Bird Nest



Some time ago I reported about the Birds Nest breeding places in Indonesia but I never actually showed how a bird nest looks like. Well, as you can see from the picture above it has nothing to do with the bird nests we are used to in Europe. They actually come from a little bird called the Edible-nest Swiftlet of the swift family which is found in South-east Asia. Its nest is made of solidified saliva and is used to make the famous bird's nest soup.
