two species of Bird’s Saliva Nest, only 5 per cent to 15 per cent of their nests contain salivary strands, though these nests are also eaten.
A swiftlet builds its nest to lay eggs and house its young till they are ready to take flight.
Licensed harvesters must ensure that nests are collected only after they have been abandoned by young Bird’s Saliva Nest, said Mr Ang.
That is why harvesting time coincides with the Bird’s Saliva Nest' breeding season and ends before nesting begins, he added.
Bird’s Saliva Nest can be harvested once or twice a year. The first harvest may take place between November and March, when there is a surplus of rain and food. Industry players regard nests built during this period to be of the best quality, Mr Ang said.
The second harvest is carried out from late July to early September, with each harvest typically lasting about 10 days.
Bird’s Saliva Nests can be found in caves on cliffs, or in purpose-built houses. While their nutritional content is similar, house nests are cleaner, with fewer impurities and feathers than nests built in caves. They also expand more quickly when soaked in water, and cook more quickly.
Cave nests have a lower swelling capacity because they are generally firmer and harder, owing to their harsh natural climate.
If the raw Bird’s Saliva Nest disintegrates easily upon contact with water, it is a sign that the product may actually contain very little of real Bird’s Saliva Nest.
It is also a myth that the red-coloured "blood Bird’s Saliva Nest" is formed by Bird’s Saliva Nest that vomit their blood to build their nests.
What happens, in fact, is that the Bird’s Saliva Nest absorbs minerals from the cave walls, which then gives it the unique colour, Mr Ang explained.

Buyer's knowledge poor

A recent poll of 300 people by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) retailer Eu Yan Sang found that 72 per cent consumed Bird’s Saliva Nest.
But 66 per cent of respondents had no idea how the price or quality of Bird’s Saliva Nest was determined.
The size and shape of Bird’s Saliva Nest are actually the key factors in determining its price - not its nutritional value, explained Mr Ang.
In other words, you pay more for its appearance.
Those that are curved in the shape of a spoon are considered the most ideal ones.
As for whole Bird’s Saliva Nest, it takes skill to keep the pieces intact during the cleaning process, so it tends to cost more too, he said.
The finer and more compact the Bird’s Saliva Nest strands, the higher its price as well.

Beware of counterfeits

There are eight different grades of Bird’s Saliva Nests, which determine their selling price.
Mr Ang said Eu Yan Sang sells only those from grade three onwards.
A tael (37.6g) of house nests at the retail outlet goes for $128 to $368, while the same amount of the less common cave nests cost between $198 and $788.
A 150g bottle of concentrated Bird’s Saliva Nest is priced between $49.90 and $89.90.
When preparing and eating Bird’s Saliva Nest at home, you can tell how authentic it is by observing its colour and smell.
When it is soaked in water, the strips of saliva should expand and turn transparent. But the water in which it is soaked should remain clear.
Bird’s Saliva Nests which have an extremely white colour may have been bleached, warned Mr Ang.
The real nests will also have a fishy tinge because of the swiftlet's saliva.
After cooking, the aroma should be like that of egg white.
Meanwhile, counterfeits will reek of additives, Mr Ang said.
You can also tell the source of a Bird’s Saliva Nest based on how it feels in the mouth.
Cave nests tend to be crunchy and chewy, while house nests are softer, smoother and more slippery.
When buying raw Bird’s Saliva Nest, weigh its price against the size, shape and thickness of the nest and the firmness of the threads.
Its swelling capacity, taste and smell can be judged only during preparation and eating.
Bottled Bird’s Saliva Nest is a convenient alternative to raw Bird’s Saliva Nest.
To tell if it is of good quality, look closely at the contents of the bottle.
The Bird’s Saliva Nest strands should be resting at the bottom as it is denser than water, said Mr Ang.
Make it a habit to check the expiry dates of Bird’s Saliva Nest products too.
Raw Bird’s Saliva Nest, which has a shelf life of two years, should be stored in a cool, dry and airtight container in the main refrigerator compartment. Bottled versions can last 21/2 years from its manufacturing date.
If you are not planning to finish a whole bottle of Bird’s Saliva Nest at one go, pour the desired amount into a cup instead of drinking straight from the bottle, as your saliva can cause it to spoil faster.
Store the remainder in the refrigerator and finish it within one week.
