Description

The bird's nests that are harvested come from select species of the swiftlet, a tiny bird found throughout Southeast Asia. These birds inhabit dark caves, and the males construct the nests on the cave walls. Instead of using twigs, straw and other plant material, the swiftlets utilize their own saliva to create a small, shallow basin attached to the rocks.

The nests have high levels of calcium, iron, potassium, and magnesium. They are traditionally believed to provide health benefits, such as improving the voice, easing digestion, alleviating asthma, raising libido, and strengthening the immune system.

The birds are found in JOLO,SULU Philippines...
